Recommendation 51
51
Acknowledged
Promote establishing a coordinated monitoring programme across the Antarctic Treaty System for adaptive management.
Conclusion
Long-term, systematic monitoring of visitor activities is vital to assess the cumulative impact of tourism. The UK should promote the establishment of a coordinated monitoring programme across the Antarctic Treaty System. Data gathered should underpin adaptive management strategies, including the possibility of introducing caps on tourist numbers or restricting access to particularly vulnerable areas. (Recommendation, Paragraph 225)
