PROPOSAL FOR A JOINT CEP/SC-CAMLR WORKSHOP IN 2009

At its meeting in 2007 CCAMLR endorsed the proposal from the Scientific Committee for a joint CEP/SC-CAMLR workshop. The CEP discussed this at its meeting in June 2008 and suggested a theme of ‘Opportunities for collaboration and practical cooperation between the CEP and SC-CAMLR’. The CEP suggested that areas of common interest might include, though may not be limited to: • climate change research • ecosystem and environmental monitoring • protected areas and spatial management measures • species requiring special protection • marine pollution • biodiversity and non-native species. WG-EMM is invited to consider CCAMLR input into the Workshop agenda and work plan to inform SC-CAMLR at its meeting in October 2008.
