1 Introduction

Annotations

In 2017, the Scientific Committee agreed to hold a Workshop on Spatial Management (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraph 13.23) as part of its five-year work plan. It also noted a number of issues related to specific MPA planning processes that could be discussed further at the workshop.

The Scientific Committee’s five-year work plan (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI/BG/40) set out science topics under the theme of ‘Spatial management of impacts on the Antarctic ecosystem’, and highlighted two priority topics for the Workshop on Spatial Management:

Spatial planning data management
Implementation of the Ross Sea Region MPA Research and Monitoring Plan

The workshop terms of reference were developed intersessionally, based on the science topics and priorities in the five-year work plan, and were updated following feedback from Members (SC CIRC 18/18).

Submitted workshop papers, along with presentations and analyses conducted during the workshop, will form the basis for discussion and advice.

Annotations

The workshop will develop recommendations for data management in relation to:

Spatial management planning processes
MPA research and monitoring plans.
