C. Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals

The Antarctic Treaty, negotiated in 1959, prohibits any and all military activities in Antarctica and forbids the establishment of any borders. Three agreements the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals (1972), the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR, 1980), and the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (PEP, 1991), which prohibits any activity relating to mineral resources have since been added to the treaty.

Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources

Now, West Antarctica is the part of the continent where the ice is grounded on sea floor as much as 2,000 meters deep.

75. In its submission to the Secretary General dated 7 April 1998, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) reported that the matter of large scale drift net fishing had been discussed at the annual meeting of CCAMLR in 1990.

So, you see, I can hunt the seven seas from the North Pole to the South.

After five days of crossing the Drake Passage, we have finally arrived at Antarctica.

The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals entered into force on 11 March 1978.

Reductions in breeding populations of three seabird species in one Subantarctic island were recorded.

WMO continues to cooperate with Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission.

The Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes carried out a review of the IMO Guidelines for Ships Operating in Arctic Ice covered Waters that were adopted in December 2002, to evaluate their applicability to the Antarctic.

56 Report of CCAMLR to the Twenty second Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (XXII ATCM IP21), April 1998, para. 8.

CCAMLR also indicated that, since the adoption of its resolution, no cases of drift net fishing activities had been reported in the CCAMLR Convention area.

The impacts of marine acoustic technology on Antarctic organisms were given further examination.

Where this will be the south, this'll be the north, this'll be the south, this will be the north.

The weight of the ice is such that the entire continent sags below sea level, beneath its weight.

It indicated that CCAMLR scientists estimated in 1997 that illegal fishing vessels alone had killed over 100,000 Southern Ocean seabirds annually.

The involvement of IMO in Antarctic matters relates primarily to the prevention and control of marine pollution from ships and to maritime safety.

In 2001 New Zealand completed and published Ross Sea Region 2001 A State of the Environment Report for the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica.

The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources entered into force on 7 April 1982.

On the basis of data received from the satellites Okean 01, Meteor 3 and NOAA it has been possible to monitor the ice situation in the Arctic (along the North Sea route) and the Antarctic (during the delivery of goods and new expedition members to Russian Antarctic stations).

North Pole goes to the South, South Pole goes to the North, and vice versa.

And the south pole is the geographic south area.

The south pole of my magnet here is going to be attracted to Earth's magnetic south.

In addition, the Coalition is actively seeking the curbing of illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention area and the regulation by Antarctic Treaty States of the rapidly growing Antarctic tourism industry and of the bioprospecting industry.

Two of the Antarctic Specially Protected Areas for which a revised management plan was adopted in 2003 covered solely marine areas, which was a significant development in the Antarctic protected area system.

403. The following developments, not falling within the purview of the Regional Seas Programme, occurred during the past year.

The South Seas?

The majority of Antarctic seaborne voyages are to the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Earth's geographic south, we'll call that the south pole.

A north and a south.

The United Kingdom has no doubts about its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory and their surrounding or adjacent maritime areas.

The Chinese mainland's coasts are surrounded by the Bohai sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China sea and the South China sea.

The Arctic, Antarctica and the International Polar Year 2007 2008

The United Kingdom, as the depositary Government, reported on the numbers of the six species of Antarctic seal captured or killed in the Convention area (the sea south of 60 degrees latitude south) by States parties to the Convention during the period from 1 March 2000 to 28 February 2003.

Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition

It has a north pole and a south pole.

And the geographic south pole is the north pole of the magnet.

And we call this the south pole.

Photographer Paul Nicklin traveled to Antarctica to shoot a story on leopard seals.

Aerial surveys of glaciers in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Amundsen Sea regions were carried out in 2002 and 2004.
