…rough alternative solutions based on reduction, reuse and recycling. The project has three objectives: 1. Reduce the negative impacts of plastics on turtles in BIOT 2. Reduce the use of single-use plastic (SUP) on Diego Garcia (DG) 3. Provide alternatives options for reuse or recycling of plastic waste streams…

3 March Array Servicing Exped

…eploy 43 VR2W receivers and 1 underwater modem unit, yielding over 370,000 new detections to contribute to the time-series. In addition, two VR4 Global units were serviced with new moorings, ensuring continued live feeds of acoustic data. Following the success of the previous deployments and retrieval of acoustic release receivers (VR2AR) deployed beyond diveable depths – for example on the submerged seamounts of Sandes’ and Swart’s four AR units…

Governance

…agreements set out in Exchanges of Notes regulate matters relating to the use of the Territory for defence purposes, such as jurisdiction over military and other personnel. These originate in 1966 and provide for an initial 50 year period of US use of the Territory, plus a further 20 years. The agreement was “rolled over” in 2016 and will now expire in 2036. The BIOT Gazette is an official document published by the Government of the BIOT to chron…
