Ocean governance meets polar stewardship in the krill management frontier

Antarctic krill sits at the intersection of two evolving legal regimes, and the tension between them demands attention. CCAMLR has managed this keystone species as a fishery commodity since 1982, but the new BBNJ Agreement classifies krill differently, as a marine genetic resource with distinct benefit-sharing obligations. This study's conclusion is practical: a non-monetary approach that leverages CCAMLR's existing observation programs offers the clearest path forward.
