<p>The UK is a global leader on Antarctic marine protection issues, including within
the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).
At its next meeting in October, CCAMLR will consider the UK co-sponsored proposals
for establishing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the East Antarctic and Weddell Sea.
International consultations are underway at official and technical levels. The final
proposal will be submitted to CCAMLR this week, we will then work with other EU Members
to consider the most appropriate level of lobbying.</p>
