Press Release CHAMBER OF SHIPPING OF AMERICA 1730 RHODE ISLAND AVE., NW, SUITE 702 WASHINGTON, DC 20036 PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release November 9, 2018 THE CHAMBER OF SHIPPING OF AMERICA (CSA) ANNOUNCES THE 2018 ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNERS. At a dinner ceremony in the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC on November 7, 2018, CSA awarded Certificates of Environmental Achievement to 1,730 ships owned by one hundred and nine companies with a total of 15,205 years of environmental excellence. The average number of years operating without incident for ships and vessels that received awards is 8.1 years. Two hundred and sixty-seven of the vessels have logged sixteen or more years of environmental excellence. RADM John Nadeau, Assistant Commandant for Prevention Policy, United States Coast Guard, participated in the award ceremony and congratulated the award recipients and the industry as a whole for their extraordinary performance. Mr. D. Lee Forsgren, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Water, US Environmental Protection Agency, also addressed the attendees and expressed his congratulations to the participants on their exceptional environmental performance. Kathy J. Metcalf, President of CSA said, “These awards celebrate the dedication to environmental excellence of our seafarers and the company personnel shore-side who operate our vessels to the highest standards. In today’s world, it seems our industry only gets front-page news when spills or other environmental problems occur. It is encouraging to see how many vessels go for years achieving environmental excellence. It should be clear to the American public that we in the maritime industry take our stewardship of the marine environment very seriously. Safe and environmentally responsible operations is a culture fully embraced by the maritime industry as a whole and as evidenced by the performances of the award recipients recognized tonight.” The awards are open to all owners and operators of vessels that operate on oceans or inland waterways. The CSA Board encourages all operators and owners to take advantage of this opportunity to recognize their crew and shore- side operating personnel and encourages all operators and owners to consider participating in next year’s program. Participation guidance is found on CSA’s website www.knowships.org. For those interested in membership in the Chamber of Shipping of America, contact Kathy J. Metcalf at [email protected] .

I PAY THIS TRIBUTE ABSTRACT This thesis is a survey of Mount Amani, the northwestern province of Chios island (east Aegean). The thesis examines the natural environment and explores the landscape using different kinds of information, in order to reconstruct the medieval historical topography of this region and to contribute to the problématique of the history and evolution of the Byzantine village and its remarkable longevity. The methodology applied ranges from the scanty literary sources, and visible archaeological evidence, and extends to the tracing of any sign of human activity on the landscape.

  • Introduction Acknowledgements
    10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains.

Large concentrations of birds appear during migration and suffer a heavy hunting pressure (shooting and liming). The most important bird areas are Psara and Dotia with mainly bushy vegetation. The authors propose the establisment of a marine and island park in Psara-Antipsara archipelago for the protection of birds during migration.

Georgopoulos Abstract This note argues that the continental shelf between Greece and Turkey should be delimited under general principles of international law. Part I discusses the present dispute and its historical underpinnings. Part II examines the relevant treaty and customary international law applicable to continental shelf delimitations. Part III analyzes the positions of the parties and proposes a solution under principles of customary international law. This Note concludes that the continental shelf should be delimited by drawing a median line between the two states giving half effect to Eastern Islands and then adjusting the line to avoid enclaving them. DELIMITATION OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF IN THE AEGEAN SEA INTRODUCTION On March 27, 1987, a Turkish seismic research vessel, the Sismik I, escorted by warships and jetfighters, prepared to sail for disputed waters around the Greek islands of Lesbos, Lem- nos, and Samothrace.' The proposed expedition exacerbated the ongoing dispute between Greece and Turkey over delimi- tation of the continental shelf in the Aegean Sea appurtenant to the two countries.2 At stake in this dispute are the legal rights to explore and exploit the potentially rich reserves of oil and gas underlying the Aegean seabed.' The longstanding his- torical animosities between the parties make it unlikely that they will be able to negotiate a resolution."t This Note argues that the continental shelf between Greece and Turkey should be delimited under general princi- ples of international law.
