Our Antarctica has mobilised a group of marine biologists, ocean leaders, wildlife photographers, policymakers and other high ambition individuals, in one united voice of the Antarctic Avengers, calling to protect one of the world’s last remaining pristine wildernesses, the Southern Ocean.

This report and its recommendations have been supported by the following individuals and organisations:

Our newly released report calls upon the international community to reverse the course of decline in Antarctic marine protection and reinstate CCAMLR as the guardian of the Southern Ocean by implementing the following actions:

01

CLOSE THE SOUTHERN OCEAN TO KRILL FISHING

to protect Antarctic wildlife, and safeguard ecosystems and global climate stability;

02

ESTABLISH THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA MARINE PROTECTED AREA (MPA)

removing krill fisheries within, as a minimum first step toward an ecologically representative network of MPAs in the Southern Ocean;

03

CCAMLR REFORM

to ensure the implementation of its conservation mandate to protect Antarctic wildlife;

04

ENSURE THE PROTECTION OF AT LEAST 30% OF ANTARCTICA’S HIGH CONSERVATION VALUE WATERS

as a key contribution by CCAMLR countries to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 30×30 target.

ALL EYES ARE ON ANTARCTICA AND CCAMLR TO IMPLEMENT THE CONSERVATION MANDATE IT HAS AGREED TO, NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP UP
