II. Implementation
Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Policy influencing/advocacy
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
Limited Progress have been made during 2019, due to opposition by a few states to fulfilling a previous decision in CCAMLR to create a network of MPAs. GMPP took part in an expedition organized by the Antarctica Forum of China where a number of prominent and influential persons took part. One of the main points of discussion was how to strengthen the conservation of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
Continued opposition to advancing the MPA nominations that have been on the table for the last few years.
Engagement with relevant stakeholders to better understand reasons for opposition to MPAs and to ensure a smooth nomination process in 2020. Perhaps the CBD COP in China will provide such an opportunity.
