The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition is the only organization working full-time to protect the Antarctic environment. Our mission includes ensuring that tourism and scientific operations are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner, raising awareness about the effects of climate change on Antarctica, monitoring Southern Ocean fisheries, and working to develop higher standards for polar shipping at the IMO. Through our seat as the NGO Observer in the Antarctic Treaty System, we ensure that the world’s last great wilderness is preserved for future generations and for science.
