What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Beijing proposed a new 127,000km² marine protected area (MPA) in East Antarctica’s “Cosmonauts Sea”. This proposal, which includes draft changes to the Southern Ocean’s marine park rulebook, is being reviewed at the 45th meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources in Hobart. The MPA would allow commercial krill fishing for seasonal periods, such as six weeks in one zone and two months in another.
