  • Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 149 (Site of Special Scientific Interest No
    Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 149 (Site of Special Scientific Interest No. 32) Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands 1. Geographical location. Cape Shirreff is a low, ice-free peninsula towards the western end of the north coast of Livingston Island, situated at latitude 62°27’S, longitude 60°47’W, between Barclay Bay and Hero Bay. Telmo Island is the largest of a small group of ice-free rock islets, approximately 2 km west of Cape Shirreff. 2. Management plan i. Description of site. The Site includes the entire area of the Cape Shirreff peninsula north of the glacier ice tongue margin, and most of the Telmo Island group (see map). ASPA 149 Map A* 253 ASPA 149 Map B* ASPA 149 Map C* ii. Reason for designation. The presence of both Antarctic fur seal and penguin breeding colonies, and of krill fisheries within the foraging range of these species, make this a critical site for inclusion in the ecosystem monitoring network being established to help meet the objectives of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. The purpose of the designation is to allow planned research and monitoring to proceed, while avoiding or reducing, to the greatest extent possible, other activities which could interfere with or affect the results of the research and monitoring programme or alter the natural features of the Site. iii. Outline of research. Long-term studies are being planned better to assess and monitor the feeding ecology, growth and condition, reproductive success, behaviour, 254 vital rates, and abundance of pinnipeds and seabirds that breed in the area.

The absence of breeding populations of Adelie penguins on ArderyIsland allows investigation of skua feeding where other bird species are likelyto be predominant in their Introduction diet.
