At the 1997 Meetings of the Scientific Committee of CCAMLR and its CCAMLR Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM), several areas of mutual interest between SC-CAMLR and the IWC were identified:
Coordination of CCAMLR and IWC research activities;
Analysis of historical and recent datasets;
CCAMLR surveys as platforms of opportunity for whale sightings;
Considerations for re-establishing minke whales as a monitoring species in the CCAMLR Ecosystem Program (CEMP); and
Annual exchange of information.
SC-CAMLR suggests that a closer collaboration between CCAMLR and the IWC could best be achieved by forming a small liaison group with IWC-SC which could work (mostly by correspondence) on matters outlined above. Members of this group should cover a wide range of expertise and should not be confined to those who attend meetings of both CCAMLR and the IWC.
