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.
