Status of Antarctic Specially Protected Area and Antarctic Specially Managed Area Management Plans Status of Antarctic Specially Protected Area and Antarctic Specially Managed Area Management Plans (Updated 2017) At the 8th meeting of the Committee on Environmental Protection (CEP) in 2005 the Committee agreed to establish on the websites of the CEP and the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty a register of the status of the protected area management plans. The following tables indicate the status of the Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) and Antarctic Specially Managed Areas (ASMAs) adopted by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. The tables present the following information: • The protected/managed areas are listed according to the official numbers given to the ASPAs/ASMAs; • The names are those agreed in Decision 1 (2002) and further Measures adopted by the ATCM; • The Recommendation (or Measure) through which the area was designated is shown in one column while other Recommendations, Measures, Decisions and Resolutions that relate to updating the management plan, extending the expiry date, etc, are listed as a separate column; • The Recommendation (or Measure) through which the first management plan for the area was adopted is marked with an asterisk (*); • Recommendations through which management plan expiry dates have been extended are marked (E); • “Annex V format adoption” refers to the year of adoption of the management plan according to the Protocol; • “Next review” informs the deadline for five yearly review of the management plan, as required by Article 6.3 of Annex V; • Additionally, information is provided on the Environmental Domain, Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Region and Important Bird Areas associated with any ASPA or ASMA Note: Those ASPAs or ASMAs whose management plans were revoked are shown in italics.

  • Davis Valley and Forlidas Pond, Dufek Massif
    Measure 2 (2005) Annex D Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 119 DAVIS VALLEY AND FORLIDAS POND, DUFEK MASSIF 1. Description of Values to be Protected Forlidas Pond (82°27'28"S, 51°16'48"W) and several ponds along the northern ice margin of the Davis Valley (82°27'30"S, 51°05'W), in the Dufek Massif, Pensacola Mountains, were originally designated as a Specially Protected Area through Recommendation XVI-9 (1991, SPA No. 23) after a proposal by the United States of America. The Area was designated on the grounds that it “contains some of the most southerly freshwater ponds known in Antarctica containing plant life” which “should be protected as examples of unique near-pristine freshwater ecosystems and their catchments”. The original Area comprised two sections approximately 500 metres apart with a combined total area of around 6 km2. It included Forlidas Pond and the meltwater ponds along the ice margin at the northern limit of the Davis Valley. The site has been rarely visited and until recently there has been little information available on the ecosystems within the Area. This Management Plan reaffirms the original reason for designation of the Area, recognizing the ponds and their associated plant life as pristine examples of a southerly freshwater habitat. However, following a field visit made in December 2003 (Hodgson and Convey, 2004) the values identified for special protection and the boundaries for the Area have been expanded as described below. The Davis Valley and the adjacent ice-free valleys is one of the most southerly ‘dry valley’ systems in Antarctica and, as of May 2005, is the most southerly protected area in Antarctica.

  • Status of Antarctic Specially Protected Area and Antarctic Specially Managed Area Management Plans
    Status of Antarctic Specially Protected Area and Antarctic Specially Managed Area Management Plans (Updated 2009) At the 8th meeting of the Committee on Environmental Protection (CEP) in 2005 the Committee agreed to establish on the websites of the CEP and the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty a register of the status of the protected area management plans. The following tables indicate the status of the Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) and Antarctic Specially Managed Areas (ASMAs) adopted by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. The tables present the following information: • The protected/managed areas are listed according to the official numbers given to the ASPAs/ASMAs; • The names are those agreed in Decision 1 (2002) and further Measures adopted by the ATCM; • The Recommendation (or Measure) through which the area was designated is shown in one column while other Recommendations, Measures, Decisions and Resolutions that relate to updating the management plan, extending the expiry date etc are listed is a separate column; • The Recommendation (or Measure) through which the first management plan for the area was adopted is marked with an asterisk (*); • Recommendations through which management plan expiry dates have been extended are marked (E); • The year of adoption of the management plan in Annex V format • The deadline for 5 yearly review of the management plan, as required by Article 6.3 of Annex V.

  • Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 119 (Specially Protected Area No
    Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 119 (Specially Protected Area No. 23) Forlidas Pond and Davis Valley Ponds 1. Geographical location. Forlidas Pond, about 100 m in diameter, is situated near the east end of the Dufek Massif in a small unnamed dry valley about 1 km east of the northern edge of Forlidas Ridge and about 1 km northwest of Davis Valley. The unnamed dry valley is separated from Davis Valley by a northeast trending ridge several kilometres long. The position of Forlidas Pond is 82°27'15''S, 15°21'W. The Area includes smaller ponds that occur along the ice margin at the northern edge of Davis Valley, a short distance east of Forlidas Pond. 2. Management Plan i. Description of Area. The Area consists of two parts, shown on the attached map, about 500 m apart: A. All that area within 500 m of the centre of Forlidas pond; B. All that area within a 500 m radius of several meltwater ponds at the ice margin along the northern edge of Davis Valley. ASPA 119 Map A* ii. Reason for designation. The Area contains some of the most southerly freshwater ponds known in Antarctica containing plant life which would be threatened by possible contamination from human activity. The only visitors to Forlidas Pond have been geologists and geophysicists in 1957 and possibly one or two other parties. The ponds 124 in Davis Valley were visited in 1978 by geologists. No botanists or zoologists have visited the Area. These ponds are located in SRA No. 1, north side of Dufek Massif, which could attract visitors such as scientists or tourists.
