The Brazilian Government is starting the implementation of an environmental management system at Comandante Ferraz Brazilian Antarctic Base (Portuguese: Estação Antártica Comandante Ferraz), installed to conduct research on that continent. Among other objectives, the project team intends in future to obtain the ISO 14001 certification (relating to environmental management).
The first activities carried out by the Brazilian team were the surveys of environmental aspects and impacts of the base, which began on February 2010. The work is being conducted in partnership with the National Institute for Science and Technology - Antarctic Environmental Research (INCT-APA). The Brazilian researchers also visited other bases located in Admiralty Bay, in order to identify solutions adopted by other countries in research activities.
