There may be no additional management strategy necessary to protect seals in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica beyond what is currently in place. What's in place is the Antarctic Treaty, which forbids commercial efforts of any kind -- including fishing, which could snag seals in nets -- south of 60 degrees South Latitude.
