Hobart welcomes international marine experts
The Governor of Tasmania, His Excellency the Honourable Peter Underwood AC, today opened the thirty-second meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Over the next eight days, 25 delegations, with some 200 marine scientists, resource managers and policy makers from around the world, will review and decide on a range of measures to conserve and manage marine ecosystems in the Southern Ocean. This annual Commission meeting considers scientific data and recommendations from its specialist groups, which meet throughout the year.

Last night was really nice! I love the video and many others love it as well. I didn't meet too many scientists around, but lots of delegates with a non-science background (law, policy, management etc.). One of the Australian delegates was saying it was so tiring during the meeting when the scientists talking about all those numbers and terms don't really make sense for her, but the picture definitely speaks itself! She loved it! They think the dancing in the video is really clever. They also mentioned it is really nice all different materials bound beautifully in one video.
