WS-MPA-11

At CEP XIV (2011), the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat presented Secretariat Paper 6   “Summary of the Work of the CEP on Marine Protected Areas”. This paper reports on the development of the topic of Marine Protected Areas (MPA’s) in discussions of the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP) since 1998.  The most important discussions, including active cooperation with CCAMLR Read More

The World Summit on Sustainable Development implementation plan requires, by 2012, a representative system of marine protected areas (RSMPA) for the purposes of long-term conservation of marine biodiversity.  A great challenge for meeting this goal, particularly in data-poor regions, is to avoid inadvertant failure while giving science the time and resources to provide better knowledge.

This short note describes a circumpolar, pelagic regionalisation of the Southern Ocean south of 40°S, based on sea surface temperature, depth, and sea ice information. The results show a series of latitudinal bands in open ocean areas, consistent with the oceanic fronts. Around islands and continents, the spatial scale of the patterns is finer, and is driven by variations in depth and sea ice Read More

A proposal for a representative system of MPAs (RSMPA) for eastern Antarctica (CCAMLR Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2) has been developed to satisfy overall the principles of comprehensiveness, adequacy and representativeness (CAR).  The Dumont d’Urville Sea area, including the Mertz Polynya, is one of the areas identified in the proposal (140-150°E from the coast to 60°S). This area has Read More

Preliminary analysis of long term dataset on individual tracking of 19 species of seabirds and seals breeding in the French Southern Territories (Crozet, Kerguelen and Amsterdam Islands) to identify area of importance for conservation in the Southern Ocean.

The preliminary results on locations data show that top predators are largely distributed on the southern part of the Indian Read More

More than 30 expeditions have surveyed the Kerguelen Plateau over the last 80 years. However, few of them have collected benthic organisms. Between 1961 and 1970, numerous surveys were initiated by Arnaud, Délepine, Hureau and Rannou. Sampling was done mainly close to the coast, and in limited areas. However, they collected numerous specimens and led to a first estimate of the local Read More

Two studies are tabled for the Subantarctic pelagic area of CCAMLR areas 58.5.1 and 58.6, which covers the Crozet Basin and the north of the Kerguelen Plateau: one based on marine pelagic species (plankton and fish), and the second on top predators.

In this report, we followed three types of methodology: (1) a taxonomic approach based on communities only, (2) a physiognomic approach Read More

At present less than 1% of South Africa’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is protected within Marine Protected Areas. This project aimed to support the identification of a spatial management network in order to represent offshore biodiversity, protect vulnerable ecosystems, contribute to fisheries sustainability and reduce bycatch. This was achieved by collating data, engaging with relevant Read More

Multi-resolution conservation planning: Designing MPA networks linking inshore and offshore ecosystems



Inshore and offshore marine conservation plans are often developed independently. This approach ignores ecological connectivity among ecosystems, across scales, and is economically inefficient. Designing Marine Protected Areas (MPA) networks linking inshore, continental Read More

The details on designation of marine protected areas in the CCAMLR region are considered. The general and specific issues, such as MPA definition in application to CCAMLR area, permissions and restrictions, temporal and spatial extent are discussed. It is noted that the South Orkneys MPA designation procedure could be useful for CCAMLR MPA network development. On the Ross Sea, which still Read More

The Terra Nova Bay area is particularly valuable for science due to the presence of unique marine and terrestrial flora and fauna and the high diversity at both species and community level.

From an oceanographic perspective, the area is characterised by the occurrence of the Terra Nova Bay polynya, a crucial region for the formation of the High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW), formed by Read More

Regional climate change is now known to be well established in the Antarctic, particularly in the Antarctic Peninsula region. One of the most evident signs of climate change has been ice shelf collapse; overall, 87% of the Peninsula’s glaciers have retreated in recent decades. Ice shelf collapse will lead to new marine habitats and to biological colonisation. Colonisation of these habitats may Read More

 Regional climate change is now known to be well established in the Antarctic; however, the implications for biological systems remain poorly understood. Investigating how marine species respond to climate change is potentially best carried out in regions and with species that have been little changed by human activities, particularly by the impacts (either direct or indirect) of marine Read More

The development of a representative system of Antarctic marine protected areas (MPAs) will require up to date information on the location, conservation aims and current status of protected areas designated within the Convention Area. As at August 2011, there is one designated MPA managed by CCAMLR. In addition, the ATCM has designated 6 exclusively marine Antarctic Specially Protected Areas ( Read More

We have developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) and accompanying metadata to store and deliver data on CCAMLR’s management units and spatially resolved conservation measures. The GIS facilitates easy mapping of CCAMLR’s spatial management framework and associated conservation measures, and standardises this information in terms of projection and coastline position. Access to spatially Read More

This paper is submitted for background information.  Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are an important tool for biodiversity protection and marine conservation programmes globally. Although most MPAs have been established relatively recently compared to protected areas on land, there is considerable expertise on their identification, establishment, and management.  A global review of Read More

This paper presents results from two analyses that have been undertaken as part of Action 12 of the CHARM3 project, which focuses on spatial conservation planning in the English Channel. The first analysis investigates the use of species area curves for setting marine habitat targets and shows this approach is sensitive to sample size and the type of species richness estimator. Thus, there is Read More

An international effort is underway to establish a representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean to help provide for the long-term conservation of marine biodiversity in the region. Critical to this undertaking is understanding the distribution of benthic assemblages. Our aim is to identify the areas where benthic marine assemblages are likely to differ in the Read More

The Kerguelen Plateau possesses a very diverse benthic fauna. Over the years, the number of species recorded from the Kerguelen has substantially increased. From 172 species reported by Arnaud (1974), the total number of species has increased dramatically to 735 (Jouventin et al., 1996) and then to 960 in the present study.
