Abstract
This chapter explores the approach taken by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) and Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to the designation of marine protected areas (MPAs) within the Southern Ocean in light of national and international developments with respect to the creation of MPAs. It examines the creation of MPAs within waters under the jurisdiction of states. The chapter analyzes the designation of MPAs beyond national jurisdiction. It presents three potential reforms to the current regime that would develop MPA designation within the Southern Ocean: the extension of the scope of the Madrid Protocol to the Antarctic Convergence; greater institutional cooperation between CCAMLR and the ATCM permitting the designation of joint MPAs within which a broad range of co-located activities are managed; and greater institutional cooperation between the ATCM and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in order to better manage the impacts of shipping. Keywords: Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM); CCAMLR; commercial shipping; International Maritime Organization (IMO); marine protected areas; marine protected areas (MPAs); PSSA framework; Southern Ocean
