Proposals for Improved Management of CCAMLR’s Krill Fisheries: Port Inspections

We propose revising several conservation measures at CCAMLR-43 to improve monitoring of krill stocks and vessels participating in krill fisheries. One of these proposed improvements is an update to CM 10-03 (2019), Port inspections of fishing vessels carrying Antarctic marine living resources, to require Contracting Parties to inspect 100% of vessels carrying any Antarctic marine living resources, including krill or krill products. This proposal includes elements from CCAMLR-41/36 Rev. 1 submitted to CCAMLR-41 by the United States and Australia, and CCAMLR-42/32 Rev. 1 submitted to CCAMLR-42 by the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
