ANTARCTIC SPECIALLY PROTECTED AND MANAGED AREAS

ASPAs may be designated under the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty where management is required to protect areas of outstanding scientific, environmental, aesthetic or wilderness values, or any combination of these values. In addition, Antarctic Specially Managed Areas (ASMAs) can be designated where increased coordination and/or cooperation is required to minimise environmental impacts. Please identify in this section any sites you believe should be considered for ASPA or ASMA designation and explain why.
