A method for surveying the condition of extensive walking track systems. Landscape and Urban Planning, 2005 (Ref: 12730)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Atrialwas undertaken of two techniques for assessing the physical condition ofwalking tracks (trails) over extended distances. A distance-based technique, in which categorical measurements were made at regular spatial intervals, proved to be sufficiently … reliable to warrant further development.

Long-term studies at Bird Island, South … Georgia, show that numbers of wandering, black-browed … and grey-headed albatrosses have been decreasing … since the late 1970s. To determine the status of the total … South Georgia population…

Fast sinking (integrated weight) longlines reduce mortality of white-chinned petrels (Procellaria aequinoctialis) and sooty shearwaters (Puffinus griseus) in demersal longline fisheries. Biological Conservation, 2006 (Ref: 12713)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Longline fisheries have been responsible for the deaths of large numbers of seabirds worldwide. Two of the most difficult seabird species to deter from baited hooks are the whitechinned … petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis) and sooty shearwater (Puffinus griseus).

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

One hundred and fifteen sperm whales (97 female, 15 male, 3 unknown sex) were involved in three mass stranding events during the month of February 1998 along the west and northwest coastlines of Tasmania, Australia. Sixty-six of these whales stranded at Ocean Beach, Strahan; 35 at Greens Beach…

Managing fisheries effects on marine food webs in Antarctica: trade-offs among harvest strategies, monitoring, and assessment in achieving conservation objectives. Bulletin of Marine Science, 2004 (Ref: 12186)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Harvesting of marine living resources in the Southern Ocean is managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which is widely known for its ecosystem approach to managing fisheries and inclusion of food-web maintenance in the conservation objectives.
