DC Sailing Community use only. Not for resale. 1 Observations of the Southern Indian Ocean Piracy and Armed Robbery General information The British Maritime and Coastguard Agency has brought to the attention of shipowners, masters and crews, the risk of acts of piracy on the high seas or armed robbery against ships at anchor, off ports or when underway through the territorial waters of certain coastal states. The UKMTO (United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations) has established a designated Voluntary Reporting Area (VRA) covering all the waters of Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean S of Suez and Straits of Hormuz to 10°S and 78°E. The High Risk Area (HRA) is an area within the UKMTO VRA where it is considered there is a higher risk of piracy and within which self-protective measures are most likely to be required. The high risk area is bounded by: ● Parallel 15°N in the Red Sea. ● The territorial waters off the coast of E Africa at latitude 05°S. Then to positions: ○ 10°00.OON 60°00.00E. ○ 00°00.OON 55°00.00E. ○ 14°00.OON 60°00.00E. ● Then a bearing 310° to the territorial waters of the Arabian Peninsula. Note that our sailing grounds within the Inner Seychelles Island Group do not fall within the above boundary coordinates and are not considered at risk from piracy.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE MIROVA, IUCN, TASA, BLUE FINANCE AND MINISTRY OF BLUE ECONOMY OF BELIZE ANNOUNCE THEIR PARTNERSHIP IN AN INNOVATIVE BLENDED FINANCE FACILITY TO IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF BELIZE’S MARINE PROTECTED AREAS & CONTRIBUTE TO ITS BLUE ECONOMY. London, June 24, 2021 – The US$1.2 million facility allows the Marine Protected Area co- manager, Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association (TASA), to implement a number of sustainable revenue-generating initiatives and enhance the protection of the 132,000 hectares of spectacular coral reef ecosystems. The investment will have a positive impact on the local economy, including coastal fisher communities. This blended impact investment, alongside catalytic grant funding, will allow TASA to implement smart business models aligned with conservation objectives and generate its own revenues, to effectively protect the marine reserve. The project will enhance TASA’s financial sustainability, improve the MPA visitor experience, generate blue carbon credits and contribute to the effective long-term management of the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve. The investment will also be used to improve the management of fisheries, coral reefs, mangrove and sea grass habitats and is expected to have a direct impact on the local economy, benefitting small-scale fishers (re increased fishery productivity), promoting responsible tourism, and creating new jobs in the MPA. The investment will contribute directly to the United-Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) 1, 13, 14 and 17 (No poverty, Climate action, Life below water and Partnerships). Performance will be monitored using best practice impact standards. The facility has been structured by and funded by Natixis Investment Manager’s affiliate Mirova (through the Althelia Sustainable Ocean Fund1) in partnership with IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) through its Blue Natural Capital Finance Facility and with the support of Blue Finance, a specialized impact investment project developer for MPAs.

  • I. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT (1) 1. Belize Is a Relatively Small Country
    Belize WT/TPR/S/238/Rev.1 Page 1 I. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT (1) INTRODUCTION 1. Belize is a relatively small country in Central America which borders Mexico to the north, Guatemala to the west and south, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. The total area of Belize is 22,963 square kilometres. With a population in 2009 of 333,200 it had a population density of 14.5 per square kilometre, one of the lowest in Central America and the Caribbean. Population growth is strong, at over 3% per year between 2003-10, and 48% of the population were under 20 in 2009.1 Urbanization has been increasing for a number of years and just over half of the population live in urban areas.2 2. From 2002 to 2006, economic growth was strong, averaging over 5%; growth was based on high levels of government spending, which led to an unsustainable rise in the public debt. Growth fell sharply in 2007, as government spending was cut back and the external commercial debt was substantially restructured. The economy picked up in the first half of 2008 before the global financial crises led to reduced foreign investment in Belize, lower growth in foreign remittances, and lower domestic consumption. At the same time, grant inflows were down sharply on the previous year. The result was a slight decline in real GDP in 2009. Renewed growth of about 2% is expected for 2010. 3. As Belize has a small, relatively open economy, trade is an important component of its GDP, with the ratio of imports plus exports of goods and services at well over 100% of GDP (Table I.1).
