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.

Sightings of ringed Southern Giant Petrels Macronectes giganteus in East Antarctica: a tale of missed opportunity. Marine Ornithology 45: 191–194. Southern Giant Petrels Macronectes giganteus were leg-ringed as nestlings at two East Antarctic breeding locations, the Frazier Islands and Hawker Island, during the period 1959–1988. I searched these colonies in 2011, deducing ring numbers by using multiple digital photographs. The resightings suggest, but do not confirm, emigration between colonies separated by 1 500 km of coastline. The disparate nature of the ringing program within the Australian Antarctic Territory has led to a loss of important information that could now be used to model and predict how this long-lived species might respond to a number of population pressures, including environmental variability. Key words: Antarctica, demographics, longevity, emigration, Southern Giant Petrel, Macronectes giganteus INTRODUCTION colonies were thought to be related (Woehler et al. 2003). As a result, protective measures were introduced that not only prohibited Globally, the use of plastic or metal leg-rings provides a means to ringing but restricted access for observations to the outside of individually identify free-ranging birds in field studies. However, colony boundaries at intervals of three to five years. Whether the without structured long-term observations of marked individuals, measures had a positive effect on the status of SGPs within the simply deploying leg-rings contributes little to our knowledge of the region is inconclusive (Creuwels et al.
