Abstract Preparation of Management Plans for Antarctic Specially Managed Areas Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty provides a new framework for protection and management of areas in the Antarctic with special environmental, scientific, historic, aesthetic, or wilderness values. Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Specially Protected Areas (SPAs), old categories used by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties, are replaced in Annex V by Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPA). The Protocol also includes provisions for the development of a detailed management plan to protect the values for which the area was designated. While the Protocol has not yet been formally adopted by the United States, there has been agreement to voluntarily implement as many of its provisions as practicable. One of those provisions is that the country which proposes a site for designation as an ASPA prepare a proposed management plan for the site for submission to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. Several SPAs and SSSI in the Ross Sea area were proposed by the United States. One, Linnaeus Terrace, Asgaard Range, Victoria Land, has had a management plan prepared using the Protocol guidelines and is in the submittal process. Six others still need to be prepared. One new area is being proposed for protection and must also have a management plan prepared for submission to the Treaty Meeting. Management plans are needed for the following sites: Cape Hallett (SPA 7) - designated in Treaty recommendation IV-7 Cape Royds, Ross Island (SSSI 1) - designated in Treaty recommendation VIII-4 Arrival Heights, Ross Island (SSSI 2) - designated in Treaty recommendation VIII-4 Barwick Valley, Victoria Land (SSSI 3) - designated in Treaty recommendation VIII-4 Cape Crozier, Ross Island (SSSI 4) - designated in Treaty recommendation VIII-4 NW White Island (SSSI 18) - designated in Treaty recommend ation XIII-8 Cape Washington (to be proposed for designation) The content of the management plans will follow the general format proscribed in Article 5, Annex V of the Protocol on Environmental Protection.

南极特别管理区管理计划的编制 《南极条约环境保护议定书》附件五为保护和管理具有特殊环境、科学、历史、美学或荒野价值的南极地区提供了新的框架。 具有特殊科学价值的地点（SSSI）和特别保护区（SPAs）是南极条约协商国使用的旧类别，在附件五中被南极特别保护区（ASPA）取代。 《议定书》还规定制定详细的管理计划，以保护指定区域的价值。虽然美国尚未正式通过该议定书，但已同意自愿执行其尽可能多的条款。 其中一项规定是，提议指定某一地点为南极洲和南极洲保护区的国家应拟订一份该地点的拟议管理计划，提交南极条约协商会议。 美国提议在罗斯海地区建立若干特别保护区和SSSI。 其中一个项目是维多利亚地阿斯加德山脉的林奈梯田，该项目已根据《议定书》准则编制了一份管理计划，目前正在提交过程中。 还有六个人需要准备。 正在提议保护一个新的地区，还必须制定一项管理计划，提交条约会议。 以下地点需要管理计划： 哈雷特角（SPA 7）-条约建议IV-7指定 罗斯岛罗伊兹角（SSSI 1）-条约建议VIII-4指定 罗斯岛抵达高地（SSSI 2）-条约建议VIII-4指定 维多利亚地巴维克谷（SSSI 3）-条约建议VIII-4指定 克罗齐角，罗斯岛（SSSI 4）-条约建议VIII-4指定 西北白色岛（SSSI 18）-在条约建议XIII-8中指定 华盛顿角（待提议指定） 管理计划的内容将遵循《环境保护议定书》附件五第5条规定的一般格式。
