PELAGIC SEALING AND THE TAKIXQ OF FAUNA ON PACK ICE 



The Representatives, at the time of adopting the Agreed Measures 

 on the Conservation of Fauna and Flora, 



1. considering that appropriate voluntary regulation of pelagic seal- 

 ing or the taking of fauna on pack ice is of great importance for 

 the fulfillment of the purposes and principles of these Measures; 



2. recommend to their Governments that this matter be considered 

 further by them on as broad a basis as practicable in preparing for 

 the Fourth Consultative Meeting at Santiago, Chile, with a view to 

 its inclusion on the Agenda for the Fourth Consultative Meeting ; 



3. recommend to their Governments that when ships of their national- 

 ity engage in pelagic sealing or the taking of fauna on pack ice 

 south of 60" South Latitude, each Government voluntarily regulate 

 these activities to ensure the survival of any species being taken 

 and to ensure that the natural ecological system is not seriously 

 disturbed.
