☆ Marshall Islands urges U.S. to better address climate change and its nuclear legacy

UNITED NATIONS — The president of the Marshall Islands on Tuesday welcomed what he called progress toward a new association agreement with the United States, but said it is vital to better address the legacy of U.S. nuclear testing and climate change. President David Kabua made the remarks at the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he also appealed more broadly for help and action to address climate change, to which his low-lying Pacific island nation is especially vulnerable. The Marshall Islands and other Pacific island states, the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau, signed agreements known as compacts with the United States in the late 1980s that give the U.S. defense responsibility and the right to military bases in return for economic support. “While we have shared goals and a strong partnership with the United States of America, we also have grave development challenges and essential needs,” Kabua said. “We welcome recent progress with the United States of America towards a renewed Compact of Free Association and with it a targeted trust fund,” he said.

☆ Sperm whale ‘clans’ in the Pacific mark out their culture with songs

No one knows what all the sperm whale codas mean, but they can have distinctive rhythms and tempos, known as “dialects,” Hersh said. They’ve now determined that there are at least seven distinct sperm whale “vocal clans” across the Pacific Ocean, each with their own identity codas, Hersh said. And the sperm whale clans may be thousands of years old. Beguš is part of Project CETI — the Cetacean Translation Initiative — which was established last year to decipher the sounds of sperm whales. “As the authors note, we still understand little about the function of sperm whale codas,” she said in an email.

☆ See inside Diego Garcia, a secretive US Navy base on British land at the center of a bitter tug-of-war in the Indian Ocean

In 1966, the UK leased the US the remote, 17-square-mile Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia is now a key US military base, and it is used as a launchpad for the Air Force. The future of the base is uncertain after the UN ruled the UK should return it to evicted islanders. A 2019 ruling from the UN's highest court said Diego Garcia and the islands around it were illegally taken by Britain and should be returned to the islanders who were evicted. In November 2022, officials from the UK and Mauritius, which claims sovereignty over the territory, began negotiations over the future of Diego Garcia in a bid to resolve "outstanding issues."
