Abstract
Geoscience Australia is supporting work to protect the unique assemblages of organisms that live on the Antarctic seafloor. Australia claims 42 per cent of Antarctica as part of our territory, and this includes a vast marine jurisdiction covering an area of 2.2 million km2. Protecting the marine environments and biota within this East Antarctic region is a high priority, and has recently resulted in the development of a representative system of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), with four areas on the East Antarctic margin proposed for protection. The proposed MPA network is currently under consideration by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
