" ... Faced with that harsh economic reality, Germany jumped at the chance to build a direct pipeline in the Baltic Sea with Russian cooperation, thereby bypassing Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltic States. Germany’s thinking was that this partnership with Russia would lower its own energy costs, but would also deny those countries the transshipment fees that have long made up a substantial part of their economies (which is 3% of Ukraine’s economy alone). Both Germany and Russia believed that this plan would increase the demand for Russian natural gas, which otherwise would have limited access to many global markets and is typically drilled with few environmental safeguards in the Arctic. ...

" ... Los Zetas’ growing presence in Central America, as well as the region’s increased importance as a drug transshipment route more broadly, have severely degraded the security environment. The greatest problems are in northern Central America, which, according to official statistics, is now the most violent sub-region in the world. Honduras in 2012 had a murder rate of 85 per 100,000 inhabitants, more than twice its rate of 35 in 2005. In Belize, the homicide rate in 2012 was 44 versus 29 in 2005 – a 52% increase. By comparison, the murder rate in the US in 2012 was 4.8 per 100,000. ... "
" ... So how can one protect an animal that is distributed worldwide? With the help of international organizations that carry out data collection, scientific monitoring, and management regarding oceanic resources, like sharks. Silky shark management actually falls under the purview of four of the five existing tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs). In 2011 one of these RFMOs, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT), prohibited the fishing, retention, and transshipment of silky sharks by all fisheries operating under its jurisdiction. Silky sharks are protected under Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an agreement that fights against this shark’s overexploitation in international trade. Listed in Appendix II, all trade of these sharks requires permits certifying they were legally caught, catch is sustainable, and traceable through the supply chain. ... "
" ... Therefore, the more important question for New York will be whether the pandemic and the riots force a change in Governor Cuomo’s policy regarding gas pipelines. To date, he has refused to allow them even to cross the state, to convey gas extracted from other locations, like Pennsylvania. Given current budgetary realities, that policy no longer may be sustainable – either economically or politically. If there is slippage in Governor Cuomo’s hard line position, it would benefit everybody. New York would earn transshipment fees and get construction jobs, gas would move more efficiently and environmentally soundly via pipelines than on trucks, and areas like heavily populated downstate New York and New England would get ensured a steady and abundant energy supply as they try to recover. ...

" ... This has come at the expense of the Netherlands, which was the top source until surpassed by Mexico in 1999. The European transshipment hub still accounted for more than 30% of the market until 2006. Today, its market share has shrunk to half that, to 14.06%. ... "
