AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoMarine Science & Local Link: A Spanish marine biologist, Jesús Ortea (University of Oviedo), has officially described a new tiny red sea slug, Aldisa vozinhai, named after Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha after his 2026 World Cup heroics; the species was found in Caribbean waters near Havana and also on the island of Guadeloupe, tying the discovery directly to our local marine research. Sports Meets Biodiversity: Multiple reports say Ortea chose the name to reflect Vozinha’s standout performances (including a Spain 0-0 draw) and to honor Cape Verde’s Medal of Environmental Merit award to Ortea in 2023 for marine biodiversity work. Regional Tech & Youth Networks: The Rotaract District 7030 Conference returned to Antigua after more than 20 years, bringing nearly 200 young leaders from across the Caribbean, including Guadeloupe, to focus on leadership and service. Health Watch (Guadeloupe): A France study on perinatal mortality shows Guadeloupe at 21 deaths per 1,000 births—more than double the French mainland figure—highlighting ongoing inequality-driven gaps in maternal and newborn outcomes.
