Abstract: 

The current status of national surveys on monitoring of marine debris and their impact on marine mammals and seabirds in the Convention Area has been reviewed. The CCAMLR Marine Debris Database contains data from 11 sites, all within the Area 48 of which there are 3 sites that have data form more than 3 years, these are:
Beached Marine Debris: Chile (Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, South Shetland Island 1993 – 97), United Kingdom (Bird Island, South Georgia 1989 - present and Signy Island South Orkney Islands 1991 - present) and Uruguay (King George Island, South Shetland Islands 2001 – present)
Debris Associated with Seabird Colonies: United Kingdom (Bird Island 1993 – present)
Marine Mammal Entanglement: United Kingdom (Bird Island 1991 - present and Signy Island 1997 - present)
Hydrocarbon Soiling: United Kingdom (Bird Island 1993 - present) Marine debris, principally packaging items, fishing gear, reached a peak in the period 1994–1996 at Bird Island and Signy Island has declined thereafter. The level of marine debris found in seabird colonies at Bird Island has continually increased, with fishing gear such as lines and hooks forming the major part of the debris. Marine mammal (Antarctic fur seal) entanglement at Bird Island reached a peak in 1993 and showed a decline until 2000 since when there has been a slight increase with packaging bands, synthetic string and longline fragments being the main entanglement material. The number of seabirds contaminated with hydrocarbons remains low.

Abstract: 

El Uruguay ha desarrollado un Programa de Relevamiento de Desechos Marinos en las áreas
costeras próximas a sus instalaciones en el Área del Tratado Antártico y por tanto en el Área de
la Convención correspondiente a la Subárea Estadística 48.1, donde se encuentra la B.C.A.A.
(Base Científica Antártica Artigas), en Isla Rey Jorge (o Isla 25 de Mayo), realizándose el
relevamiento de desechos en las playas seleccionadas de acuerdo al método establecido por la
Comisión, en un área Norte de la costa accesible desde la base en la Antártida.
La finalidad del programa es la de colaborar con las funciones de la Comisión en el análisis
de la efectivización de la conservación, mediante el seguimiento de indicativos que a través de
su manifestación como factores que pueden afectar los recursos vivos marinos antárticos, dan
pautas de la orientación de las actividades de recolección y conexas hacia la utilización racional
de estos recursos, en el cumplimiento de las disposiciones de la Convención y las medidas
acordadas en su conformidad.
