The Antarctic Conservation Act, enacted in 1978 by the 95th United States Congress (Pub.L. 95-541), and amended by Pub.L. 104-227, is a United States federal law that addresses the issue of environmental conservation on the continent of Antarctica. The Departments of the Treasury, Interior and Commerce are responsible for the Act's enforcement. Until the 1960s, few rules existed regarding activities in Antarctica.
