There is increasing international support for regionally and globally coordinated approaches to port State control in order to avoid the development of “ports of convenience” and improve fisheries compliance. Possible approaches include the development of regional Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), which would be based on minimum standards. The more ambitious goal to promote legally binding, universally applicable instruments is also gaining momentum. In any case, there is a pressing need to develop harmonized mandatory port State regimes setting down clear and detailed rules that enable port authorities and other interested parties to cooperate effectively against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. CCAMLR is generally regarded as a good regional model in the area of port State control. Hence, CCAMLR Members should draw on their experience in port State measures, particularly on toothfish landings, to encourage the application of similar approaches in those Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to which they are Parties. In addition, notwithstanding CCAMLR progress in port State control, toothfish caught in IUU fishing operations continue to reach international ports and markets. Port State-related measures need to be expanded and strengthened in order to increase pressure on IUU fishers and traders.

Abstract:
El presente documento contiene información respecto al trasbordo de un tripulante desde nave de pabellón chileno “Globalpesca I” a otra de pabellón de Togo, en el área de la Convención. El acontecimiento sucedió el 26 de enero del 2006, día en que el tripulante Sr. Juan Carlos Carrillo Valderrama, fue transbordado desde la nave chilena “Globalpesca I” a la nave “Sargo” de pabellón de Togo. Dado que la “Globalpesca I” se encontraba realizando actividades de pesca exploratoria en el área de la Convención, aún no completaba su marea y el puerto más cercano se encontraba a 20 días de navegación, el capitán del “Globalpesca I” decidió transbordar al tripulante a una nave que se dirigía a puerto. Todos estos antecedentes son presentados por Chile a la Comisión luego de una exhaustiva investigación de los hechos llevada a cabo por las autoridades nacionales competentes.

Abstract:
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) convened its third international workshop on marine acoustic studies at the University of Cadiz, Spain in January 2006. The purpose of the workshop was to review improvements in knowledge and understanding of the interactions between marine mammals and noise generated by human activities in the Southern Ocean. The workshop revised the original risk assessments for particular acoustic equipment currently used in the Southern Ocean, e.g acoustic releases, bathymetric echo sounders, sub-bottom profilers and echo sounder arrays used for mapping krill. Mitigation procedures were discussed and a number of recommendations set for future activities and acoustic research in Antarctica. This paper provides a detailed report of the Cadiz workshop and is a supplementary information paper accompanying the SCAR Observer’s report “Report on the activities of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) 2005/06.” This report was originally delivered to the XXIX ATCM meeting in Edinburgh June 2006.
Abstract:
This paper reports on the various activities conducted by or involving SCAR that relate directly to CCAMLR or are of potential interest to CCAMLR. This includes a report on the SCAR XXIX Delegates Meeting and Open Science Conference held in Hobart in July 2006, progress with the new Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic (EBA) and the Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) projects. CAML has been developing links with the CCAMLR 2008 IPY Survey. The new SCAR-MarBIN data portal continues to gather information on marine biodiversity in Antarctic and SCAR has established a new Action Group on Continuous Plankton Recorder research CPRAG. Both SCAR-MarBIN and CPRAG can provide useful data for CCAMLR. The activities of the Expert Groupss of Birds and Seals are summarised, as well as new research on Ocean-Ice-Atmosphere Systems and interactions. SCAR conducted its third international workshop on marine acoustic studies at the University of Cadiz, Spain in January 2006. A summary is provided in this report. A complete report of the Cadiz workshop is provided in the supplementary SCAR information paper CCAMLR-XXV/BG/23 “Report on the activities of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) 2005/06.”
