Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)

The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is part of the Antarctic Treaty System. It was entered into force on 7 April 1982 by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, which is located in Tasmania, Australia. The aim of the convention is to preserve marine life and environmental integrity in and near Antarctica. CCAMLR has also set up the Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) to further monitor the effects of fishing and harvesting of species in the area.
