Last update: 9 hours agoWildlife & Public Safety: Bermuda’s search for a reported Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake in Southampton continues after an intensive six-hour sweep failed to find the animal, even as officials say the sighting photo appears genuine; antivenom has been sourced and is available at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, and residents are urged to keep distance, not approach or capture the snake, and call 911. Marine Conservation: A new opinion piece backs Bermuda’s Ocean Prosperity Programme and the High Seas Treaty, arguing ocean protection can be an innovation and resilience strategy for Bermuda’s blue economy, food security, and education.

Local Governance & Climate Resilience: Bermuda’s Prime Minister is set to attend the 51st CARICOM Heads meeting, with climate resilience and sustainable development on the agenda, including support for regional climate finance and food systems. Waste & Environment (Regional): A UK report highlights how recycling and food-caddy rollouts can go wrong when collections lag, leading to smelly, fly- and maggot-filled bins—an indirect caution for any island waste programme.
