The <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/15101-how-does-climate-change-affect-the-ocean\/\">consequences<\/a> of this change are mounting: a drop in the annual average sea ice coverage that is so vital to the survival of penguins and other animals, and a rise in ocean acidification which makes it difficult for some organisms to form their shells. Warming is also forcing some species, including <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/18351-krill-tiny-creature-huge-ocean-footprint\/\">krill<\/a> \u2013 a tiny crustacean that underpins the region\u2019s food web \u00ad\u2013 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annualreviews.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1146\/annurev-marine-010419-011028\">shift<\/a> where they live, with unknown impacts on the broader ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, commercial fishing for krill \u2013 which are ground up to make oil pills for human consumption, and for use in aquaculture, livestock feed and fertiliser \u2013 has increased markedly in the past decade. Failure to manage the impacts of this concentrated fishing could lead to a cascade of disruption throughout the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Governments agreed to create a network of nine MPAs throughout the Southern Ocean by 2012. Nine years later, the network still doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Krill, as individuals and massive swarms, are a key prey species for whales, crabeater seals, and birds such as Ad\u00e9lie penguins, snow petrels and southern fulmars. And several predators, including killer whales and leopard seals, consume species further up the food chain that are themselves dependent on krill as a food source. Krill also play a role in the capture and transfer of carbon dioxide from the sea surface to the deep ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the inaction on MPAs, members of CCAMLR (the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) were able to agree on extending current conservation measures for krill for a further year. \u201cCM 51-07\u201d is a temporary solution that aims to reduce the impact of fishing on predators which depend on krill as a food source, while CCAMLR continues to work on a more long-term, ecosystem-based management plan.<\/p>\n<h2>MPAs<\/h2>\n<p>CCAMLR comprises 26 member governments that meet annually in Hobart, Australia, to set policy by consensus. So far, it has shown a willingness to protect the region. In 2009, the commission established an MPA along the South Orkney Islands\u2019 Southern Shelf, and in 2016 it created the Ross Sea region MPA \u2013 which, at 2.06 million square kilometres, remains the largest protected area on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Marine scientists overwhelmingly agree that establishing networks of large MPAs is essential for protecting biodiversity and providing resilience to climate change. Under a framework adopted in 2011, CCAMLR member governments had agreed to create a network of nine MPAs throughout the Southern Ocean by 2012. Nine years later, the network still doesn\u2019t exist.<br \/>\n<div class='cdo-shortcode--image'><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211214_Antarctica-MPAs_English.svg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20023 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211214_Antarctica-MPAs_English.svg\" alt=\"Antarctica MPAs map\" width=\"2561\" height=\"1996.023\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The three proposals CCAMLR considered in October would have, if adopted, marked a big step toward preserving connectivity among the Southern Ocean\u2019s many unique ecosystems.

As a pioneering intragovernmental conservation body, CCAMLR can and must do more, or risk being left behind in responding to the global environmental crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the number of co-proponents for the East Antarctic and Weddell Sea MPAs grew significantly; 18 of CCAMLR\u2019s 26 members have now signed on as co-sponsors, with South Korea, India, and Ukraine the latest additions. Importantly, during the meeting, all members agreed to explore the possibility of holding an intersessional meeting on MPAs before the 41st CCAMLR meeting, scheduled for October 2022.<\/p>\n<p>And although no MPAs were designated during CCAMLR 40, there were indications of movement, including significant high-level engagement among member countries in the run-up to the annual meeting.
