CCAMLR Ends in Stalemate on Antarctic Marine Reserves and Krill Rules
- CCAMLR's 44th annual meeting ran in Hobart from Monday 20 to Friday 31 October 2025[1]
- No new marine protected areas were agreed: proposals for the western Antarctic Peninsula, East Antarctica and the Weddell Sea failed again under consensus rules, vetoed by Russia and China[2]
- Members did not approve Norway's proposed krill management approach, which would have raised the catch limit from 620,000 tonnes a year to nearly 1.2 million tonnes[2]
- An EU-led proposal to replace Conservation Measure 51-07, which spread krill catches across areas until it lapsed in 2024, also failed to reach consensus[2]
- The meeting followed the first season in which the krill fishery reached its trigger level and closed; observers expected the fleet to hit the limit again in 2026 and concentrate in the Bransfield and Gerlache straits[2]
- CCAMLR has 27 members, 26 countries and the European Union[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
