Brook University, IACS 163, Stony
Brook, NY 11794
Waste Management. The applicant
seeks an Antarctic Conservation Act
waste management permit for activities
associated with penguin population
surveys in the Western Antarctic
Peninsula and the South Shetland
Islands. The applicant proposes using
battery-powered, quadrotor unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assist in the
collection of imagery data for a multiscale population census of penguin
colonies. The UAV will only be flown
by a pilot with extensive experience.
Mitigation measures will be put in place
to prevent loss of aircraft. These
measures include UAVs being flown by
a trained pilot in fair-weather
conditions and having stationed
observers maintain visual contact with
the aircraft at all times. The applicant
proposes various recovery methods in
the unlikely event that an aircraft is lost
over land or sea. These measures will
limit any potential impacts on the
Antarctic environment. The applicant
seeks a waste permit to cover any
accidental release that may result from
UAV use.
Location
King George Island, South Shetland
Islands; Western Antarctic Peninsula
Dates of Permitted Activities
December 1, 2023–March 1, 2024.
