Through extensive interviews with those involved with CCAMLR, the report describes the context, drivers, scope and design, stakeholder collaboration and implementation of the CCAMLR with particular emphasis on its cross-border cooperation in a Maritime/Marine Spatial Planning context. The Report highlights the outcomes and lessons learned from this case study, which are used to make recommendations on cross-border collaboration in Maritime Spatial Planning.

UNEP-WCMC led the development of this Case Study within a consortium of partners coordinated by NIRAS and contracted by the European Commission as part of a Study on International Best Practices on Cross-border Maritime Spatial Planning.
