This formalised in law the removal of the existing civilian population of the territory to Mauritius or Seychelles and…

…ed in previous years (some as early as 1996). 4. In order to study habitat use by immature turtles within the Diego Garcia lagoon, and whether individuals depart from BIOT to other distant sites, high resolution Fastloc-GPS-Argos satellite tags were used for the first time to assess their movements. During the expedition, 10 satellite tags were attached to eight hawksbill and two green turtles captured at Turtle Cove. Larger individuals (measuring…

…ntinued to use Red-footed Booby (RFB) as an indicator species, as has been used on DG for two years. For the first time ever in BIOT Brown Booby (BB) were also used as a study species. Building on the two years of ornithological research on DG, the specific objectives of the NI expedition were: Objective 1: To commence the documentation of the year round biology and foraging ecology of breeding RFB and BB at NI. Objective 2: To establish the statu…

…f the tank, chemical warfare and the further development of the aeroplane. New weapons required new countermeasures; steel helmets, gas masks and anti-aircraft guns. Yet it also saw progress in medicine – the development of plastic surgery, x-rays, blood transfusions, antiseptics and anaesthetics amongst others. Aeroplanes and tanks were not the only significant means of transport in a war that alternated between movement and static fighting. In s…
