Planning marine protected areas under the CCAMLR regime – The case of the Weddell Sea (Antarctica)
Currently, almost 8% of the world’s oceans are designated marine protected areas (MPAs), the majority of which are relatively small and under national jurisdiction. Several initiatives are presently underway in international waters to establish large-scale MPAs, such as for the Southern Ocean under...
