ARK Reports

ARK Commitment

Commitment to a stepwise implementation of voluntary restricted zones and implementation of transshipment and vessel standards for the krill fishery in the Antarctic Peninsula.

ARK Commitment Review Process

This review process consists of a two-step approach. First, an Expert Panel will analyze fishing data and provide an assessment regarding compliance issues, fishing performance, and an update from penguin populations regarding their status and breeding performance.

On a second step, a Review Panel, conformed by a broader group of representatives, will review the overall performance of this voluntary measure, its capacity to fulfill its main objective and advise on necessary adjustments. The Review Panel will take into consideration the outcomes of the Expert Group.
