1. Estimating the biodiversity of the shelf and oceanic zone of the d’Urville Sea (East Antarctica) for ecoregionalisation using the CEAMARC (Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census) CAML surveys

   Abstract:  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

2. PECHEKER-SIMPA – A tool for fisheries management and ecosystem modeling

   Abstract:  Biodiversity studies produce a large amount of data. Few are well-documented, compiled, readily available and easily accessible. The development of a specific database for the Kerguelen Plateau is an important step to provide data and analyses for supporting research and fisheries

3. Climate change and precautionary spatial protection: ice shelves

   Abstract:  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

4. Climate change and precautionary spatial protection: seasonal sea ice

   Abstract:   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

5. Marine Protected Areas in the Southern Ocean: update on current status of designated areas

   Abstract:  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

6. A toolbox of Marine Protected Area management techniques for the area covered by the Antarctic Treaty and by CCAMLR

   Abstract:  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

7. Designing Marine Protected Area networks: insights from the CHARM3 project

   Abstract:  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

8. A hierarchical classification of benthic biodiversity and assessment of protected areas in the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  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

9. Conservation of Antarctic pack-ice seals with increasing krill fishing and environmental change

   Abstract:  The management of Antarctic krill and conservation of its predators requires understanding about the compound effects of changing habitats, ecosystem interactions, and fishing practices. For Antarctic pack-ice seals, a main group of krill predators, we report the spatial density and
