Another overnight view from Ted, this time large numbers of, I think, fur seals following some humpback whales. We are due to depart Rothera at about 12:00UTC for the Falkland Islands and then the UK

That's a wrap on the Government SGSSI Marine Protected Area review science symposium 🐧 A brilliant two days reflecting on the science undertaken over the last five years, and working towards the next steps in the MPA review process.

We found plenty of southern right whales and Gentoo penguins at the start of the #WinterKrillProject midwinter survey, South Georgia British Antarctic Survey 🐧 Jennifer Jackson

A piece of the Cornwall-sized iceberg A-76, which drifted to South Georgia after detaching from the Filchner-Ronne ice-shelf in May 2021. It looks like #marineice (red from dissolved iron from sediment & blue from water = green ice) #WinterKrillProject

Our #MPA Science Symposium was a huge success with thoughtful & engaging talks on research topics across the #ecosystem and lively debate on a range of issues. A summary of the event and copies of the presentations are now available on our website rb.gy/ycdu6

Specialists from Marine Management Organisation provide support to Government SGSSI using vessel tracking and remote sensing satellite surveillance to look for illegal unregulated & unreported #IUU fishing vessels. The #SGSSI #MPA extends over 1.24 million km2

It is #EnvironmentDay in South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands. Today we announce the coming-into-force of new Regulations that will ensure the entirety of the Territories, land and sea, are managed for the continued conservation of globally-unique #biodiversity.

Today the Commissioner announced an additional 166,000km2 of No-Take Zones within our MPA - that's over 8 times the size of Wales! Sustainable fisheries are already strictly regulated, but now 449,000km2 or 36% of our biodiverse waters are totally closed to all fishing activity
