1. Story
2. The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources is adopted, entering into force in 1982. Its distinguishing feature is that it manages the ecosystem rather than the stock: catch limits must take account of the needs of dependent and related species, which was a direct response to the recognition that a krill fishery is not a fishery in isolation but a withdrawal from the food supply of everything else in the Southern Ocean. It decides by consensus, which is both the reason it can act at all and the reason it sometimes cannot.

52. Evidence
53. CCAMLR manages Southern Ocean living resources on an ecosystem basis, requiring that harvesting take account of dependent and related species rather than of the target stock alone, and decides by consensus. The Ross Sea region marine protected area was adopted in October 2016 and entered into force at the end of 2017. V55 VERIFICATION BASIS: no source was opened during production - this session had no network access and no remaining search budget. Area figures for the Ross Sea MPA and current krill catch limits are deliberately not quoted.
