China formally joined the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources（CCAMLR）in 2007. Since then，China began to participate in the governance of the Antarctic Ocean and started to develop fishing operations in the convention area. This paper reviews the status of the marine conservation in the Antarctic Ocean，the progress of the negotiations concerning marine protected area（MPA）and the main concerns of China. This paper believes that China needs to base its position on this issue on two points. First，the overall strategy of deep sea fishing development needs to be reconciled to the factual degradation of global fishery. Second，the China’s polar policy needs to keep up with the political momentum of ecological civilization. China has to make responsible decisions on this issue on the premise of having a clear understanding of its own specific interests and practical constraints.
