Deception Island was adopted as an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA) at Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting XXVIII (Stockholm, 2005). The ASMA incorporates a matrix of Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs), Historic Sites and Monuments (HSMs), and visitor sites. This will assure its long term protection from the competing pressures of science (and the logistical support of science), nature conservation and tourism. The Management Plan was updated in 2012 as a result of Measure 10 (2012), and again in 2019 as a result of Measure 10 (2019). National Antarctic Programmes operating within the Area and tour operators visiting the Area should ensure that their staff, crew and passengers are briefed on, and are aware of, the requirements of the Management Plan and supporting documentation.
