AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoMarine Conservation in São Tomé: São Tomé and Príncipe has officially designated its first two marine protected areas off its coast—Ilhéu das Rolas–Malanza–Jalé (55.8 km², with 8 km² fully protected) and Santana (7.4 km², including a 1 km² no-take zone). The plan is part of a wider network of eight MPAs meant to protect mangroves, nesting beaches, reefs, and key species like marine turtles and seabirds. From Poacher to Protector: A Príncipe sea turtle hunter turned conservation guardian, Manuel “Lindo” Gomes, is now helping defend nesting sites, support marine protected areas, and push coastal communities to protect the turtles he once hunted. Travel & Mobility (Citizenship): A second-passport guide highlights São Tomé and Príncipe as a newer citizenship-by-investment option, with an entry threshold starting around $90,000—positioned for visa-free travel, asset flexibility, and family inclusion. Connectivity for Travelers: A Starlink rollout roundup notes the service is live across much of rural Africa, but still not available in South Africa—useful context for regional trip planning and backup internet options.
