The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources ('CCAMLR'�) was praised upon its adoption for being a trailblazing, international ecosystem-based fishery management regime achieving much over the years including: the development of a precautionary approach to the establishment of catch limits for target species; the development of a management regime for Antarctic krill which takes into account the impact of fishing on dependent species; the establishment of an ecosystem monitoring program; the development of specific policies to manage new and exploratory fisheries; the adoption of effective seabird by-catch mitigation rules and other gear restrictions to minimise the ecosystem impact of fishing; and the collection of data on by-catch and ecosystem impacts through the CCAMLR Scheme of International Observation. (CCAMLR, 1995) While it has achieved much since its formation, the pioneering Commission must continue to develop and seek new means of ensuring compliance by member states with CCAMLR's objective in the present day and well into the future.
