…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…

…ke no other for scientific research. It also provides a testing ground for new environmental management techniques with significance to other protected areas around the world. The BIOT Administration encourages research science to explore this untapped and as yet largely scientifically undocumented area. Recent expeditions have shown the contribution sea birds make to the reef environment, and have discovered new sea grass beds that are vital for…

This creates potential ecological, social and economic impacts throughout the Indian Ocean region. The BIOT Administration is committed to tackling IUU fishing and has s…

BIOT Joins Pioneering Underwater Camera Network

…ions about protecting and managing these diverse ecosystems. This exciting new network builds on previous successful deployments of BRUVS in the Territory. In the 2019 Reef 1 expedition scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) deployed underwater cameras to create a data set representing the most comprehensive survey of reef sharks across the archipelago to date. In 2016 both the VAVAII and Pelagic expeditions deployed sim…

…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…
