Permit Application: 2017–006
1. Applicant: Joseph Wilson, Penguin
Films Ltd, 1 St Augustine’s Lane,
Bristol BS1 5DE United Kingdom.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: ASPA entry. The applicant
requests entry to Cape Crozier, ASPA
124, and Cape Royds, ASPA 121, in
order to film an Adelie penguin
documentary film for Disney. The
applicant and team would use long lens
filming techniques, which allows the
camera person to be at a distance from
the animals to capture natural
behaviors. The work would be
observational and would not involve
interactions with penguins. The team
would be working with penguin
scientists who conduct work in Cape
Crozier and Cape Royds.
Location: Cape Crozier, ASPA 124;
Cape Royds, ASPA 121.
Dates: October 14, 2016–February 10,
2017.
Permit Application: 2017–010
2. Applicant: Brent S. Stewart, Ph.D.,
J.D., Hubbs-Seaworld Research
Institute, 2595 Ingraham Street, San
Diego, CA 92109.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Take. The applicant is
planning to make photographs at
terrestrial continental and island
locations on the east and west sides of
the Antarctic Peninsula, where seabirds
roost and breed, to document and
observe changes in the physical
characteristics of those habitats and the
distribution and abundance of seabirds
that use them relative to local and
regional changes in environmental
conditions. The applicant states that
brief, minor, incidental disturbance to
behaviors of seabirds might be possible,
though unlikely, owing to auditory or
visual detection by the seabirds of a
camera-equipped (e.g., GoPro) aerial
telerobot as it passes quickly overhead
while making photographs. The
remotely operated, battery powered,
multi-rotor model aerial telerobot (e.g.,
DJI Phantom 3 Pro) will be operated
from a Zodiac offshore, or from
locations on beaches. The aerial
telerobot will be operated within line of
sight distances (<400 m) and altitudes of
30 to 100 m and for 10 to 20 minutes
during each flight. One flight will be
made at each location visited and each
