Southern Ocean ecosystems are under pressure from resource exploitation and climate change1,2. Mitigation requires the identification and protection of Areas of Ecological Significance (AESs), which have so far not been determined at the ocean-basin scale. Here, using assemblage-level tracking of marine predators, we identify AESs for this globally important region and assess current threats and protection levels. Integration of more than 4,000 tracks from 17 bird and mammal species reveals AESs around sub-Antarctic islands in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and over the Antarctic continental shelf. Fishing pressure is disproportionately concentrated inside AESs, and climate change over the next century is predicted to impose pressure on these areas, particularly around the Antarctic continent. At present, 7.1% of the ocean south of 40°S is under formal protection, including 29% of the total AESs. The establishment and regular revision of networks of protection that encompass AESs are needed to provide long-term mitigation of growing pressures on Southern Ocean ecosystems.

追踪海洋捕食者以保护南大洋生态系统

南大洋生态系统面临资源开发和气候变化的压力1,2. 减缓需要识别和保护生态重要区域 (AES),目前尚未在海洋盆地尺度上确定这些区域。在这里,我们使用海洋捕食者的集合级跟踪,确定这个全球重要区域的 AES,并评估当前的威胁和保护水平。来自 17 种鸟类和哺乳动物物种的 4,000 多条轨迹的整合揭示了大西洋和印度洋亚南极岛屿周围以及南极大陆架上空的 AES。捕捞压力不成比例地集中在 AES 内部,预计下个世纪的气候变化将对这些地区施加压力,特别是在南极大陆周围。目前,南纬 40°以南 7.1% 的海域受到正式保护,其中 29% 的 AES 受到保护。
