DESCRIPTION:Maddie is a PhD student studying the biodiversity\, biogeograp
 hy and trophic traits of polychaete worms from the Western Antarctic regio
 n collected during the BAS led BIOPEARL I and II expeditions. Last year sh
 e was one of a group of international scientists to join BAS on the South 
 Orkneys - State of the Antarctic Ecosystem (SO-AntEco) expedition. SO-AntE
 co aimed to investigate species diversity\, assemblage composition\, abund
 ance and habitat zonation along the shelf break of the South Orkney Island
 s\, and to map the locations and distribution of all species found that we
 re identified as VME (vulnerable marine ecosystem) taxa. For the last thre
 e months Maddie has been working at BAS describing and analysing the SO-An
 tEco data and evaluating the policy relevant findings of the expedition. T
 hese results will be used to contribute information and scientific advice 
 for the CCAMLR South Orkney Islands MPA review and for the development of 
 spatial management in this region more generally. In this seminar Maddie w
 ill introduce both her PhD work and some preliminary SO-AntEco findings.
