  • Litchfield Island, Arthur Harbor Anvers Island, Palmer Archipelago
    Measure 4 (2009) – Annex Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 113 LITCHFIELD ISLAND, ARTHUR HARBOR ANVERS ISLAND, PALMER ARCHIPELAGO Introduction Litchfield Island lies within Arthur Harbor, SW Anvers Island, at 64°46'S, 64°06'W. Approximate area: 2.7km2. Designation on the grounds that Litchfield Island, together with its littoral zone, possesses an unusually high collection of marine and terrestrial life, is unique amongst the neighboring islands as a breeding place for six species of native birds and provides an outstanding example of the natural ecological system of the Antarctic Peninsula area. In addition, Litchfield Island possesses rich growths of vegetation and has the most varied topography and the greatest diversity of terrestrial habitats of the islands in Arthur Harbor. Proposed by the United States of America. Adopted through Recommendation VIII-1 (1975, SPA No. 17); renamed and renumbered by Decision 1 (2002); original management plan adopted through Measure 2 (2004). 1. Description of values to be protected Litchfield Island (Latitude 64°46'S, Longitude 64°06'W, 2.7km2), Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island, Antarctic Peninsula was originally designated as a Specially Protected Area through Recommendation VIII-1 (1975, SPA No. 17) after a proposal by the United States of America. It was designated on the grounds that “Litchfield Island, together with its littoral, possesses an unusually high collection of marine and terrestrial life, is unique amongst the neighboring islands as a breeding place for six species of native birds and provides an outstanding example of the natural ecological system of the Antarctic Peninsula area”. The current management plan reaffirms the original reasons for designation associated with the bird communities.
