SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- A group of researchers at Stanford University has expressed concerns that efforts to establish Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Antarctica's surrounding waters are being hobbled by political infighting and fishing interests. The efforts by an international consorti...

This paper reviews several policy options for establishing additional MPAs in Antarctic waters and identifies how international legal frameworks both constrain and enable their implementation. 展开 关键词: Antarctica marine protected areas 出版时间: 2013 ...
as determined by the CCAMLR Scientific Committee. If these two new large-scale MPAs are approved, they would make an essential contribution to achieving a representative system of Marine Protected Areas in Antarctica, covering an area of more than 3 million km2. ...

This paper first gives a brief overview of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)'s struggle to establish Antarctic Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The paper then addresses the question: what lessons can countries learn from CCAMLR's experience in establishin...
the former could focus on conserving large-scale refugia whereas the latter could focus on promoting climatic connectivity between stable areas. In both cases, we must accommodate the strong likelihood of reshuffling under changing conditions. Moreover, we must look beyond PAs because the intervening ...
Time-area closures represent closures that are static in space but not in time, that is, areas of the ocean that are closed seasonally to fishing pressure. This spatial management tool is primarily used to protect species spawning grounds or limit fishing pressure on a specific area during short...
In both sampling areas the DNA of opportunistic, phytopathogenic and symbiotic fungi were detected, which might have been introduced by human activities, transported by birds or wind, and/or represent resident fungi not previously reported from Antarctica. Further long-term studies are required to ...
