Antarctic Conservation Zone

EDM number 435 in 2013-14, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 16/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Environmental protection, Fisheries, Marine environment and Nature conservation.

That this House deeply regrets the failure of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Resources to agree on a new area of conservation; believes that this failure will allow excessive fishing and that this will put the ecosystem in danger and threaten the existence of many seals, penguins and whales; recognises the Government supported the plan; and urges the Government to lobby Russia to ensure that the conservation area is fully agreed in Hobart in October 2013.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
