| Summary: | The conservation processes known collectively as the /ecosystem approach' to the management of ocean harvesting were initiated by the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Resources (CCAMLR). The expectation of large-scale harvesting in the Southern Ocean of a major prey species, Antarctic krill, prompted the inclusion in the CCAMLR Convention of mechanisms to regulate harvesting such that the needs of species within the Southern Ocean ecosystem were taken into account as well as those of harvesters. Signed in 1980, it is often claimed that CCAMLR was the first conservation-centred convention. It has set a pattern for benign harvesting practices worldwide. The CCAMLR model of fishery management is critically examined in this study in order to determine whether and in what ways it is useful in the living resource management of the Southern Ocean and possibly in other regimes in the world. The question of whether it has been successful or not is a complex one that cannot be answered simply by ... |
