Atlas of the Patagonian Sea

Terms and Conditions

The Atlas of the Patagonian Sea. Species and Spaces, co-edited by the Wildlife Conservation Society and BirdLife International, is a document that identifies areas of important marine habitat for certain species of seabirds and marine mammals which forage in the Patagonian Sea. It represents the result of a collaborative procedure involving non-governmental organizations and more than 25 scientists from different countries and institutions. The main objective of the Atlas, for all who collaborated in its production, was to act as a tool in identifying those marine areas that need to be the focus for immediate and very specific efforts in oceanic conservation.
