Overview:

The SCAR Scientific Research Programme - State of the Antarctic Ecosystem (AntEco) is designed to focus on past and present patterns of biodiversity across all environments within the Antarctic, sub- Antarctic and Southern Ocean regions. The broad objectives of the programme are to increase the scientific knowledge of biodiversity, from genes to ecosystems that, coupled with increased knowledge of species biology, can be used for the conservation and management of Antarctic ecosystems.

This paper summarises the deliverables and milestones, and future plans of AntEco. Appendices include a Membership list.
