Appearance and protection zone approx. area of 1.5 million sq km and is coordinated in Australia after five years of negotiations and two weeks of difficult negotiations last chance. On the creation of a marine reserve in the Ross Sea have agreed the European Union and 24 other countries.
long przełamywano the resistance of Russia and China, which are actively used areas of the reservoir. A compromise assumes that the reserve will exist for 35 years.
During this time in the Ross Sea area will not be possible to fish or seafood, such as euphausiacea. Will be created special areas of research:
nature Reserve in the Ross Sea will be the first wildlife Park established in international waters. The international Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) had long argued that the protection cover 30 percent. wszechoceanu.
the Ross Sea is part of the southern Ocean, is barely 2 percent. its surface. The southern ocean washes Antarctica and is the most important element in the carbon cycle and energy in nature. Ocean currents from all over the world are here organic carbon and heat the southern Ocean to push their depths.
at the same time, however, the bottom topography of the oceans around Antarctica and Antarktyczny Current in the Arctic circle (the most powerful currents in the world) lead to the fact that organic matter raised from the bottom to the top, a well-sunlit layers of the Ocean South.
So cold Antarctic waters full of life (while most of the world wszechoceanu is actually desert). Scientists and naturalists believe that their need to be saved from man.
In the year 2048. all of Antarctica, i.e. the area located above 60 degrees South latitude are protected under the Antarctic Treaty type. At the southern end of the world, can not lead to war, nuclear tests and to extract natural resources. Was at that time full freedom of scientific research and – still – fishing.
