Hughesa a British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0ET, UK b Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, 181 Macquarie Street, Hobart 7000, Tasmania, Australia ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Handling Editor: Adrian Covaci We report on three decades of repeat surveys of beached marine debris at two locations in the Scotia Sea, in the Keywords: Southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. Between October 1989 and March 2019 10,112 items of Marine debris beached debris were recovered from Main Bay, Bird Island, South Georgia in the northern Scotia Sea. The total Plastic mass of items (data from 1996 onwards) was 101 kg. Plastic was the most commonly recovered item (97.5% by Scotia Sea number; 89% by mass) with the remainder made up of fabric, glass, metal, paper and rubber. Mean mass per − − Antarctic item was 0.01 kg and the rate of accumulation was 100 items km 1 month 1. Analyses showed an increase in South Georgia the number of debris items recovered (5.7 per year) but a decline in mean mass per item, suggesting a trend South Orkney towards more, smaller items of debris at Bird Island. At Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, located in the southern Scotia Sea and within the Antarctic Treaty area, debris items were collected from three beaches, during the austral summer only, between 1991 and 2019.

SUMMARY: This paper describes the conceptual framework of the Latitudinal Gradient Project that is being implemented by the New Zealand, Italian and United States Antarctic programmes along Victoria Land, Antarctica, from 72°S to 86°S. The purpose of this interdisciplinary research project is to assess the dynamics and coupling of marine and terrestrial ecosys­ tems in relation to global climate variability. Preliminary data about the research cruises from the R/V "Italica" and R/V "Tangaroa" along the Victoria Land Coast in 2004 are presented. As a global climate barometer, this research along Victo­ ria Land provides a unique framework for assessing latitudinal shifts in 'sentinel' environmental transition zones, where cli­ mate changes have an amplified impact on the phases of water. Keywords: Latitudinal Gradient Project, Victoria Land, Antarctic, global climate change, interdisciplinary cooperation. RESUMEN: INVESTIGACIONES MARINAS A LO LARGO DE VICTORIA LAND. - Este trabajo describe el marco conceptual del pro- yecto "Gradiente latitudinal" que ha sido implementado por los programas antarticos de Nueva Zelanda, Italia y EE.UU.

  • Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands 1
    From Measure 1 (2002) Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 126 BYERS PENINSULA, LIVINGSTON ISLAND, SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS 1. Description of values to be protected Byers Peninsula (latitude 62°34’35" S, longitude 61°13’07" W, 60.6 km2), Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, was originally designated as Specially Protected Area (SPA) No. 10 through Recommendation IV-10 in 1966. This area included the ice-free ground west of the western margin of the permanent ice sheet on Livingston Island, below Rotch Dome, as well as Window Island about 500 m off the northwest coast and five small ice-free areas on the south coast immediately to the east of Byers Peninsula. Values protected under the original designation included the diversity of plant and animal life, many invertebrates, a substantial population of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina), small colonies of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella), and the outstanding scientific interest associated with such a large variety of plants and animals within a relatively small area. Designation as an SPA was terminated through Recommendation VIII-2 and redesignation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) was made through Recommendation VIII-4 (1975, SSSI No. 6). The new designation as an SSSI more specifically sought to protect three smaller ice-free sites on the peninsula of Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary and fossiliferous strata, considered of outstanding scientific value for study of the former link between Antarctica and other southern continents. Following a proposal by Chile and the United Kingdom, the SSSI was subsequently extended through Recommendation XVI-5 (1991) to include boundaries similar to those of the original SPA: i.e.
