Table 1

Summary of attributes of the Ross Sea, as detailed in CCAMLR (2009) and Ainley et al. (2010a), applied to

the detailed criteria with which to recognize and preserve special areas under the Madrid Protocol,

Convention for Biological Diversity, and designation of World Heritage Sites under UNESCO. As a high

seas area, the Ross Sea does not qualify under CBD and !"#$%!&'#()*+'!,()'-/UNESCO but the comparison

provides perspective; see also ASOC (2007) and United Kingdom (2007). See Appendix for definitions of

numbered criteria under the three respective international agreements.

I.2.a X II.a; II.g

III.a Uniqueness / rarity; inviolate from human interference; naturalness

Least affected continental shelf/slope on the planet (Halpern et al. 2008; see also Ainley 2009)

I.2.b X, X II.b III.d Representative example of major marine ecosystem; special importance to life history; important natural habitat

Largest expanse of continental shelf in the Antarctic; a biotic refugium during past glaciations, and likely to be one of the last stretches of ocean having significant amounts of pack ice, year-round, in the foreseeable future. Representative section of the Antarctic Slope Front, first described by Ross Sea studies.

I.2.c II.c III.d Unusual and important assemblage of species

Home to 38% of Adélie penguins, 26% emperor penguins, 30% Antarctic petrels, 6% Antarctic minke whale, ~45% Pacific sector Weddell seals; a rich benthos, comprised of 5 major community types; a benthic biodiversity hotspot (Clarke and Johnston 2003).

How Ross Sea Complies

I.2.d II.a, c, f

III.c Type locality, endemism; outstanding example on-going biological processes in evolution

Type locality for: one bird, 40 species of fish, and >450 species of benthic animals. 7 species of fish are endemic, and >40 species of invertebrates have so far been found nowhere else; unique genetic strains of Weddell seals, Adélie penguins

I.2.e X III.d Particular interest on-going research; outstanding value point of view of science

Longest hydrologic record in Southern Ocean; 4 longest time series of wild populations (seals, penguins, benthos, toothfish); intensive history of research on climate change at geologic and contemporary time scales; major climate projects ongoing, such as ANDRILL

I.2.f IIII.b Outstanding geological, glaciological or geomorphological features

Largest Antarctic continental shelf; largest ice shelf; largest polynya; major contributor to ABW production; active volcano

I.2.g II. g III.a Outstanding aesthetic and wilderness value

Least affected stretch of continental shelf ocean on Earth; pack-ice ecosystem bordered by Antarctica’s only major mountain range

I.2.h Recognized historic value First-explored part of the high latitude Southern Ocean (Ross) and of Antarctica itself: Ross, Borchgrevink, Amundsen, Scott, Shackleton, Byrd, Hillary; historic huts and other remains from heroic era expeditions

Most productive stretch of the Southern Ocean (Arrigo et al. 1998).

II.c, d

III.b Vulnerability, fragility, sensitivity; significant on-going ecological processes

Pack ice ecosystem, likely to be one of the few remaining on the planet under current global warming scenarios. Most organisms are slow growing, long-lived, thus sensitive to extraction.
