Full description
This record describes GIS polygon data (a shapefile) representing the boundaries of Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) and an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA) in the Australian Antarctic Territory for which Australia was the proponent or co-proponent. Also included are the boundaries of ASPA 168, for which China was the proponent, and ASPA 127 for which Russia was the proponent.Updated ASPA boundaries were sourced from Terauds, A. (2019) Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (Points and Polygons) 2018 Update, Ver. 1, Australian Antarctic Data Centre. Full details can be found at: http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.26179/5c1b10c534c19
