SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978, as amended ("ACA") (16 U.S.C. 2401, et seq.) implements the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty ("the Protocol"). Annex V contains provisions for the protection of specially designated areas specially managed areas and historic sites and monuments. Section 2405 of title 16 of the ACA directs the Director of the National Science Foundation to issue such regulations as are necessary and appropriate to implement Annex V to the Protocol. The Antarctic Treaty Parties, which includes the United States, periodically adopt measures to establish, consolidate or revoke specially protected areas, specially managed areas and historical sites or monuments in Antarctica.

  • Final Report of the Thirty-Sixth Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting
    Measure 14 (2013) Annex Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 160 FRAZIER ISLANDS, WINDMILL ISLANDS, WILKES LAND, EAST ANTARCTICA Introduction The Frazier Islands consists of a group of three islands located approximately 16 km offshore from Australia’s Casey station, in East Antarctica (see Map A). The islands support the largest of only four known breeding colonies of southern giant petrels Macronectes giganteus on continental Antarctica, and were designated as an Antarctic Specially Protected Area under Measure 2 (2003) for the sanctuary of the birds. The management plan for the Area was revised under Measure 13 (2008). Following their discovery in 1955, the southern giant petrel colonies at the Frazier Islands were visited intermittently during the period mid-January to late March. The aim of these visits was usually the banding of southern giant petrel chicks. Weather permitting, counts of the chicks present were made but were often restricted to Nelly Island. Thus, the early data available do not offer the information needed for an analysis of possible changes in the status of the total population. In more recent years, occupied nests were counted in December, usually covering all three islands. The indication is that the breeding population, especially at Dewart Island, may be increasing. Apart from visits for seabird observations, the Frazier Islands have been visited very infrequently. On average a visit for seabird observations have occurred every two years since the late 1950s (see Appendix 1). In the mid-1980s, a formal management strategy was implemented to minimise human disturbance to breeding colonies of southern giant petrels in the vicinity of Australia’s Antarctic stations.

  • Ornithological Studies at Casey, Antarctica, 1977-1978 by ALAN N
    VOL. 8 (3) SEPTEMBER, 1979 Ornithological Studies at Casey 69 Ornithological Studies at Casey, Antarctica, 1977-1978 By ALAN N. COWAN, 6A Vancouver Street, Red Hill, A.C.T., 2603. Summary This paper reports on ornithological work carried out by the author during his stay at Casey, Antarctica, as Medical Officer to the J 977 wintering party from February 1977 to February 1978. Preliminary notes on the history, geography and climate of Casey and on previous local studies are followed by an outline of the programme undertaken and of the problems encountered. The annual cycle of birds and other animals is briefly described. Systematic accounts are then given of each bird species, with status in the area including numbers where estimates have been attempted, and notes on behaviour. Introduction Casey, the most recently built of Australia's Stations on the Antarctic continent, lies on the Budd Coast just above the Antarctic Circle at 66° l7'S. Lat., 110° 32'E. Long. The station is on the Bailey Peninsula at the N.E. end of Vincennes Bay, which was named by Mawson after the Vincennes, a vessel of the U.S. Exploring Expedition of 1838 to 1842 (Commander, Lt. Charles Wilkes, U.S.N.), the first explorers in the area. Wilkes Station, just N. of Casey, was built by the U.S. Navy in 1957 for the International Geophysical Year. Subsequently taken over by Australia in 1959, it was abandoned in 1969 when Casey was completed and occupied. Geography Several glaciers flow into Vincennes Bay, whose coastline is mainly one of steep slopes of permanent ice and snow broken here and there by moraines and nunataks.
