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

The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is an international agreement established in 1982 to protect and sustainably manage marine life around Antarctica. Its goal is to ensure that fish, whales, and other marine species are preserved for future generations by setting fishing limits, monitoring populations, and preventing overfishing. Countries that are part of CCAMLR cooperate through research and regulations, balancing economic interests with ecological health. Overall, it aims to maintain a healthy Antarctic marine ecosystem by promoting responsible resource use and conservation.
