RECOMMENDATIONS 
The following recommendations are put forward as a guide to the 
survey team who are to carry out the inspection of suitable sites 
in the Palmer Peninsula. 
1. Biology . 
As the emphasis is on the establishment of a biological station, 
it is suggested that: A) A complete log be kept of all bird and 
seal rookeries, areas rich in flora, whales and other marine 
life. This daily log to cover all observations both at sites 
inspected and whilst travelling. B) If possible a small plankton 
net could be used to collect samples to attest the richness of 
all areas. These observations could form a basis for determining 
the nature of future research. 
2. Ice Conditions . A daily sea-ice log should be kept. If foreign 
bases are visited an exchange of information covering previous 
years ice conditions would be of interest for future planning of 
boat travel in the area. Reprints of maps for plotting ice con- 
ditions are available . 
3. Site Assessment . It is suggested that each member of the survey 
group make out a standard form for recording observations similar 
in format to one listed on next page. This would insure coverage 
of all major points in determining the suitability of a site. 
Individuals could also add to these forms any other relevant 
data which they consider useful in their specific field.
