Many of the islands of the Southern Ocean support populations of ACAP-listed albatrosses and petrels. Here follows a listing of current, formally adopted management plans for various sub-Antarctic and cool-temperate islands and island groups, arranged alphabetically by island name. For several of the islands and island groups earlier management plans have been published, which are now superseded and so are not listed below. Existing plans (in draft or final form) but not yet formally adopted by their respective authorities are also not listed.
Please send details of further management plans covering breeding localities of ACAP species to
