Abstract
Marine mammals in Antarctica primarily fall into two groups: seals and whales. These two groups have been dealt with quite differently within the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS): seals are the subject of a treaty which is a part of the ATS, while whales are governed by the ICRW and only partially by the Antarctic Treaty. Many commentators have explored the interaction between the LOS Convention and the ATS. Some of the key concerns about the application of the LOS Convention in Antarctica revolve around the role of coastal state jurisdiction. The LOS Convention provides a framework for the management of living resources, including marine mammals, generally. The history of the regulation of marine mammals under the ATS has been one of ad hoc responses to developing concerns. The relationship between the CCAS and the Antarctic Treaty was discussed in London. Keywords: Antarctic Treaty System (ATS); ICRW; law of the sea (LOC) convention; marine mammals; Scientific Committee on AntarcticResearch (SCAR)
