AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoSolar Eclipse Watch (Iceland): Iceland’s eclipse forecasts have improved a bit, with meteorologists seeing a chance of breaks in cloud cover—especially in the evening—while the south and west look brighter than the north and northeast; the Westfjords (including Flateyri) are highlighted as among the better bets along the path. Space Science & Safety: NASA and others are urging proper eclipse glasses and warning against direct viewing; the Aug. 12 event will also be a rare chance to see the sun’s corona during totality in Greenland and Iceland. Perseid Meteor Shower: The Perseids peak around Wednesday night into Thursday morning, with NASA estimating up to 50–100 meteors per hour in ideal conditions, and the best viewing timing coming after totality. Wildlife Stewardship Debate: A new argument in the biodiversity space says local communities should be treated as legitimate stewards of their own wildlife, pushing back on top-down bans—even when conservation goals are well meant. Marine Pollution: India’s “ghost” fishing gear problem is again in focus, with lost nets continuing to trap marine life long after they’re abandoned, and calls for better tracking and retrieval systems.
