RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
South Georgia and the South Sandwich archipelagoes fall within the scope of SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) and CCAMLR (Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources). From the early twentieth century to the present Argentina has proposed and supported intemational agreements and conventions to regulate the harvesting of marine biota, and to promote marine conservation. Adherence to CCAMLR is required by Argentine law.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
