Last update: 6 hours ago

Whaling Push Faces Backlash: Eleven local environmental groups have urged Prime Minister Gaston Browne to drop support for lifting the global commercial whaling ban ahead of the International Whaling Commission meeting in September, citing a survey showing 64% of residents oppose whaling and many were unaware of the government’s position. Storm Watch: Tropical Storm Dolly formed in the Atlantic days after singer Dolly Parton’s death, with forecasters expecting weakening near the Leeward Islands but warning of heavy rain and possible reorganization. Renewables for Power Bills: Nevis Electricity Company says it’s exploring a 10-megawatt solar farm as a quick fix while waiting for geothermal, amid fuel-surcharge increases. Energy Transition in Antigua: APUA is planning a 55-megawatt renewable project, with officials stressing solar must come with battery storage and grid upgrades. Ocean Monitoring Protected: Antigua and Barbuda’s Met Service recovered a missing Sofar ocean-monitoring buoy in Barbuda and is asking the public to treat the buoys as national assets and not tamper with them. CHOGM Spotlight: King Charles III and Queen Camilla will visit Antigua and Barbuda for CHOGM 2026 in early November, with the tour also including the Bahamas and Guyana. Health Capacity Boost: PAHO/WHO ran simulation-based critical care training for severe infections for health professionals across the Eastern Caribbean, including Antigua and Barbuda. SIDS Investment Drive: Antigua and Barbuda helped launch an Island Investment Forum in the Maldives to attract investment and support sustainable development for small island states.
