A management group has been established to coordinate activities

• ensure effective communication among parties in the Area;
• provide a forum to resolve potential conflicts of use; and
• minimise duplication of activities.

The group membership includes representatives of the Italian, United States, New Zealand National Antarctic Programmes. The members meet annually and communicate regularly.  They exchange information before and after each Antarctic research season on activities taking place and any problems or new information which might arise.
