<p>Ocean protection issues have been a key point of discussion among Ministers at
recent G7 and G20 meetings, as the UK continues to be a global leader in marine conservation.
Within the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR),
the UK is working proactively to establish a network of Marine Protected Areas around
Antarctica. 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 on these proposals are underway at official
and technical levels.</p>
