Annotations
Participants will be welcomed to the Symposium and informed about various housekeeping details (e.g., breaks, restrooms, health and safety, etc.). The agenda and schedule for the Symposium will be reviewed.
Annotations
Participants will review background information and advice originating from the Symposium Steering Committee, WG-EMM, and Members. The review will include consideration of management and conservation objectives and views on harmonizing krill fishery management and the D1MPA in a staged approach. The Symposium will consider policy-focused papers that are submitted by Members, but scientific papers will be forwarded to WG-EMM. All papers submitted by Members will be taken “as read” (COMM CIRC 24/32, SC CIRC 24/25). The deadline for submission of policy papers and scientific papers is the same (17 June 2024). Papers will not be translated.
a. Papers submitted by the Symposium Steering Committee
b. Advice from WG-EMM
c. Summary of policy-focused papers submitted by Members
Annotations
Participants will discuss how krill fishery management, the D1MPA, and various time-area closures (e.g., the VRZs and a potential closure to reduce threats to South Shetland Antarctic fur seals) can be harmonized within Subarea 48.1 in the short term. Discussion will focus on reconciling adjustment to the catch limit for krill, including seasonal and spatial distribution of catches, with protection of one or more areas to be included in the D1MPA.
a. Reconciling catch limits for krill in Subarea 48.1 and General Protection Zones in the D1MPA.
b. Data collection required to simultaneously support a revision to the management strategy for the krill fishery and protection of one or more areas within the D1MPA.
c. Boundaries and authorized (or prohibited) activities within management units for the krill fishery and zones of the D1MPA, with scenario-specific review of achievement of the objectives for krill-fishery management and the D1MPA.
d. Additional time-area closures required to meet objectives not satisfactorily and simultaneously addressed by the revised management approach for the krill fishery and establishment of the D1MPA, and why, where, and when such closures would be needed.
Annotations
Participants will identify which Conservation Measures need to be revised to implement Stage 1 and allow for future harmonisation in Stage 2, and draft revised text for consideration at CCAMLR-43. If new Conservation Measures are needed, those will also be scoped and, if possible, drafted.
Annotations
Participants will discuss how to harmonise the revised management approach for krill with the D1MPA in Subarea 48.2 over the longer term. Discussion may again address data-collection requirements, boundaries, a review of the potential achievement of the objectives for krill fishery management and the D1MPA, and needs for additional time-area closures.
Annotations
Participants will adopt the Report of the Symposium. Given the time and resources available, the Report will be short, succinct, and focused on outcomes rather than narrative of the discussion.
