Abstract
Evaluating the effects of climate change on Antarctic marine living resources is a priority topic for CCAMLR and was identified by the recent Scientific Committee Symposium as a key area of research. Acknowledging the need to better coordinate, target and integrate scientific advice on climate change, and recognising that a focused workshop would enable progress to be made, this paper recommends that the Scientific Committee agrees Terms of Reference for a CCAMLR scientific workshop on integrating climate change and ecosystem interactions into its science work programme. Draft workshop Terms of Reference are proposed for consideration.
