This document presents the updated draft priority elements for scientific research and monitoring in support of the proposed Weddell Sea Marine Protected Area Phase 2. The priority elements include the recommendation from WG-EMM-2024, suggestions from the WSMPA Phase 2 Research and Monitoring Plan (RMP) workshop (Oslo, Norway, 22-26 April 2024) and feedback from interested CCAMLR Members and Observers. We request that the Scientific Committee consider and provide advice on whether the draft priority elements meet the requirements of CM 91-04 or how it may require further refinement. We would like to thank the CCAMLR Members and Observers who have contributed to the discussions and provided suggestions to improve the priority elements and associated material.
