  • Iucn Summary Gough Island (United Kingdom) 2
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION - IUCN SUMMARY GOUGH ISLAND (UNITED KINGDOM) Summary prepared by IUCN/WCMC (March 1995) based on the original nomination supplied by the Government of the United Kingdom. This original and all documents in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the Committee. 1. LOCATION Located southeast of Tristan da Cunha Island in the south Atlantic Ocean, midway between Africa and South America. 2. JURIDICAL DATA The island and surrounding territorial waters were designated a wildlife area in 1976 under the Tristan da Cunha Conservation Ordinance. 3. IDENTIFICATION The island of Gough (6500ha) represents the eroded core of a Late Tertiary volcano. The east side of the island is dissected by a series of deep steep-sided valleys, which are separated by narrow serrated ridges. Along the west side of the island, rounded slopes extend from the central plateau to the western sea cliffs. Many offshore stacks and rocks are present, mostly within 100m of the main island. Vegetation comprises tussock grass around the coast and wet heath with moss and feldmark, and bog and swamp communities at higher elevations. Knowledge of the flora is incomplete but consists of some 35 native flowering plant and 28 native fern species. Over 30 of Gough's vascular plant taxa are endemic to the Tristan de Cunha islands. A total of 146 bryophytes have been recorded, eight of which are endemic, together with 20 fungi and 24 lichens. Invertebrate fauna also remains poorly known, but comprises 100 species, eight of which are endemic.

  • Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 Henderson Island Expedition June 2019
    Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 Overview Overarching objectives of the expedition: A) Study the plastic pollution on Henderson Island and raise awareness of the waste in the context of the global problem of ocean plastics; B) Study and raise awareness of the Henderson marine environment – promoting the Pitcairn Island Marine Reserve and the benefits of large, fully protected marine protected areas. A 2015 analysis (published in 2017) found that one of the Pitcairn archipelago’s four islands, Henderson, has >18 tonnes of plastic on its beaches: “the highest density of plastic debris recorded anywhere in the world”. The 38km2 island has >38 million pieces of plastic upon its shores. Conservative estimates suggest that 3,500-13,500 new plastic items wash up on Henderson each day. One of its beaches, the 2 km long East Beach, is polluted by 30 million plastic items. The 2015 work served as a reminder that the long-term protection of large areas of ocean needs to be partnered by science and messaging capable of changing attitudes towards the way we live, consume, and discard on land. The Pitcairn Island Council has sanctioned an expedition to Henderson in June 2019 which provides an opportunity for key Pitcairn and ocean stakeholders to effectively communicate the source, scale, range and impacts of ocean debris on Henderson and the Pacific Ocean through on-site science, art and media. The initiative also provides the team an opportunity to study and showcase the beauty and ambition of the Pitcairn Island Marine Reserve Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 MEXICO Timings PACIFIC OCEAN 1 02/06 Arrive at Tahiti Team briefing Tahiti 2 04/06 PERU Depart Tahiti 07:30 a.m.

  • Torr, 2002. Eradication of Rabbits and Mice from Subantarctic Enderby and Rose Islands. in Turning
    Eradication of rabbits and mice from subantarctic Enderby and Rose Islands N. Torr Department of Conservation, P.O. Box 29, Te Anau, New Zealand. Current address: 64 Mokonui Street, Te Anau, New Zealand. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In 1993 rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus cuniculus) were eradicated from Enderby (700ha) and Rose (80ha) islands in the New Zealand subantarctic Auckland Island group. This was achieved by a widespread poison campaign followed by an intensive second phase which included hunting with a dog, spotlighting and trapping. During the poison campaign a helicopter was used to apply a cereal pelleted bait incorporating the anticoagulant toxin brodifacoum to both islands. Mice (Mus musculus), which were present on Enderby, disappeared during the poison campaign and appear to have been eradicated during this phase. The potential impacts to non-target species were assessed prior to the operation. Although the poisoning had a notable short-term impact on skua (Stercorarius skua lonnburgi) numbers there has been no obvious long-term impact on any non-target species. Rabbits and mice were the last of several introduced mammal species to be removed from Enderby and Rose. Without them the unique ecological values of these islands have a chance to recover.

  • Island Locations and Classifications Christian Depraetere Arthur L
    Chapter 2 Island Locations and Classifications Christian Depraetere Arthur L. Dahl Definitions Defining an island, or the state of'islandness', is never straightforward, though this is fundamentally a question of isolation, whether of land isolated by water, or of one enriry being separated from others. This chapter adopts a positivist approach to explore the geographic realities behind our concept ofislands. There is in fact a continuum ofgeographic entities that can fit the definition of "a piece of land surrounded by water": from the continent of Eurasia to the rock on a beach lapped by the waves that becomes a child's imaginary island. Drawing the line between something that is too large to be an island, or too small ro be an island, ultimately remains an arbitrary decision. If one concurs with Holm (2000) that "an island is whatever we call an island", we can select from the traditional uses, the convenient distinctions and arbitrary choices of the past, a terminology for islands that corresponds to scientific observations gleaned from geological, biological and human perspectives. Fortunately, the new tools of remote sensing satellite imagery (such as WORLDWIND for global LAt'\JDSAT imagery by NASA: http: //worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/) provide data sets that make possible for the first time some globally consistent and homogenous measurements of that 'world archipelago' made up ofall those pieces ofland surrounded by water. At the same time, our understanding of geotecwnic movements, sea level changes and island-building processes allows us to see the oceanic 57 A World ofIslands: An Island Studies Reader Island Locations and Classifications islands of today not as erernal entities but as one static image captured The World Archipelago from ongoing processes of islands growing and shrinking, joining and The wor/d during antiquiry as illustrated in the work of Herodotus, being separated, appearing and disappearing through time.

D.Sc, F.L.S., Professor of Biology, Canterbury College, University of New Zealand. INTRODUCTION. THE collection of Crustacea actually made during the expedition was not very extensive, Owing to the fact that very little dredging could be done, and that the Campbell Island station, where I spent most of my time, was not a favourable one for the littoral and marine forms. I have, however, been able to examine and incorporate in this report numerous species that were gathered at other times by Captain Bollons, Professor W. B. Benham, and Dr. L. Cockayne. To these gentlemen and to the various members of the expedition who so willingly collected Crustacea for me at places inaccessible to myself I wish to record here my best thanks. No separate list of the Crustacea from these islands has, so far as I am aware, hitherto been published, though several species have been recorded from them at different times by the various scientific expeditions that have visited antarctic seas, by the late Captain Hutton,* and by the late Monsieur Henri Filhol.f In this report I record the occurrence at these islands of seventy-five species—viz., Decapoda, 12 ; Stomatopoda, 1 ; AmpMpoda, 34 ; Isopoda, 20 ; Tanaidacea, 1 ; NebaUacea, 1 ; Entomostraca {Cirripedia, Copepoda, and Branchiopoda), 6.

  • The New Zealand Off-Shore Islands
    The New Zealand Off-shore Islands G. A. KNOX Zoology Department, University of Canterbury Introduction New Zealand is an island archipelago and has been so throughout the greater part of its geological history. It stretches over 22 degrees of latitude or some 1,540 miles from the subtropical Kermadec Islands in the north to the subantarctic Campbell Island in the south (Fig. 1). Within this regions there are some 500 islands excluding the three main islands and innumerable nonvegetated stacks (Bell, 1963). They include island areas varying from stacks covering less than an acre to large islands such as Chatham Island (238,000 acres) and the main Auckland Island (128,000 acres). They also vary considerably in topography, vegetation, and climate. Many of these islands are of unique scientific value being representative of ecosystems not found elsewhere and containing endemic species of plants and animals of considerable scientific importance. Some have suffered irreparable damage through the activities of man and the mammals he has introduced. Others fortunately have hitherto, wholly, or in part, escaped man-made changes. For these, and for the conservation of the irreplaceable endemic or rare species for which they are a last refuge New Zealand has a special responsibility. On some islands the removal of introduced mammals by officers of the Wildlife Branch, Department of Internal Affairs, has demonstrated that under certain conditions rehabilitation is possible. In this review, nature conservation as it applies to the New Zealand islands is outlined, the conservation status of the various islands is assessed, an account is given of the present level of scientific research on the subantarctic islands and the future requirements for conservation in the New Zealand isiands is considered.
