Proposed workshop on integrating climate change and ecosystem interactions into CCAMLR science

Evaluating the effects of climate change on Antarctic marine living resources is a priority topic for CCAMLR and was identified by the 2022 Scientific Committee Symposium as a key area of research. Acknowledging the need to better coordinate, target and integrate scientific advice on climate change, and recognising that a focused workshop would enable progress to be made, this paper recommends that, following on from discussions during WG-EMM 2022, WG-FSA considers Terms of Reference (TOR) and other elements for a CCAMLR scientific workshop on integrating climate change and ecosystem interactions into CCAMLR’s science work programme.
