C. Fisheries Bodies 



There are several fisheries bodies with which a 

 regime to conserve Antarctic marine living resources might 

 have specific relationships. These include the Regional 

 Fisheries Advisory Commission for the Southwest Atlantic, 

 the Indian Ocean Fishery Commission, the Indo-Pacific 

 Fisheries Council, the International Commission for the 

 Southeast Atlantic Fisheries, and the Permanent Commission 

 of the Conference on the Use and Conservation of the 

 Marine Resources of the South Pacific. The first three 

 bodies were created under the auspices of the United 

 Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , the other 

 two purusant to separate international agreements. 



The proposed federal action would provide for estab- 

 lishment of cooperative relationships, where appropriate, 

 with those bodies. This could be accomplished through the 

 close working relationship anticipated with FAO, supplemented 

 if and where necessary with ties to any of the individual 

 fisheries bodies.
