ASOC
Current Campaigns
ASOC and its members campaign across a range of environmental issues affecting Antarctica including climate change, microplastic pollution, and the impacts of shipping, fisheries, and tourism.
ASOC advocates for a precautionary approach to Antarctic conservation, including area-based management tools, such as marine protected areas, to help buffer against the cumulative stressors of climate change and other human activities in the Antarctic.

Marine protected areas
Less than 5% of the Southern Ocean is fully protected.
A representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs) around Antarctica will not only support resilient ecosystems, but is a necessary step to fulfil the commitment made by 196 nations to protect 30% of ocean space by 2030.
