The Secretariat's Data Centre is the custodian of data which underpin the Commission's decisions and support the implementation and monitoring of those decisions. These data, collectively known as 'CCAMLR data', are used principally by CCAMLR's Scientific Committee, specialised groups and community of scientists, resource managers, fishery officers and policy makers. Rules for Access and Use of CCAMLR Data generally govern the administration and use of data held by the Secretariat.
