"Rich in fish, minerals and scientific potential, the seas around
Antarctica are among the planet’s most pristine waters — but fishing
vessels are already moving in. Next week, negotiators at a meeting of
the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources
(CCAMLR, pronounced ‘cam-lar’) may try to contain the accelerating rush
to access the region’s natural resources. At stake is one of the
planet’s last great wildernesses — as well as the credibility of the
international body set up to protect Antarctica’s marine life."
