International efforts to protect Antarctica's Southern Ocean have stalled for a 10th consecutive year, exposing persistent divisions over conservation and commercial fishing as governments approach a global deadline to protect 30% of the world's oceans.
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) concluded two weeks of negotiations in Hobart, Australia, on Friday without agreement on new marine protected areas or revised rules governing the Antarctic krill fishery, according to the conservation campaign Antarctica2030.
