Aim … To map presence, absence and ignorance of Antarctic seabird breeding occupancy at the spatial resolution of ice-free habitat sites to identify knowledge gaps and inform management and conservation. Location … East Antarctica between longitudes 30°?E and 150°?E.
Under the recently adopted Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, 196 Parties committed to reporting the status of genetic diversity for all species. To facilitate reporting, three genetic diversity indicators were developed…
The Southern Ocean is disproportionately important in its effect on the Earth system, impacting climatic, biogeochemical, and ecological systems, which makes recent observed changes to this system cause for global concern.
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 102 Rookery Islands.
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 101 Taylor Rookery.
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 164 Scullin and Murray Monoliths.
Scullin and Murray monoliths are thought to hold the largest concentration of breeding seabirds in … East Antarctica. The monoliths were designated as an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA No. 164)…
The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds … globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once…
1. The likelihood that seabirds will be hooked and drowned in longline fisheries increases when baited hooks sink slowly. Fishermen target different fishing depths by setting the mainline through a line shooter, which controls the tension (or slackness) in the line.
CCAMLR Conservation Measure 25-02 requires Spanish-system longline vessels to attach 8.5 kg weights at 40 m intervals on longlines to minimise interactions with seabirds. The weights typically used are collections of rocks enclosed in netting bags.
Line setters are used with integrated weight (IW) (50 g m–1 lead core) longlines by some autoline vessels in the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) fisheries to deter seabirds, ostensibly by expediting gear sink rates.
The Spanish system of longline fishing is used in a range of demersal and semi-pelagic fisheries … throughout the southern hemisphere and has been the source of a large number of seabird fatalities.
Past changes in East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) volume are poorly known and diffi cult to … measure, yet are critical for predicting the response of the ice sheet to modern climate change. In particular, it is important to identify the sources of sea-level rise since the Last Glacial … Maximum (LGM)…
