The Cartagena protocol on biosafety, a supplement to the convention on biological diversity, has strong support in Africa, with a majority of the countries as signatories. In addition, several countries have, in the past, rejected aid (especially unmilled grains) in food imports with concerns for national biosafety. South Africa is so far the only country that is seeing wide-spread use of genetically modified crops.

Brook trout swim inside an exhibit at the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, Va. Brook trout are the only trout that are native to the Chesapeake watershed, and they are the state fish of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. They need cold, clear water to survive, making them a good indicator of the health of a stream. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Japanese stilt grass, an invasive species, grows at Dutch Gap Conservation Area in Chesterfield County, Va., on Aug. 12, 2019.

Price Canyon, just before Helper, UT; the large gap on the right side of the picture is US-6.
The power plant in the lower middle portion of the picture is referred to both as “Carbon Power Plant” and “Castle Gate Power Plant”. It was coal-fired and considered to be a comparatively small power plant. The plant units opened in 1954 and 1957, the plant was shut down in April, 2015. Per the article linked below, the plant was retired comparatively early because its location in the canyon left too little room for installation of filtration equipment needed to reduce mercury emissions.

The Barents Sea ecoregion - the part of the World Ocean north of the Nordic countries and Northwest Russia, has a unique environment with major sea bird colonies, rich benthic and plankton fauna and many major sea mammal species. Within this ecoregion, this graphic illustrates the existing coverage of protected areas. One of the main threats to the region is the development associated with the expansion of fossil fuel extraction activities. Russia and Norway are expanding new fields, and traffic is expected to increase. As illustrated, there are few marine protected areas, and few that are coastal.

Marine Environment Protection Committee meets
IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) is meeting for its 69th session (18-22 April). Among the items on a busy agenda, the MEPC is set to consider the implementation of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, which is close to reaching entry into force criteria. There will be further work on the energy efficiency of international shipping, including the development of the data collection system for ships' fuel consumption.
Following the adoption of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, and building on the discussions at its previous session, the MEPC will further consider a proposal for a work plan to define international shipping's contribution to the global efforts to address climate change. A proposal from the Philippines to designate the marine area known as the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, located between the islands of the Philippines and North Borneo, as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA), will be put forward.
The MEPC will also consider establishing an effective date for the application of the Baltic Sea Special Area under MARPOL Annex IV (Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships). The MEPC was opened by IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim and is being chaired by Mr. Arsenio Dominguez (Panama).
