Abstract

This paper provides a list of potential methods to apply in defining high risk areas using the waters around New Zealand as an example. While these options are shown at a finer spatial scale (0.2 degrees cells), the authors consider that, for CCSBT, 5 degree cells would be more appropriate given data availability and complexity in managing at a finer resolution.
