Brief Description (Abstract):

Protocol on Environmental Protection of the Antarctica Treaty made it mandatory for all countries maintaining a permanent research station at Antarctica to monitor key environmental indicators, for assessing and verifying the impact of any activity in and around the area of their operations. The wildlife Institute of India was given the responsibility of developing a long term monitoring protocol for major wildlife found around the Indian research stations at Dakhshin Gangotri, Maitri and Princess Astrid coast.

Status: Completed

Purpose: 1. standardise the techniques for monitoring seals and penguins along the Princess Astrid Coast, East Antarctica. 2. derive estimates of seals and penguins along the Princess Astrid Coast between 10-13? E latitude. 3. relate their abundance with changing sea ice conditions during expedition summer period (January -February). 4. examine the distribution pattern of pelagic birds and sea mammals in the Indian ocean along the ships course while travelling to Antarctica.
