A scientific expedition has discovered a previously unknown coral reef with abundant marine life off Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, the country's environment ministry said on Monday.

"A deepwater scientific expedition has found the first totally pristine coral reef, approximately two kilometers (1.2 miles) long, at 400 meters (deep), on the summit of a submarine mountain," Environment Minister Jose Davalos said on Twitter. "Galapagos surprises us again!"

Scientists had believed that the only Galapagos reef to survive El Nino weather in 1982 and 1983 was one called the Wellington reef, along the coast of Darwin Island, but the new discovery shows other coral has persisted, the ministry said in a statement.

The reef has more than 50% living coral.

"This is very important at a global level because many deepwater systems are degraded," said Stuart Banks, senior marine researcher at the Charles Darwin Foundation, who participated in the expedition.

"The coral is several thousand years old at least," he added.

The South American country last year expanded the Galapagos marine reserve by 60,000 square km (23,166 square miles), an extension of the 138,000 square km already in place, to protect endangered migratory species between the Galapagos and the Cocos Island in Costa Rica.

The Galapagos, which inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, are also home to giant tortoises, albatrosses, cormorants and other species, some of which are endangered.

2nd international symposium on plastics in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic Region.

Scientific research and studies into plastic pollution have been growing quite fast over the last couple of decades. It is essential that we take full advantage of the best available knowledge when we look for solutions to tackle this global problem. In March 2021, Iceland and the Nordic Council of Ministers hosted a successful First symposium on Plastics in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic Region with participants calling for a follow up in the near future.

For these reasons, the Government of Iceland, with the support of the Nordic Council of Ministers, will host a Second International Symposium on Plastics in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic Region at Harpa, Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Center, on 22-23 November 2023. The aim is to gather scientific, Indigenous and local knowledge on plastic pollution and discuss ways and means to reduce the impact of plastics on Arctic ecosystems.

REGISTER The Government of Iceland has already received confirmation from the following organizations and institutions to become partners in the event. These are the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the Oslo and Paris Commission (OSPAR), the International Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, the University of the Arctic (UArctic), the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) the Polar Institute of Wilson Center, GRID-Arendal, the Center for the Ocean and the Arctic, UiT the Arctic University of Norway and the Nature Institute of Greenland. Iceland is interested in extending the collaboration and partnership in the symposium and will welcome additional partners for the event. The symposium is being held with financial support from the Nordic Council of Ministers. The planned symposium will build on the foundation of science of the first symposium and produce information and advice for decision makers. The symposium aims for exchange of views and updates of knowledge from various sources. The symposium will evaluate the present extent and nature of plastic pollution in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions and discuss its impact on ecosystems and communities. The origin of plastic litter, how it is transported to or in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic region and how breakdown processes are affecting the status of pollution will also be addressed.

Finally the symposium will focus on possible mitigation methods and how they can be implemented and provide useful input to the ongoing negotiations on an international agreement on plastic pollution, and to other ongoing relevant international work to support protection of the marine environment. A high-level scientific steering committee has been established to assist in developing the program of the symposium.

Conference themes

Monitoring and assessment of plastic pollution in the Arctic.

Methodological developments to determine macro, micro and nano plastics.         

Sources and transport of plastic in the Arctic and sub-Arctic.

Impacts of marine litter in the Arctic (environmental, economic and social).

Arctic challenges and solutions for improved waste management.

Tackling plastic pollution: international collaboration, policies, best practices and novel developments from around the world.

Marine litter, particularly when made of plastic, is one of the more challenging problems affecting the marine environment globally. Plastics account for 72% of all marine litter in the world ocean.

Register to participate to the 2nd international symposium on plastics in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic Region.

no but it's funny that.... bunny corcoran doesn't just hate women, he hates nuns, the virgin mary and his classmate. women with agency. women revered and regarded in catholicism.

#he wants to be a catholic so bad #ghjk #the only thing that stops me from writing the idea that.... the catholic/protestant divide plays into how bunny views camilla #is that ofc... in terms of watsonist analysis yes he actively chooses to be a sexist and preach this #but in doylean terms i think it IS the greater cultural hatred of that catholicism treats women differently #and uplifts nuns and the virgin and women of the faith #as opposed to protestant denominations which yes allow women ministers and such #but have an overall lesser view of women in the scripture and church #especially when we speak to that... bunny was not as much a hardcore episcopalian to where his personal beliefs can be 100% confounded #with his particular denomination #but rather an umbrella protestant and a vehicle for general sentiments of greater calvinist ideas #which im again ... an atheist raised in an orthodox environment i only know my shit from the internet #so #i dont want to be mean when protestants clearly don't go around like fucking saying women shouldnt have jobs

Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project: A Milestone in Environmental Approvals

VRX Silica Limited (ASX: VRX) has reached a significant milestone in its Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project as the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) approved the publication of the Environmental Review Document (ERD). This approval marks the beginning of a four-week Public Environmental Review (PER) period, showcasing VRX Silica's dedication to transparency and environmental responsibility.

Starting on June 19th, 2023, the public environmental review process allows stakeholders to provide their comments and feedback, which VRX Silica is obligated to address. Following the PER, the Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia (EPA) will prepare an assessment report with recommendations for the Western Australian Environment Minister's review and consideration for project approval.

Managing Director Bruce Maluish expressed his delight, stating, "We are delighted that the environmental approvals process has moved to this next important stage. This is a significant milestone for the process." Maluish further highlighted VRX Silica's unique rehabilitation method for the mined area, emphasizing the potential economic contribution to the Irwin Shire and Western Australia as a whole.

With over 40 years of involvement in the mining industry, Bruce Maluish brings a wealth of experience and expertise to VRX Silica. Holding a bachelor's degree in Applied Science in Surveying from the Western Australian Institute of Technology, Maluish has held vital positions in esteemed organizations throughout his career. His extensive knowledge and experience in resource sectors make him a valuable asset to VRX Silica.

The Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project's approvals process has witnessed several milestones. VRX Silica previously obtained confirmation from the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water for an accredited assessment. The company has conducted extensive environmental studies since 2017, demonstrating its commitment to meeting regulatory standards.

The project was referred to the EPA for assessment under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (WA) Act, which determined that a Public Environmental Review was necessary. VRX Silica's Environmental Scoping Document (ESD) received approval from the EPA in March 2022, signifying progress in the project's assessment.

An essential feature of VRX Silica's proposal is the unique Vegetation Direct Transfer (VDT) rehabilitation methodology for site restoration in the Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project. Throughout the approval process, VRX Silica has actively addressed information requests from DWER, culminating in the acceptance of the final ERD on June 8th, 2023.

Moving forward, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation will collect and review public submissions during the four-week PER period, and VRX Silica will diligently respond to these submissions. The Environmental Protection Authority will then compile an assessment report with recommendations for the Western Australian Environment Minister's decision on the Proposal's approval. The issuance of a Ministerial Statement upon successful approval will signify a crucial milestone for the project.

Investors have shown confidence in VRX Silica, reflected in the 31.818% jump in the company's share price during a single trading session on June 9th, 2023. As of that date, VRX Silica's market capitalization stood at AUD 61.64 million, with a share price range of AUD 0.093 to AUD 0.190.

VRX Silica, listed on the ASX, is a leading pure-play silica sand company focused on advancing its portfolio of four Western Australian silica sand projects. In addition to the Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project, the company is also developing the Arrowsmith Central Silica Sand Project, the Muchea Silica Sand Project, and the Boyatup Silica Sand Project.

For the latest updates and details on VRX Silica and its projects, visit the official website at https://vrxsilica.com.au/. With its commitment to responsible and transparent development, VRX Silica is poised for continued success in the silica sand industry.
