SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Science Foundation, as
directed by the Antarctic Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996,
has developed regulations for the
establishment of a permit system for
various activities in Antarctica and
designation of certain animals and
certain geographic areas as requiring
special protection. The regulations
establish such a permit system to
designate Antarctic Specially Protected
Areas.
Description of Permit Modification
Requested: The Foundation issued a
permit (ACA 2025–019) to Ari
Friedlaender on December 1, 2024. The
issued permit allows for Take, Harmful
interference, and Import into USA
associated with research activities on
the ecology of cetaceans in the Antarctic
Peninsula. The permitted activities
include the use of Remotely Piloted
Aircraft Systems (RPAS), deployment of
tags to collect spatial and behavioral
information, collection of biopsies, and
conducting behavioral observations.
Now the holder proposes a
modification to the permit to access
Antarctic Specially Protected Area 113,
Litchfield Island in order to collect
aerial footage using RPAS as part of a
collaborate effort with activities by
Natasja van Gestel conducted under
permit ACA 2023–007. Footage would
be used for outreach purposes to
highlight the importance of plant
covered land in Antarctica. The
collaboration proposes to allow RPAS
filming under this permit (2025–019) as
the holder is experienced in operating
