    Abstract

    We have developed a Geographic information system (GIS) and accompanying metadata to store and deliver data on CCAMLR’s management units and spatially resolved conservation measures. The GIS facilitates easy mapping of CCAMLR’s spatial management framework and associated conservation measures. This paper describes the structure of the GIS database and provides example outputs. The utility of the GIS will be maximised by ensuring that it is kept up to date and easily accessible to stakeholders.
