Final Summary of Project Achievements
• Continued the long-term monitoring program established at Bechervaise Island in 1989 as Australia's contribution to CCAMLR's Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP)
• Expanded long-term monitoring to other seabird species and to other locations across East Antarctica
• Promoted remote camera technology developed under AAS 2722 to CCAMLR as a cost-effective alternate method for monitoring seabird populations, culminating in the acceptance of their use as a CCAMLR Standard Method
• Under a grant from CCAMLR's Special CEMP Fund, developed software for processing images obtained from remote cameras that outputs data directly compatible with CEMP parameters and made the software available to the CCAMLR community and other seabird researchers
• Undertook research on seabird diet and foraging under AAS projects 4087 and 4088 of direct relevance to CEMP
• Regularly attended and submitted working papers to CCAMLR Working Group and Scientific Committee meetings
