    CCAMLR fails to designate marine protection areas in East Antarctica, Pew regrets

    A UN report calls to protect more than 3.2 million square kilometers of Southern Ocean waters by designating three MPA proposals.

    The Pew Charitable Trusts expressed disappointment that for an eighth consecutive year, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) ended its annual meeting without designating marine protections in the waters off East Antarctica. Member governments also failed to reach consensus on the designation of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Weddell Sea and Antarctic Peninsula.
