The combined land area of the Senkaku and Spratly Islands amounts to barely 11 square kilometers but the islands are surrounded by rich hydrocarbon reserves.

In order to avoid the further pollution of Antarctica from oil spills, we wish to call on the Consultative Parties to take steps to ensure that their scientific bases phase out the use of hydrocarbon for fuel in favour of solar and wind power.
