Proposal for a CCAMLR Workshop on Marine Protected Areas (2011)

The Scientific Committee has agreed that the proposed 2011 workshop should be a priorityfor support by the MPAs Special Fund. It requested that the MPAs Special FundCorrespondence Group should develop a proposal for the workshop, and that funds could beset aside for this purpose as required (SC-CAMLR-XXVIII, paragraph 3.32). The Correspondence Group has therefore developed this preliminary proposal forconsideration by WG-EMM, including draft terms of reference, suggested outputs, requiredexpertise, possible timing, and an outline budget. It is hoped that this proposal can be refinedby WG-EMM and subsequently presented to SC-CAMLR-XXIV for its endorsement.
