Application Details
Permit Application: 2025–011
1. Applicant: Robin West, VP & GM
Expeditions, Seabourn Quest, Seabourn
Cruise Line Ltd., 450 Third Ave. W,
Seattle, WA 98119.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Waste Management. The
applicant proposes to operate small,
battery-operated remotely piloted
aircraft systems (RPAS) consisting, in
part, of a quadcopter equipped with
cameras to collect commercial and
educational footage of the Antarctic.
The quadcopter would not be flown
over concentrations of birds or
mammals, or over Antarctic Specially
Protected Areas or Historic Sites and
Monuments. The RPAS would only be
operated by pilots with extensive
experience, who are pre-approved by
the Expedition Leader. Several
mitigation measures to reduce
environmental impacts and prevent
against loss of the quadcopter include
painting the them a high-visibility color;
only flying when the wind is less than
25 knots; flying for only 15 minutes at
a time to preserve battery life; having
prop guards on propeller tips, a flotation
device if operated over water, and an
‘‘auto go home’’ feature in case of loss
of control link or low battery; having an
observer on the lookout for wildlife,
people, and other hazards; ensuring that
the separation between the operator and
quadcopter does not exceed an
operational range of 500 meters; and
implementing biosecurity measures by
using disinfecting agents before and
PO 00000

after each flight. The applicant is
seeking a Waste Permit to cover any
accidental releases that may result from
operating the RPAS.
Location: Antarctic Peninsula Region.
Dates of Permitted Activities: October
27, 2024–March 6, 2028.
Permit Application: 2025–013
2. Applicant: Heather Lynch, Stony
Brook University, IACS 163, Stony
Brook, NY 11794.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: 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 multi-scale
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, 2024–March 1, 2025.
