Southern Ocean ecosystems are under pressure from resource exploitation and climate change. Mitigation requires the identification and protection of Areas of Ecological Significance (AESs), which have so far not been determined at the ocean-basin scale. Here, using assemblage-level tracking of marine predators, we identify AESs for this globally important region and assess current threats and protection levels.

- The Retrospective Analysis of Antarctic Tracking Data (RAATD) is a collaborative project aiming to consolidate tracking data for various Antarctic predators to pinpoint Areas of Ecological Significance.
- This initiative enhances our understanding of ecosystem dynamics in the Southern Ocean and aids in predicting how predator distributions may change in response to climate change.
- The publicly accessible dataset includes information from over 70 contributors, featuring 17 predator species and tracking over 2.9 million locations since the 1990s.
