Conservation values in the marine environment surrounding Heard Island and the McDonald Islands Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, 2024 (Ref: 17205)
Category 6: Report

Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) are an external Territory of Australia, located approximately 4000 kilometres southwest of Australia in the southern Indian Ocean.

Southern Ocean pinnipeds provide bathymetric insights on the East Antarctic continental shelf. Communications Earth and Environment, 2023 (Ref: 17075)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Poor coverage of the Antarctic continental shelf bathymetry impedes understanding the oceanographic processes affecting Antarctica’s role in global climate. Continental shelf bathymetry influences warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water movement onto the shelf…

Under the sea ice: Exploring the relationship between sea ice and the foraging behaviour of southern elephant seals in East Antarctica Progress in Oceanography, 2017 (Ref: 17050)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Investigating ecological relationships between predators and their environment is essential to understand the response of marine ecosystems to climate variability and change. This is particularly true in polar regions, where sea ice (a sensitive climate variable)…

Marine distribution and habitat use by Snow Petrels Pagodroma nivea in East Antarctica throughout the non-breeding period Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 (Ref: 16902)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The relationships between flying Antarctic seabirds and their at-sea environments remain poorly understood, particularly outside of the breeding season. Improving our knowledge of how these marine predators use their habitat is a critical step towards conservation of these species.

A dynamic framework for assessing and managing risks to ecosystems from fisheries: demonstration for conserving the krill-based food web in Antarctica Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 (Ref: 16864)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The ecosystem approach to fisheries has been discussed since the 1980s. It aims to reduce risks from fisheries to whole, or components of, ecosystems, not just to target species. Precautionary approaches further aim to keep the risk of damage to a low level. Here…

At sea movement of Macquarie Island giant petrels: Relationships with marine protected areas and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations Biological Conservation, 2008 (Ref: 13550)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Satellite tracking devices were used to examine the at sea movements of southern and … northern giant petrels from Macquarie Island during the Austral summers of 2005–06 … and 2006–07. Time spent at sea for nine northern giant petrels (four breeding adults, five … recently fledged juveniles)…
