Royal Navy offshore patrol ship HMS Spey joined navies, coast guards and police in the southwest Pacific on a concerted effort to protect local fishing stocks.

Over ten days Spey took part in Operation Island Chief, one of four concerted efforts every year focusing on detecting, reporting, apprehending and deterring illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.

Illegal fishing is estimated to cost the Pacific Island nations more than US $150m (£127m) every year in lost revenue.

What is ValuesDAO and why should you pay attention to it?

ValuesDAO is partly a fork of OlympusDAO but with a few twists of its own thrown in, including the offer of NFT Reserving for the metaverse space.

Values is the Metaverse Reserve Protocol on the Polygon Network and is based on the $VALUES token. Each $VALUES token is backed by a basket of assets in the Values Treasury (giving it an intrinsic value that it cannot fall below), which currently includes the MAI stablecoin and in the future, USDC, FRAX & other stablecoins. Values Protocol will also offer the possibility to use NFT tokens to back the Treasury’s liquidity.
