AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoMaritime Crisis in the Region: Trinidad and Tobago has sent air and naval support to help Guyana’s rescue and recovery after the MV Barima capsized, with a C-26 aircraft and a Damen vessel carrying dive teams and 27 crew (including seven divers) joining the search. French Guiana Link to the Search: Guyana is also receiving help from French Guiana, which has dispatched 12 specialist divers, two medics, and a mechanic as hopes remain high for survivors. Missing Fishing Crew Appeal: Separate from the ferry disaster, families are urging a stronger regional search for the ST VINCENT VII, a six-man crew missing after a fire left the vessel without power or communication near the Suriname–French Guiana area. New Connectivity for French Guiana: EllaLink and ASN say the Lum@link submarine cable is on track for service by end of 2026, with the CS Île d’Yeu set to sail to Cayenne to begin installation—France Guiana’s first direct optical link to continental Europe. Wildlife Debate: A harpy eagle attack on a tourist in French Guiana is reigniting discussion about rare human–wildlife encounters and what they mean for conservation.
