The Commission’s decision-making is informed by scientific advice provided by the Scientific Committee and its working groups. Members undertake research, often collaboratively, on many issues such as the Antarctic ecosystem and physical environment, the ecology of key organisms and the impact of fisheries on target species and the ecosystem. CCAMLR also specifies data required from fishing vessels and by scientific observers onboard vessels. Much of the CAMLR Convention Area is in the high seas and therefore data are combined from multiple Members for analyses with results reviewed at meetings of working groups and the Scientific Committee.
