Application Details 

Permit Application: 2024–008 

1. Applicant Dr. Heather Lynch, Stony 

Brook University, IACS 163, Stony 

Brook, NY 11794 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Waste Management. The applicant 

seeks an Antarctic Conservation Act 

waste management permit for activities 

associated with penguin population 

surveys in the Western Antarctic 

Peninsula and the South Shetland 

Islands. The applicant proposes using 

battery-powered, quadrotor unmanned 

aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assist in the 

collection of imagery data for a multiscale population census of penguin 

colonies. The UAV will only be flown 

by a pilot with extensive experience. 

Mitigation measures will be put in place 

to prevent loss of aircraft. These 

measures include UAVs being flown by 

a trained pilot in fair-weather 

conditions and having stationed 

observers maintain visual contact with 

the aircraft at all times. The applicant 

proposes various recovery methods in 

the unlikely event that an aircraft is lost 

over land or sea. These measures will 

limit any potential impacts on the 

Antarctic environment. The applicant 

seeks a waste permit to cover any 

accidental release that may result from 

UAV use. 

Location 

King George Island, South Shetland 

Islands; Western Antarctic Peninsula
