Scaling up ocean conservation through recognition of key biodiversity areas in the Southern Ocean from multispecies tracking data

In the Southern Ocean, a highly biologically productive region containing many endemic species, proactive management is urgently needed to mitigate increasing pressures from fishing, climate change, and tourism. We used tracking data from 14 species of Antarctic and subantarctic seabirds and pinnipeds to define KBAs for a diverse suite of marine predators.
