Southern Benthics aims to identify Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) in the Southern Ocean and gain protections by proposing them to be included in CCAMLR’s (Commission for the Conservation of Marine Living Resources) VME registry. Registered VMEs are afforded protection from all commercial bottom fishing to a radius of 1 nautical mile from their midpoint. The portion of this work funded by The Soap and The Sea proposes a site discovered by tourist submarine deployed by the super-yacht MY Scenic Eclipse, off Cape Well-Met, north coast of Vega Island, eastern Antarctic Peninsula.

Abstract in English

Evidence of a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem documented via tourist submarine off Cape Well-Met, Vega Island, Eastern Antarctic Peninsula (Subarea 48.1) - data is a sampling event type dataset published by AntOBIS. This dataset contains records of taxonomic groups that are considered VME-IT by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Resources (CCAMLR) and their relative percent abundances compared to non-VME-IT and bare substrate based on footage taken with a GoPro Hero 7 Black mounted in the pilot window of a U-Boat Worx Cruise Sub 7-300 during an MY Scenic Eclipse citizen tourist cruise at Cape Well-Met, Vega Island, Antarctica on 29 November 2019.
