Remote, high-latitude oceans can prove challenging for the designation and implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs), partly due to issues in monitoring inaccessible localities and large spatial scales. A lack of protection combined with damage from growing human activities has contributed to the degradation of some of the Earth's richest marine biodiversity and highlights the urgent need to support improved marine conservation. High-resolution satellite imagery (VHR; 0.3–0.6 m spatial resolution) provides a much-needed tool for monitoring sentinel species in remote oceans, which would strengthen current and future MPA research and monitoring programs across the globe. This perspective specifies how recent advances in VHR studies have contributed to knowledge regarding occurrence, habitat suitability, and abundance of mesopredators in the Southern Ocean. We demonstrate how knowledge gained through VHR offers a cost-effective and easily accessible method for collecting previously unobtainable data to inform a representative network of Southern Ocean MPAs, and how the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) could utilize this technology. As VHR and automated detection algorithms continue to improve, we showcase a promising opportunity to use these methods to complement current research and monitoring efforts, thus strengthening MPA efforts in the Southern Ocean and beyond.

高分辨率卫星图像应对监测南极及其他地区偏远海洋保护区的挑战

事实证明,偏远的高纬度海洋对海洋保护区 (MPA) 的指定和实施具有挑战性,部分原因在于监测难以进入的地区和大空间尺度方面的问题。缺乏保护以及日益增长的人类活动造成的破坏导致地球上一些最丰富的海洋生物多样性退化,并凸显了支持改善海洋保护的迫切需要。高分辨率卫星图像(VHR;0.3–0.6 m 空间分辨率)为监测偏远海洋中的哨点物种提供了急需的工具,这将加强全球当前和未来的 MPA 研究和监测计划。这一观点详细说明了 VHR 研究的最新进展如何促进有关发生、栖息地适宜性、和丰富的中食性动物在南大洋。我们展示了通过 VHR 获得的知识如何提供一种具有成本效益且易于访问的方法来收集以前无法获得的数据,以告知南大洋海洋保护区的代表性网络,以及南极海洋生物资源保护委员会 (CCAMLR) 如何利用该技术. 随着 VHR 和自动检测算法的不断改进,我们展示了使用这些方法来补充当前研究和监测工作的大好机会,从而加强南大洋及其他地区的 MPA 工作。以及南极海洋生物资源保护委员会 (CCAMLR) 如何利用这项技术。随着 VHR 和自动检测算法的不断改进,我们展示了使用这些方法来补充当前研究和监测工作的大好机会,从而加强南大洋及其他地区的 MPA 工作。以及南极海洋生物资源保护委员会 (CCAMLR) 如何利用这项技术。随着 VHR 和自动检测算法的不断改进,我们展示了使用这些方法来补充当前研究和监测工作的大好机会,从而加强南大洋及其他地区的 MPA 工作。
