  • Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 151
    Measure 5 (2019) Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 151 Lions Rump, King George Island, South Shetland Islands Introduction Lions Rump (62º08’S; 58º07’W) is located on the southwestern coast of King George Island, South Shetland Islands, covering approximately 1.32 km2 in area. The Area takes its name from the distinctive rocky hill lying between the southern extremity of King George Bay and Lions Cove. The Area was originally designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest No 34 through Recommendation XVI-2 (1991, SSSI No 34) after a proposal by Poland on the grounds that it contains diverse biota and geological features and is a representative example of the terrestrial, limnological, and littoral habitats of the maritime Antarctic. The Area was designated primarily to protect its ecological values. It is also valuable as a reference site with diverse avian and mammalian Antarctic fauna, against which disturbance at sites situated near locations of human activity can be measured. A revised Management Plan was adopted in Measure 1 (2000). The site was re-designated ASPA No 151 in Decision 1 (2002). A second revised Management Plan was adopted in Measure 11 (2013). Based on the Environmental Domains Analysis for Antarctica (Resolution 3 (2008)) ASPA No 151 lies within Environment A (Antarctic Peninsula northern geologic), which is a small, terrestrial environment around the northern Antarctic Peninsula consisting entirely of ice-free land cover and sedimentary geology (Morgan et al. 2007). Other protected areas containing Domain A include ASPA No 111, ASPA No 128 and ASMA No 1 (Morgan et al.

  • 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.

Between October 1989 and March 2019 10,112 items of Marine debris beached debris were recovered from Main Bay, Bird Island, South Georgia in the northern Scotia Sea. The total Plastic mass of items (data from 1996 onwards) was 101 kg. Plastic was the most commonly recovered item (97.5% by Scotia Sea number; 89% by mass) with the remainder made up of fabric, glass, metal, paper and rubber. Mean mass per − − Antarctic item was 0.01 kg and the rate of accumulation was 100 items km 1 month 1. Analyses showed an increase in South Georgia the number of debris items recovered (5.7 per year) but a decline in mean mass per item, suggesting a trend South Orkney towards more, smaller items of debris at Bird Island. At Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, located in the southern Scotia Sea and within the Antarctic Treaty area, debris items were collected from three beaches, during the austral summer only, between 1991 and 2019.
