Management of Antarctica
Climate Change
rising temperatures
ice sheets melt
habitat loss for ice-dependent species
Climate change
sea ice reduction
breeding grounds lost
population decline
Ozone depletion
increased UV radiation
plankton & algae damaged
food web disruption
Pollution
Ingested by marine animals
Internal injury/death
Biodiversity loss
Oil spills
Toxic water contamination
Large-scale species die off
Long recovery times
Sewage waste from ships
Nutrient imbalance in water
Algal growth & habitat damage
Resource exploitation
Oil & mineral extraction
Habitat destruction
Ecosystem damage
Drilling/mining activity
Pollution risk increases
Organisms harmed
Overfishing
Krill Decline
Whales, seals, penguins lose food
Disrupted Food Web
Fish populations reduced
Predators switch prey
Ecosystem imbalance
Removal of key species
Biodiversity decreases
Ecosystem stability weakens
Tourism
cruise ships
fuel leaks & emissions
pollution increases
noise pollution
wildlife disturbed
breeding interrupted
non-native species introduced
invasive species spread
ecosystem imbalance
Ecosystem damage
fragile environment disturbed
slow recovery rates →
long-term instability
Decreased biodiversity
fewer species interactions
ecosystem less able to adapt to change
