Application Details
Permit Application: 2021–002
1. Applicant: Megan Cimino, University
of California at Santa Cruz, 1156
High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Enter Antarctic Specially
Protected Areas (ASPAs), Take, Harmful
Interference, and Import into the USA.
The applicant would conduct research
as part of the Palmer Station Long-Term
Ecological Research Program (Palmer
LTER) relating variability in seabird
ecology to changes in the physical and
biological environment, especially sea
ice, snow conditions and the availability
of prey. The research would comprise
two complimentary components at
summer breeding colonies of seabirds
and in their pelagic marine foraging
environment. The applicant would
continue long term-research efforts to
assess how annual environmental
variability affects seabird diets, breeding
success, growth rates, survival and
recruitment, behavior, population
trends, foraging success and seasonal
dispersal. The applicant would engage
in take by capture and release in order
to (1) census populations and mark
breeding territories; (2) capture, mark,
band and/or weigh adults, chicks and
eggs; (3) obtain diet samples by stomach
lavage, by screening contents of
terrestrial sediment traps and/or by
collecting regurgitated or defecated prey
items; (4) place transmitters on
individuals; (5) place instrumented
artificial eggs under incubating
individuals; (6) obtain tissue samples
from adults and chicks (e.g., preen gland
oil, blood, feathers, egg yolk, toenails);
(7) collect addles/infertile eggs no
longer being incubated; (8) use GPS/GIS
technologies to update existing breeding
habitat maps; and (9) salvage dead
specimens in good condition for
educational purposes. The applicant
would use all/some of the above
methods on the following species:
