Secondo gli scienziati, rischiamo di perdere il 99% dei coralli che conosciamo se supereremo la soglia di +2°C di riscaldamento del pianeta. Già ora stiamo vedendo gli effetti devastanti dei mari sempre più caldi sui fondali oceanici e sulle barriere coralline. Ma c'è qualcosa che si può fare per agire localmente e proteggere questi coloratissimi organismi?  Grazie a Emilio Mancuso, biologo marino, e Giada Brugnaro, communication professional Canon Italia, scopriamo il progetto World Unseen che alle Seychelles grazie all'imaging ad altissima risoluzione, alla collaborazione con Coral Spawning International e Nature Seychelles, riesce a promuovere la riproduzione dei coralli e la resilienza delle barriere coralline globali.

GB2RS News Sunday, the 23rd of November The news headlines: Could your skills and experience support the RSGB Board? Let the Society know your plans for British Science Week 2026 The RSGB is looking for a volunteer Accessibility Champion Do you have skills and experience that would make you an asset to the RSGB Board? The RSGB elections process has begun, and there are two routes to becoming a Board Director. This week's focus is on Nominated Directors, and there are two vacancies this year. Nominated Directors are selected by the Society's Nominations Committee, and then the RSGB membership votes to endorse them at the AGM. The closing date for these vacancies is the 5th of December 2025, so don't delay! There is no functional difference between a Nominated or Elected Director, and all serve the Board in the same way for a three-year term. If you'd like to know more about what is required of an RSGB Board Director, the first step is to read the candidate pack for Elected Directors on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/elections  After that, if you'd like to express your interest in being a Nominated Director or would like an informal chat, email the RSGB Company Secretary, Stephen Purser, GW4SHF via company.secretary@rsgb.org.uk Preparations for British Science Week 2026 are already well underway. RSGB British Science Week Co-ordinator Professor Ian Neal, G7IGN, is working on guidance and activity suggestions that you could use to get involved. The annual event is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths and is run by the British Science Association. It has chosen ‘curiosity' as its theme for 2026, which fits perfectly with amateur radio. This campaign is a brilliant opportunity for radio amateurs to share their passion with others. This could be through organising an open day for the local community, setting up a buildathon for a club evening, operating a special event station from your local library or even supervising your friends and family in making their first QSO – the options are endless. If this has piqued your interest, and you would like to share your thoughts, ideas and plans with Ian, get in touch via bsw@rsgb.org.uk. You can see what other people did last year and find the RSGB's resource bank at rsgb.org/bsw The RSGB is looking for a proactive and knowledgeable volunteer to serve as its new Accessibility Champion. This important role will focus on ensuring that people with disabilities can fully participate and enjoy everything that amateur radio has to offer. Key responsibilities of the role will be engaging with the amateur radio community, serving as a point of contact and signposting people to resources that can help them, as well as raising awareness of the challenges faced by individuals and sharing inspiring stories. If you have a strong understanding of accessibility issues, ideally with personal experience or professional expertise, and are passionate about inclusion within amateur radio, the Society would love to hear from you. If you're interested in finding out more, including having a chat about the role, please firstly read the full role description on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/volunteers  and then contact RSGB Board Director Nathan Nuttall, 2M0OCC. Did you see the Meteor Beacon Project presentation by Brian Coleman, G4NNS, at the RSGB Convention or on the Convention livestream? Would you like to explore the science that the project supports and be involved in the technical research and activities? Brian is creating a small group to contribute to the ongoing development of the project and will start to record, classify and analyse the data the system can already gather. If you'd like to know more about the project, you can watch Brian's presentation on the RSGB YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB  If you'd like to be part of the ongoing development group, please contact Brian via brian@brcg4nns.org  for a chat about what would be involved. Today is the last day to give the RSGB HF Contest Committee your comments to help shape the rules for HF contests in 2026. The online survey includes questions on ‘Self-Spotting' and ‘Slow speed CW'. You can find the survey online via tinyurl.com/hfcontests Please send details of all your news and events to radcom@rsgb.org.uk.

Recently, the station was spotted using FT8 on the 40m band. QSL directly to M0KZT. See QRZ.com  for more information. Special callsign GB70RS is in use to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the RSGB's weekly news service GB2RS, which has been running continuously since the 25th of September 1955. A team of amateurs is using the callsign on a variety of bands and modes. QSL via the Bureau, Logbook of the World and eQSL. For more information, visit the GB70RS page at QRZ.com Now the DX news Phill, C21TS, is active from Nauru, OC-031, until the 30th of November. The station is often spotted on the HF bands using FT8. QSL via Logbook of the World or OQRS. Darek, TJ1GD, is operating as TL8GD from the Central African Republic until the 30th of November. He is using CW, FT8 and SSB on the HF bands. QSL via Club Log's OQRS, Logbook of the World or via SP3EOL. Now the contest news On Tuesday the 25th, the RSGB SHF UK Activity Contest runs from 1930 to 2230UTC. Using all modes on the 13cm band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Wednesday the 26th, the UK and Ireland Contest Club 80m Contest runs from 2000 to 2100UTC. Using CW on the 80m band, the exchange is your six-character locator. On Thursday the 27th, the 3.5MHz RSGB Autumn Series CW Contest runs from 2000 to 2130UTC. Using CW on the 80m band, the exchange is signal report and serial number. The CQ World Wide DX CW Contest starts at 0000UTC on Saturday, the 29th and ends at 2359UTC on Sunday, the 30th of November. Using CW on the 160 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and CQ zone. The UK is in Zone 14. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 20th of November After the solar mayhem we reported in last week's GB2RS News, the Sun has been relatively quiet over the past week. The maximum Kp index we saw was 4, on Monday, the 17th of November, but otherwise it was often below 1 or 2. The result is that the ionosphere has been more stable and DX has been more forthcoming. Unfortunately, this coincided with a drop in sunspot numbers, and the solar flux index fell from 163 on the 12th to 123 on Thursday, the 20th. However, 123 is still enough to get things moving, and we have seen some good DX being worked. CDXC's Slack chat group has reported several impressive contacts. VK9DX on Norfolk Island was worked on the 15m band using CW; ZL7/LZ1GC on the Chatham Islands was logged on the 40m band using CW; and S79/OK6RA in the Seychelles appeared on the 10m band using CW. Another interesting spot was JA7BXS on the 80m band using CW on the morning of Thursday, the 20th, showing that the low bands are becoming more interesting as we head into winter. DX on the 80m band has little to do with the solar flux index but can be influenced by geomagnetic disturbances; hence, these quieter periods have allowed the 40 and 80m bands to shine. For the coming week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may decline even more, perhaps down to 105 or 110. However, it does look like our run of quiet geomagnetic indices may come to an end, with a Kp index of 5 predicted for the 24th to the 27th of November. In fact, we could have unsettled geomagnetic conditions until the end of the month. So, this may be a good time to start concentrating on the lower bands, such as 40 and 80m. You never know, they might surprise you! And don't forget, the CQ World Wide CW Contest is taking place during the weekend of the 29th and 30th – always a good opportunity for DX. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current spell of unsettled weather is very much in a cold phase, but although it continues to be unsettled, it will be milder and wetter in the coming week. Perhaps more important is that at times it will be very windy with gales in some areas. For propagation, this means that the one feature absent from the present charts is any high pressure to bring tropo conditions. This means that other modes take on more importance. Auroras have provided some recent interest and, although there's nothing dramatic in the immediate future, keep a watching brief for a rising Kp index. A good guide for impending activity is if the Kp index increases above 5. The rain scatter prospects are likely to be good during the coming week as several active frontal systems cross the country. Notably, the evening of Wednesday the 19th saw trans-North sea propagation visible on the Margate 24GHz WebSDR. This extended into the morning of Thursday the 19th, but unfortunately, no coastal stations were around to make QSOs. While rain scatter is a GHz band activity, on the lower band,s you may find some increase in static levels due to lightning activity or even snow static before the weather turns milder. There is not expected to be a strong showing of Sporadic-E in the coming week since we are well out of season. Southern UK stations should continue to watch out for fleeting F-layer DX openings on 50MHz, especially to Africa and Asia. For EME operators, the Moon's declination is at its lowest and negative all week, so Moon window lengths are short and peak elevation is low. We passed apogee on the 20th of November, so path losses are decreasing again. 144MHz sky noise is high today, the 23rd, but will become lower as the week progresses. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

In this extremely enraged episode of Follow the Money, we ask the only question that actually matters in Trump's second crime spree through history: who is getting rich off of Trump chaos and the world's misery? Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman of Trump Tyranny Tracker and Andrea Chalupa of Gaslit Nation together trace a financial pipeline of blood money that runs from the Kremlin, through Qatar, through crypto, straight into Trump World and its favorite oligarch bagmen.  While Ukrainian kids are protesting, begging the world not to look away as Russia bombs their playgrounds and kindergartens, Trump's MAGA lackeys, like Matt Gaetz protege Rep. Anna Luna, are in Florida huddling with Putin's money man and messenger, Kirill Dmitriev, sketching out yet another fake "peace plan" that is nothing but a genocide plan for Ukraine and a launchpad for a larger war with Europe. In a blatant crime of access journalism that would make Michael Wolff jealous, Axios published Kremlin/MAGA disinformation by calling it a "peace proposal." In reality, it's a Kremlin bribe: sell off Ukraine's land, launder the theft through "diplomacy," and cash out in crypto for Trump and his longtime real estate buddy-turned-Kremlin fixer Steve Witkoff, and their sons.  Their plan is for Ukraine to give up Donbas and Crimea, which suffers under Soviet-style repression, disarm Ukraine' military, and expect the world to recognize stolen land as Russian. In exchange, Trump, Witkoff, and their sons would allegedly get crypto via Qatar and a chance to turn genocide into an investment opportunity. All of this is happening while Russia openly kidnaps Ukrainian children, erases their identities, and feeds them into a military pipeline of Putin's forever war, while half of Europe anxiously prepares for war with Moscow.  Follow the money, and you see the gaslighting of Trump once again being bribed to call the Kremlin's foreign policy his own.  Be sure to follow us on our new YouTube channel to help us get the word out about Follow the Money! https://www.youtube.com/@FollowTheMoneyTrail Want to hear bonus shows and listen to Gaslit Nation ad-free?

From a tiny island in Seychelles to the heartland of Ohio, we unpack a wild week in AI. First up: 1X's “Neo” humanoid—$20k to buy or $500/month to rent—promising laundry, dishes, and errands soon…with a lot of teleoperation today. We debate whether tele-ops is a feature (not a bug), who it employs, and how quickly autonomy could follow. Then we zoom out to the money: Nvidia touches a $5T valuation, OpenAI reportedly eyes a $1T IPO, and the industry's circular funding loops raise both eyebrows and opportunity. We also test-drive OpenAI's Atlas browser (a Chromium fork with action-taking ambitions), and dig into Cursor's agentic coding push, new in-house model, and blistering growth—plus the eternal “moat vs. momentum” question. Along the way: a live Neo preorder, enterprise ROI reality checks, and why agents may turn devs into project managers. If you're curious where robotics, chips, and agentic software collide, this one's for you.

Carey Chen is a world-traveled marine artist and lifelong fisherman who turned a passion for blue water into a career—painting billfish from memory and chasing giants with some of the best crews on earth. Born in Los Angeles to Jamaican parents, raised in Jamaica, and later based in Miami, Carey went from motorcycles and video stores to fishing tournaments across the Caribbean, licensing deals, and live painting at world-class events. In this conversation, we get into how a first sailfish on a kite lit the fuse, why sonar is changing offshore fishing (and why he thinks it'll soon be on every boat), what it's like to fish with the Bad Company program, and how a lifetime of travel turned into 3,000+ paintings “stuck in his head.” Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were: The first sailfish on a kite off Miami—and how one fish can change your life From fisherman to painter: leaving retail, painting live, and getting “discovered” at boat shows Fishing the world with Bad Company: Mag Bay marlin numbers that sound impossible until you see them The sonar debate: why new tech doesn't replace skill—but rewards crews who master it Big-fish mindset: chasing granders, tagging programs, and letting the big breeders go Seychelles, Cape Verde, Madeira: what “no-pressure” fisheries really feel like Growing up around legends—boxing promoters, Bob Marley, and the value of giving back through art Timestamps 00:00 Intro & who is Carey Chen 01:35 Jamaica → Miami → first sailfish on a kite 05:10 From fisherman to artist: the boat show breakthrough 10:42 Touring the Caribbean tournaments & live painting 15:28 Bad Company stories: Mag Bay marlin madness 21:40 Sonar, strategy, and the “is it cheating?” debate 28:05 Chasing granders: Africa, Cape Verde, Madeira 34:20 Seychelles & the magic of low-pressure fisheries 40:55 Flats talk: triggers, bumpheads, bonefish, Andros 47:10 Art from memory: anatomy, light, and getting it right 52:25 Business today: licensing, dropship, 3,000+ pieces 57:30 Growing up around champions & giving back 1:02:10 Final thoughts on passion → profession

Élections présidentielles aux Seychelles : scrutin calme malgré un incident de vote et une plainte pour campagne anticipée by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Présidentielle et législatives aux Seychelles : un scrutin serré en cours by TOPFM MAURITIUS

A candid hour on consumer self-defense. We open with iOS 26's unknown-caller screening and a New York Times crime reporter nearly duped by a “Chase Bank” spoof—lesson: don't trust caller ID, don't transact with inbound callers, verify via the number on your card or the bank app, and remember spoofed numbers make simple blocking imperfect. Listeners jump in: a Rule of 55 correction (not 72(t)/72(q)), plus a sharp TSP/Roth asset-location play—keep core market cap in TSP, use Roth for small-value tilt (e.g., AVUV). Then the consumer beat: Florida HVAC sticker shock and why three bids matter. Scam watch flags Smart Lab International's “AI” sports-betting/trading scheme and crypto funding as Ponzi-ish red-flags. We close on the fiduciary fog—why “certified fiduciary” labels can hide annuity sales—and reject structured notes/buffer ETFs in favor of a simple, low-cost balanced portfolio that matches risk to need. 1:07 New iPhone feature screens unknown callers 1:58 Scam calls and “scam du jour” routine 3:05 NYT crime reporter nearly falls for Chase/Zelle spoofing scam 6:23 Why scams work when people let their guard down 7:00 Don't trust caller ID, best practices for bank contacts 8:24 Zelle vs. Venmo debate and practical use cases 9:34 Caller correction on Rule 55 vs. 72Q/72T 10:58 Listener Brian on TSP allocation and AVUV tilt 13:07 Tom's buffer/puffer joke flop 13:44 Advice on blocking spoofed numbers and safer verification 15:00 Segue into consumer issues beyond investing 16:06 History of Florida's heat and AC dependency 16:43 Air conditioning repair and wild $11k vs. $4.7k quotes 19:22 Tom's ongoing heat pump saga 21:10 Bob Cratchit fireplace joke 21:14 Listener Q&A from Nibley, Utah about Smart Lab “AI trading” scheme 24:28 What Smart Lab claims to do (AI sports betting + trading) 26:23 Company origins in Malta, Seychelles, now Ho Chi Minh City 27:57 Ponzi-like structure and risks with crypto-based platforms 29:16 Closing advice: don't nibble on Smart Lab 29:27 Caller John on fiduciary standards and insurance sales 32:28 Exposure of “Certified Financial Fiduciary” designations and insurance sales tactics 34:46 Caller Rajiv on structured notes vs. buffer ETFs 36:02 Simplicity of balanced portfolios over complex gimmicks Learn more about your ad choices.

HELLOOO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCE

The recent advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on states' obligations regarding climate change was celebrated globally for providing clarity on countries' legal obligation to prevent climate harm, but was also appreciated by island nations for its additional certainty on their maritime boundaries remaining intact regardless of sea level rise. This week on Mongabay's podcast, environmental lawyer Angelique Pouponneau, a Seychelles native and lead negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), explains these victories, their legal implications, and how they matter for small island nations. She says Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face a multitude of, “one of which [was] this idea of the shrinking exclusive economic zones.” Exclusive economic zones are the waters that lie within the jurisdiction of a nation, usually 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) from its shore. With the ICJ advisory opinion, there's now legal certainty that this zone will remain within the jurisdiction of a state, even if its shoreline shrinks as a result of rising seas due to climate change. “What island nations were trying to guard against through state practice was essentially if there were ever to be loss of territory, it would not mean loss of exclusive economic zone,” Pouponneau says.

Dans l'océan Indien occidental, c'est une mission scientifique de près de trois mois qui s'est achevée le 2 juillet dernier. Une quinzaine de chercheurs embarqués à bord du navire le Plastic Odyssée ont parcouru les mers entre l'île Maurice, Madagascar, les Seychelles et les Comores. Parmi les études menées, l'une, particulièrement importante pour la santé humaine, porte sur l'étude des bactéries pathogènes présentes sur les plastiques. Notre envoyée spéciale Sarah Tétaud a pu rencontrer Thierry Bouvier, le chef de cette grande mission océanographique. Cette mission, financée par l'Agence française de Développement et le Fonds français pour l'Environnement mondial, et pilotée par la Commission de l'océan Indien et l'IRD/CNRS, avait notamment pour objectif d'échantillonner les plastiques flottants en haute mer et dans les lagons ainsi que ceux échoués sur les plages pour mesurer précisément leur quantité, leur répartition, leur impact sur l'écosystème marin et leur dérive dans cette partie du globe. RFI : Thierry Bouvier, vous êtes actuellement en pleine campagne océanographique à bord du Plastic Odyssée avec toute une équipe de chercheurs. Vous-même êtes chercheur en microbiologie au CNRS et l'IRD pour le laboratoire Marbec. Vous êtes présentement affecté à l'Institut halieutique et des sciences marines à Tuléar à Madagascar. Sur quoi porte votre recherche actuellement ? Nous essayons de travailler sur les risques que présentent les plastiques en mer pour la santé humaine. Alors, il existe un certain nombre de risques, comme par exemple le risque chimique, puisque le plastique est connu pour relarguer les substances qui sont nocives pour notre santé. Mais il y en a d'autres, comme par exemple le risque microbiologique.Ce risque est un petit peu moins connu. Aujourd'hui, il y a plusieurs équipes dans le monde qui commencent à travailler sur son estimation. Et ça consiste en fait à essayer de voir si les micro-organismes qui se développent sur ces plastiques représentent un danger pour notre santé. Pourquoi est-il important de regarder ce risque associé au plastique en mer ? C'est intéressant parce que contrairement par exemple à des particules de bois sur lesquelles les bactéries se développent aussi, en mer, les plastiques, eux, ils ne vont pas se dégrader. Ils vont rester très très longtemps en mer et, en plus, ils vont circuler avec les courants marins. Donc en fait, si ces plastiques sont des véhicules, des sortes de radeaux à bactéries qui seraient dangereuses pour notre santé, ils pourraient les transporter sur de longues distances. Et bien sûr, il y a le risque pour la santé qui est le cœur de la question. Pourquoi ? Parce que ces plastiques, on sait que, et notamment les petits plastiques, sont ingérés par les animaux marins et donc ces bactéries qui se retrouveraient sur ces plastiques intégreraient la chaîne alimentaire jusqu'à la consommation humaine ? Alors, concrètement, comment vous procédez ?  On met en œuvre plusieurs étapes. Évidemment, la première c'est de savoir si ces bactéries potentiellement dangereuses pour notre santé sont présentes sur le plastique. En quelle quantité sont elles-là ? Qui sont-elles ? Et puis aussi est-ce qu'elles ont cette capacité de rester vivantes et donc éventuellement d'être infectieuses. Donc ça, c'est un prérequis en fait à notre estimation du risque, de caractériser ces bactéries potentiellement pathogènes. Alors, il y a déjà des études qui ont montré que les bactéries qui vivent attachées sur des supports, sur des surfaces par exemple, bénéficient d'un environnement qui est un peu plus protecteur par rapport à leur vie libre, par exemple dans l'eau. Et donc on peut faire l'hypothèse que sur les plastiques, ces bactéries qui seraient potentiellement dangereuses pour l'homme, y trouveraient un refuge pour vivre ou survivre plus longtemps dans l'environnement marin. Lorsqu'on connaîtra leur identité, qu'on saura si elles sont vivantes ou mortes, et qu'elles sont potentiellement virulentes, on cherchera aussi à savoir si ces bactéries sont résistantes à certains antibiotiques qu'on utilise pour lutter contre les infections qu'elles peuvent nous provoquer. Sous combien de temps peut-on espérer avoir des résultats de ces expérimentations, de ces observations ? Les expérimentations sont en cours. Ça nécessite un certain nombre d'analyses qui prennent parfois un peu de temps. Mais disons que dans les six prochains mois, on aura déjà une bonne idée de ce qui se passe sur ces plastiques dans la région. Une autre étape, très importante, sera de savoir si ces bactéries qu'on va trouver éventuellement sur ces plastiques sont transférées vers les animaux qui consomment ces plastiques. Thierry Bouvier, votre équipe composée de 15 chercheurs et ingénieurs de toutes les zones océan Indien, à savoir de Madagascar, de la Réunion, Maurice, les Seychelles et la France métropolitaine, avait déjà obtenu certains résultats ? Oui, on a commencé déjà à avoir certains résultats et notamment aussi à travers le travail d'étudiants qui sont en thèse, notamment à Madagascar où on s'aperçoit qu'en fait ces plastiques hébergent certaines bactéries comme par exemple Escherichia Coli qui est bien connue pour provoquer des gastro-entérites ou par exemple aussi Staphylococcus Aureus aussi appelé staphylocoque doré, qui est connu pour créer par exemple des infections de peau. Et on a trouvé qu'en fait, ces bactéries sont à peu près une dizaine de fois plus abondantes sur les plastiques marins que dans l'eau de mer. Et un autre résultat majeur, c'est qu'on s'est aperçu qu'une fois que ces plastiques sont ingérés par exemple, par des poissons ou des holothuries (les concombres de mer), les bactéries se détachent des plastiques et se retrouvent dans la lumière intestinale et sur les parois intestinales de ces animaux. Et donc l'enjeu à venir sera de savoir si ces bactéries qui sont transférées vers les animaux restent dangereuses et infectieuses pour l'homme qui consomme ces animaux. Et on peut espérer avoir ces résultats sous combien de temps ? C'est un programme de recherche qui va durer à peu près trois à quatre années avec comme je disais tout à l'heure des étudiants qui sont en thèse. Et donc leurs résultats seront connus et publiés sous deux à trois ans. À lire aussiPollution plastique: le navire «Plastic Odyssey» fait escale aux Comores

A la Conférence de l'ONU sur l'océan, à Nice, Greening the Islands Foundation a présenté une approche innovante pour accompagner les îles dans leur transition énergétique. Grâce à une méthodologie spécifique, cette organisation à but non lucratif identifie les solutions les plus adaptées à chaque territoire — qu'il s'agisse d'énergie solaire, de géothermie ou de panneaux photovoltaïques flottants.« On aide les îles à évaluer leur potentiel, à identifier les zones propices, et à lancer des projets adaptés à leurs réalités », explique Pierre Martin au micro de notre envoyé spécial à la Conférence sur l'océan, Fabrice Robinet.Greening the Islands Foundation travaille en étroite collaboration avec les gouvernements locaux, souvent sans capacité de financement initiale.De Curaçao aux Tonga, en passant par les Seychelles, la Méditerranée ou bientôt Caracana en Tunisie, l'objectif est clair : créer une dynamique multipartite pour initier des projets concrets dans le cadre de l'Initiative « 100% énergie durable ».  (Interview : Pierre Martin, manager pour le développement et les partenariats à Greening the Islands Foundation ; propos recueillis par Fabrice Robinet, envoyé spécial d'ONU Info à la Conférence sur l'océan)

La protection des mers, c'est l'enjeu de la troisième Conférence de l'ONU sur l'Océan, qui s'ouvre lundi 9 juin à Nice, dans le sud de la France. L'un des sujets majeurs de ce sommet, c'est la pollution des mers par les plastiques. Comme dit Foga Agbetossou, les microplastiques n'ont pas besoin de visas pour arriver sur les côtes africaines. Foga Agbetossou est le responsable pour le Togo de l'ONG SOA, pour Sustainable Ocean Alliance, Alliance pour un océan durable, en français. En ligne de Lomé, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Foga Agbetossou, vu d'Afrique, qu'est-ce que vous attendez de cette troisième Conférence des Nations unies sur l'océan ? Foga Agbetossou : Il faut dire que l'Afrique s'attend à beaucoup de choses, surtout en matière de conservation. Donc, nous attendons à ce que les jeunes Africains puissent avoir plus de poids en matière de discussion sur les questions liées aux océans.Est-ce qu'avec le réchauffement climatique, vous craignez une élévation du niveau de la mer sur les côtes africaines ?Bien sûr, cette élévation du niveau de la mer sur les côtes africaines n'est pas à craindre puisque c'est quelque chose qui se passe déjà. Les côtes les plus vulnérables sur le continent africain sont les côtes qui sont principalement constituées de plages sableuses. Puisque, vous le savez, les plages sableuses ne sont pas très résistantes face à l'avancée de la mer, face au phénomène d'érosion côtière. Donc, dès que les vagues déferlent sur les côtes, ces plages sableuses ne résistent pas aux vagues qui les érodent.Et du côté des mangroves ?Et les mangroves aussi. Comme les mangroves sont partie intégrante des systèmes côtiers, elles sont également menacées et, du coup, elles perdent leurs potentiels de résistance face aux inondations et aux phénomènes d'érosion côtière.Et qu'en est-il pour les îles au large du continent africain, notamment du côté de l'océan Indien ? Oui, ces îles sont également très menacées face au réchauffement climatique, puisque ces îles sont des zones de prédilection de ce que nous appelons les récifs coralliens. Et ces récifs coralliens, figurez-vous, ce sont des organismes qui créent des écosystèmes où d'autres poissons viennent se reproduire et où il y a beaucoup en termes de biodiversité marine. Donc, avec le réchauffement climatique, avec ses corollaires d'élévation du niveau de la mer, d'élévation du taux de CO2 dans la mer, ces récifs coralliens perdent en fait leur efficacité, perdent certaines de leurs activités biologiques et expulsent des organismes qui sont responsables de leur croissance. Donc, une fois qu'ils expulsent ces organismes-là, ils subissent ce qu'on appelle le blanchissement et ils perdent leurs fonctions biologiques. Et du coup, cela constitue un très grand problème, surtout pour ces îles comme Zanzibar, les Seychelles, les Comores et autres, qui sont dans l'océan Indien. Et figurez-vous que même une partie de leur économie en matière de pêche repose sur ces écosystèmes de récifs coralliens.Alors, toujours au chapitre du réchauffement climatique, l'un des sujets de cette conférence de Nice, ce sont les émissions de CO2 provoquées par le transport maritime. Ce secteur est à l'origine de 3 % des émissions mondiales de CO2, soit presque autant que l'avion et presque autant que l'ensemble du continent africain. Qu'attendez-vous d'une telle conférence au sujet du trafic maritime, justement ?Oui. Quand vous parlez des 3 %, on peut peut-être penser que c'est un chiffre infime. Mais les 3 % représentent en fait 1056 millions de tonnes de CO2 qui sont émis par le domaine maritime, les bateaux et tout le reste.Est ce qu'il faut que les bateaux arrêtent d'utiliser du fioul ? Et à ce moment-là, par quoi faut-il le remplacer ? Bien entendu, il faudrait qu'on se tourne vers les nouvelles technologies et remplacer ces carburants par d'autres carburants alternatifs comme l'hydrogène. Les recherches sont en cours et, à Lomé même récemment, il y a un institut, un centre Wascal.org qui est un centre de recherche sur les questions climatiques, qui, avec d'autres partenaires, a mis sur pied un institut de recherche sur l'hydrogène dont des avancées se font déjà sur le continent, principalement au Togo. Mais je crois qu'il faut qu'on se tourne beaucoup plus vers ces carburants alternatifs. Comme je le disais, il y a l'hydrogène. Il y a également des biocarburants marins. Des recherches sont en cours pour voir si on pourrait utiliser les algues et les déchets marins pour fabriquer du carburant pour ces bateaux. Il y a également un domaine qui est en pleine recherche actuellement, qui est l'électrification des ports. Il faut doter les ports des équipements d'énergies renouvelables pour réduire l'empreinte carbone.Donc il faudrait, sur le port de Lomé, des bornesélectriques où les bateaux viendraient recharger leurs batteries ?Exactement.Mais est ce que ce n'est pas quelque chose qui va prendre des années et des années ? Bien sûr que ça prendra des années. Mais tout rêve commence par un pas. Donc si nous ne faisons pas ce pas aujourd'hui, on risque de répéter les mêmes choses après 40 ou 50 ans.Lors de cette conférence, la France va proposer que les armateurs et les transporteurs maritimes payent une taxe carbone pour financer la transition énergétique. Mais beaucoup de pays sont contre. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez ?Oui, la pollution plastique est bel et bien une réalité en Afrique puisque l'Afrique, pour information, produit plus de 17 millions de tonnes de déchets plastiques par an. Mais moins de 10 % de ces plastiques sont recyclés sur le continent et le reste finit, comme vous le savez, dans les rivières, les fleuves et dans les deux océans, l'océan Atlantique et l'océan Indien.L'un des fléaux des mers aujourd'hui, c'est le plastique. Alors vu d'Afrique, est-ce que la pollution plastique est une réalité ou pas ?Oui, la pollution plastique est bel et bien une réalité en Afrique puisque l'Afrique, pour information, a produit plus de 17 millions de tonnes de déchets plastiques par an. Mais moins de 10 % de ces plastiques sont recyclés sur le continent et le reste finit, comme vous le savez, dans les rivières, les fleuves et dans les deux océans, l'océan Atlantique et l'océan Indien.Et le problème, c'est que ces plastiques ne sont pas biodégradables. C'est ça ? Oui, la majeure partie de ces plastiques ne sont pas biodégradable. Une fois qu'ils entrent dans l'environnement marin, ils prennent des décennies, quelquefois même des centaines d'années, à se désintégrer par suite des processus physiques qui se déroulent dans la mer. Et donc, année après année, les plastiques augmentent en pleine mer. Et cela constitue un danger notoire pour les organismes qui vivent dans la mer. Et lorsque ces plastiques arrivent à se désintégrer aussi, ils se désintègrent et deviennent des microplastiques qui sont quelquefois confondus par certaines espèces marines avec des aliments. Ces espèces les ingurgitent. Et tout cela finit sur nos tables lorsque nous consommons de ces espèces.Donc il y a des poissons qu'il ne faut plus manger, c'est ça ? Je ne dirai pas qu'il ne faut plus manger, mais on ne sait pas quel poisson a ingurgité ces microplastiques et lequel n'en a pas pris. Donc, nous nous attendons à ce que des avancées notoires soient faites sur la question de la pollution plastique, puisque c'est une question qui touche non seulement l'Afrique, mais aussi les autres continents. Et le problème également, c'est que les plastiques qui sont rejetés sur d'autres continents n'ont pas besoin de visas avant de venir sur nos côtes. Et donc je crois qu'il faut vraiment développer une solution qui serait globale pour la question du plastique. Et je crois qu'une prochaine session se tiendra à Genève, en Suisse, et je crois qu'ils vont développer un traité mondial sur le plastique, un traité mondial que les États vont ratifier pour que tous ensemble, nous puissions trouver une solution globale pour ce problème global.Oui, mais vous savez bien que cet accord international que tout le monde appelle de ses vœux, les pays producteurs de pétrole n'en veulent pas puisque le plastique est fait à partir du pétrole.Oui, oui. Mais ce n'est pas parce que certains États ont refusé de ratifier le traité que nous allons nous empêcher de faire ce qui est bien. Il faut quand même aller dans la bonne direction et, un de ces jours, nous sommes positifs. Nous croyons que ces États vont céder.Et de ce point de vue, qu'est-ce que fait votre ONG, SOA, Sustainable Ocean Alliance, l'Alliance pour un Océan Durable, contre ce fléau des plastiques ?À SOA Togo, nous nous sommes rendu compte qu'en fait, en Afrique et spécialement au Togo, beaucoup de personnes ne sont pas informées sur les questions relatives aux océans. Et c'est d'ailleurs ce qui a motivé la création de cette organisation au Togo. Et ce que nous faisons, c'est que d'abord nous essayons de rapprocher l'océan des populations. Nous essayons de parler aux populations, nous faisons des tournées dans des écoles pour parler aux jeunes apprenants, pour familiariser les gens sur les questions relatives aux océans. Et pendant ces campagnes de sensibilisation, l'un des sujets principaux que nous débattons, c'est la question du plastique et nous montrons justement aux apprenants les bonnes pratiques à faire pour pouvoir réduire la pollution plastique, sinon l'éviter carrément.Donc votre message, c'est que la mer, ce n'est pas une poubelle.Oui, bien entendu, la mer n'est pas une poubelle, tout comme nos maisons respectives ne sont pas des poubelles. La mer, les fleuves, les rivières, ce sont des écosystèmes, des habitats d'autres organismes. Donc, il faut que nous travaillions à ne pas en faire des poubelles.La préoccupation majeure des professionnels de la mer en Afrique, c'est la surpêche, notamment la pêche industrielle. Que peut faire cette conférence de l'ONU à Nice, en France, pour réguler cette pêche sur les côtes africaines ?Oui, je pense à la convention d'Abidjan et je crois qu'il y a certains éléments qui manquent à la Convention et sur lesquels la Conférence peut également travailler pour régler la question de la surpêche sur le continent. En fait, ce qui se passe sur le terrain, c'est qu'il y a des bateaux, des industriels provenant d'autres pays qui viennent effectuer ces surpêches au large du continent africain et qui violent certains règlements qui sont en cours. Donc, je crois que la Conférence peut travailler à maximiser les efforts pour renforcer les mesures protectives contre cette surpêche.Et vous trouvez que la Convention d'Abidjan n'est pas assez contraignante ? Il y a certains des éléments qu'on pourrait ajouter à cette Convention, tels que la question de la pêche artisanale. Cette question n'a pas été bien traitée dans cette Convention, puisque lorsque ces bateaux industriels font cette surpêche, ils entrent en fait en compétition avec la pêche artisanale et ils menacent la sécurité alimentaire dans nos pays.Un accord a été rédigé qui vise à contrecarrer et éliminer la pêche illégale : 64 % des États côtiers du monde ont signé cet accord, ce qui veut dire qu'il reste 36 % des pays qui ne l'ont pas signé. Ce qui signifie qu'il y a de la résistance, non ? Bien sûr, cette résistance provient principalement de ces pays qui trouvent un intérêt dans la surpêche. Quand je pense à la Chine, vous savez que même la Chine intervient au large de plusieurs pays africains. Au Ghana même, la question est très cruciale. Je ne sais pas si vous avez déjà entendu parler du Saiko Fishing. Donc, ce sont des Chinois qui viennent au large des côtes ghanéennes et qui font leurs activités de façon illicite et qui font même des transbordements. Ils vendent des espèces juvéniles. Ils vont jusqu'aux espèces juvéniles, les vendent aux pêcheurs traditionnels qui reviennent les vendre sur le continent. Donc je crois que, au point où nous sommes arrivés, l'océan constitue beaucoup de potentialités que nous pourrons exploiter pour notre développement. Mais pendant que nous exploitons les ressources de l'océan, il faut penser à les exploiter de façon durable, parce que l'océan entretient la vie sur la terre. L'océan produit près de la moitié de l'oxygène que nous respirons et l'océan a encore beaucoup d'éléments à nous offrir. Et si nous nous précipitons à détruire ces ressources, nous risquons de ne pas avoir accès aux autres ressources que l'océan réserve pour nous. Donc, j'exhorte la population mondiale, j'exhorte les États à prendre des décisions qui iront à l'avantage de l'océan.À lire aussiTogo: la ville d'Aného lutte pour faire face à l'érosion et garder ses plagesÀ lire aussiAvant la conférence onusienne sur l'Océan, des scientifiques publient 10 recommandations pour le préserver
