    Abstract

    According to the recommendations of the recent meeting of the CCAMLR Working Group on
    Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM-99) a progress report on the plans for the
    Russian contribution for the CCAMLR Synoptic Survey is given. A stratified survey design
    for the operation by Russian RV "Atlantida" provides a broad area coverage in Subarea 48.4
    and meso-scale coverage along the eastern and western sides of the South Sandwich
    Islands. The detailed survey plan has been produced in compliance with the Synoptic
    Survey Protocol. A short description of actions undertaken to the data is presented.
