A draft conservation measure for an East Antarctic Marine Protected Area (EAMPA) has been under consideration by the Commission since 2012. This paper presents a revised conservation measure articulating changes, including feedback provided by members, which continue to improve the proposal. The paper provides greater clarity on the proposal by explaining how existing conservation measures create zones within the proposed EAMPA where different activities can occur, and includes supporting explanatory material. The conservation measure for an East Antarctic MPA, at Attachment A, is recommended for adoption.
Abstract:
During discussions on the Ross Sea region marine protected area (RSRMPA) at CCAMLR XXXV in October 2016, it was noted that the implementation of Conservation Measure (CM) 91-05 would require revisions to a number of existing CMs (see paragraph 8.39 of the report of CCAMLR XXXV). CM 91-05 itself contains an obligation to revise CMs 41-09 and 41-10 (see paragraph 28 of CM 91-05).
We describe the proposed changes in part 1 of this paper, with an explanation of each revision. Part 2 of this paper contains copies of all of the relevant CMs with changes edit-tracked, taken from the Schedule of Conservation Measures in Force 2016/17.
New Zealand and the United States recommend that the Commission adopt the proposed changes at its 2017 meeting.

Abstract:
A summary of the work undertaken in relation to tasks identified at CCAMLR-XXXV for the attention of the Intersessional Correspondence Group – Sustainable Financing (ICG-SF) during 2016/17 is presented. During this period, the ICG-SF received information from the Secretariat relating to the following tasks requested by CCAMLR-XXXV:
issues associated with funding conveners to meetings of the Scientific Committee and working groups
considerations relating to the establishment of a Working Capital Fund
a review of the contributions formula arrangements in other multilateral fisheries bodies
further consideration of cost reduction and revenue generation options to support sustainable financing for the organisation
a preliminary review of the contributions formula.
The Commission is invited to provide further advice and recommendations in relation to these and any additional matters relating to the sustainable financing of CCAMLR.
