Summary
[edit]DescriptionInvasive species threaten Antarctica's biodiversity (Copernicus).jpg |
English: Hundreds of vessels arrive in Antarctica every year. According to recent research conducted by researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey, and subsequently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences scientific journal, these vessels can unknowingly transport invasive species which end up threatening the pristine ecosystems of Antarctica. This image shows one such ship off the coast of Antarctica. On 15 January 2022, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured the Xue Long icebreaker as it sailed into Terra Nova Bay in the Ross Sea. The Copernicus Services include a Maritime Surveillance component which, when combined with other products, allows for the monitoring of ships, and supports authorities in managing maritime traffic emergencies. |
