Purpose of the consultation and how it was carried out 1.1. Background and purpose of the consultation Following the successful completion of the Darwin-Plus funded Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) project in summer 2016, there was a desire to maintain the momentum this project generated, as well as utilise some of the tools and datasets developed. Falkland Islands Government (FIG) directed SAERI1 to undertake this second phase of the project (MSP Phase II) on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). While two of the work packages looked at reviewing current Falklands legislation with respect to future MSP implementation and developing a long-term strategy for MSP in the form of a paper to Executive Committee, the other work package (in the form of a case study) looked to create a tangible output that demonstrated the benefits of the MSP tools developed through the first MSP project to local government; assessing the current fishing closure areas as sites for wider marine management (AFCAS) was this case study. With the UK ratifying the Convention of Biological Diversity, and being extended to the Falklands in the summer of 2016, FIG recognised the need to protect at least 10% of the Falklands coastal and marine area, in order to meet its Aichi Targets. The AFCAS case study, which assessed these fishing closure areas against international protected area criteria, demonstrated that with some small changes, such as specifically stating nature conservation objectives, FIG could use pre-existing permanent and temporary closures as sites for wider marine management, whilst also meeting some of its international protected area Aichi Targets. The findings from this assessment of fishing closure areas case study, known as AFCAS, were documented in a report. The report outlined potential Marine Management Areas (MMAs) that could be developed from existing fishing closures, as well as ideas on how these could be managed into the future. Some aspects contained within the AFCAS report had been discussed previously with stakeholders. For example, options around some form of protected area being overlaid onto the same area as the current inshore (3nm) fishing exclusion area were discussed at the third ‘Framing MSP’ stakeholder workshop2 of the Darwin Plus MSP project, hosted on HMS Clyde in April 2016, and was a “generally-accepted idea” by the workshop participants . However, the AFCAS report also contained many new ideas that hadn’t been discussed in depth with stakeholders. 1 SAERI was operating as an arm of FIG until it became an independent body on 30th June 2017 2 http://www.south-atlantic-research.org/media/files/MSP_Falkands_Framing-Workshop-report_5- 7_April_2016_FINAL.pdf 4 Following report sign-off by the project Steering Committee, and discussion with the project Stakeholder Group, the AFCAS public consultation was launched on Wednesday 15th March 2017, and ran for nearly eight weeks, until Friday 5th May. 1.2. How the consultation was carried out 1.2.1. Consultation document & supporting info A consultation response form was developed which sought answers to a number of key questions such as “What do you think about the results from the assessment of current fishing closure areas…” and “What do you think about the criteria/evidence on which the proposed Marine

Accordingly, fluctuations in local populations may substantially affect the global conservation status of these species. The Falkland Islands Seabird Monitoring Programme (FISMP) monitors Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) at 11 sites (17 colonies), Southern Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes c. chrysocome) and Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) at five sites (14 colonies) and Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) at one site (one colony).

    HARDY FAMILY VERSION: 7 March 2017 HARDY FAMILY NB: The following is prepared from Falkland Islands Registers and files – there may be other family born outside the Falklands. Unless stated otherwise, all dated births, deaths and marriages occurred in the Falklands and all numbered graves are in Stanley Cemetery. Various spellings of names are recorded as written at the time. Frederick HARDY was married to Eliza CONGDEN (not in the Falkland Islands). Frederick arrived in the Falkland Islands in 1864. He most likely would have come out with the detachment of Marines under the command of Lieutenant G H Elliott. This detachment consisted of 1 lieutenant, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal and 18 privates who received pay equal to their ordinary pay, rations, quarters plus 2 shillings a day whenever they were employed as labourers. A military detachment was considered necessary in the Colony as they were considered “indispensable on account of the large resort of British and Foreign Merchantmen, and Whalers, and of the necessity of having some force to maintain order amongst them and to secure respect for the laws of the Colony”. [F12] The detachment left the Thames, England, on board the freight ship “Velocidade” on the 29th October 1863 and the officers and their families were listed as 1 officer and 1 lady, with the troops and their families listed as 20 men, 6 women and 8 children. The “Velocidade” arrived in Stanley 8 January 1864 after a voyage of 63 days. By 1868 the available accommodation for the detachment consisted of 8 wooden cottages, a barrack room capable of containing 12 single men or 2 married men and a row of 10 “excellent” stone cottages, commenced in 1861 and recently completed in 1868”.

Fifth Infantry Brigade's night assault against Wireless Ridge, Mount Tumbledown and Mount William had been successful. From the captured heights, the Argentineans could be seen retreating into Stanley. To keep the pressure on, Brigadier Wilson ordered the Welsh Guards to capture the last high ground before Stanley, Sapper Hill. The 1st Welsh Guards had taken heavy losses when the landing ships Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram were bombed at Bluff Cove. To replace the losses, A and C Companies of the 40th Royal Marines were attached to the Welsh Guards. Lt. Colonel Rickett's plan of attack called for the troops to be airlifted to the start line which would be secured by 9th Troop of the 40th Marines. The helicopters were to land on the Goose Green - Stanley Track as the surrounding ground was thought to be mined. The helicopters arrived on time and the troops were airborne. M Company of the 5th Batallon de Infanteria Marnina had been positioned on Mount William when the Scots Guards attacked and captured Mount Tumbledown from other elements of their battalion. They were ordered to abandon the hilltop before the Gurhkas assault began.

The scoping paper set out an overall approach, including content and timescales. A key stage was a joint 1 public consultation in autumn 2014 on the headlines issues and broad approach. 4.2 This paper sets out the proposed approach to that public consultation. It is envisaged that, subject to Executive Council approval, consultation will commence in the first half of April to the end of May 2014 (approximately 7 weeks).
