Environmental Stewardship
Since the earliest stages of discussions and planning for SALE exploration and research, environmental stewardship of these unique environments has been a fundamental precept and guiding principle.
Discussions about environmental issues related to SALE have benefited from the experience of the space program's planetary protection policies and procedures.
For additional details see Planetary Protection Policies, Procedures, and Subglacial Antarctic Lake Environments.
The US National Research Council issued a report in 2007 entitled: Exploration of Antarctic Subglacial Aquatic Environments: Environmental and Scientific Stewardship
