The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) accepts proposals presented by its international membership for the designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPA). Since CCAMLR s inception in 1982, only two MPAs have come into effect so far to protect Antarctic marine resources. In 2017, Argentina and Chile submitted to CCAMLR a joint preliminary proposal for the designation of an MPA in Western Antarctic Peninsula and the Southern Scotia Arc region, an area of high traffic and of long-term political contestation. This paper provides an insight into the political scenario unfolding that resulted in the joint proposal.Based on qualitative work of document analysis, the conclusions of this research indicates that there are three main reasons to explain the aforementioned proposal presented jointly by two Antarctic countries.
