AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoMarine Plastic Monitoring: Scientists from 21 African countries, including Comoros, are meeting in Accra to harmonise microplastics monitoring protocols for coastal environments, using nuclear and isotopic techniques to produce comparable data and support evidence-based marine pollution policies. Regional Research Capacity: The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) says the five-day effort under the IAEA’s RAF7022 project will help standardise how microplastics (20–300 micrometres) are measured, strengthening protection for coastal ecosystems. Ocean Knowledge Gap: A new look at global mapping shows less than 30% of the ocean floor has been mapped to modern standards, leaving most deep-sea terrain far less charted than Mars—an issue for future ocean health and conservation planning.
