At its 30th annual meeting, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) adopted measures to: - fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing by making ship identification numbers of the IMO mandatory for toothfish vessels licensed to fish in the area;
- create marine protected areas (MPAs) based on a general framework; 
- enhance the management of krill fisheries by extending the transhipment notification system to krill vessels; and
- establish a dedicated CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Programme Fund.
