Policy Issues

# The Ocean and Polar Affairs

The ocean covers 70 percent of the earth and provides immense opportunity to utilize its vast resources responsibly. The United States works to efficiently and effectively develop and manage these resources with neighboring countries and the international community to preserve their health and wealth for many generations to come. 

The United States has been an Arctic nation with important interests in the region since the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. The changes today in the Arctic — economic, social, and environmental — transcend national borders, opening new opportunities and making international cooperation critical for the Arctic’s continued sustainable development. The United States also has strong interests in Antarctica, in particular to promote its status as a continent reserved for peace, cooperation, and science.

Director, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center U.S. Geological Survey 600 4th Street South St. Petersburg, FL 33701 (727) 502–8000http://coastal.er.usgs.gov

Scientists from the United States Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, and students from the University of Hawaii at Manoa collected sediment cores, sediment surface grab samples, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) data from within the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge–Holgate Unit located on the southern end of Long Beach Island, New Jersey, in April 2015 (FAN 2015-611-FA). The study’s objective was to identify washover deposits in the stratigraphic record to aid in understanding barrier island evolution. This report is an archive of GPR and DGPS data collected from Long Beach Island in 2015. Data products, including raw GPR and processed DGPS data, elevation corrected GPR profiles, and accompanying Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata can be downloaded from the Data Downloads page.

- Parker, Assistant U nited S tates Attorney , OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY , Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Jessie Scriven appeals from the district court’s o rder denying reconsideration of the
court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release. On appeal, we confine our
review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Scriven’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey , 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brie f is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequatel y presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

# 									IRFBA Statement on Chinese Religious Prisoner of Conscience, Wang Yi							

Other Release

October 20, 2023

As Chair of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance, I raise the imprisonment of Pastor Wang Yi, a Christian pastor detained in Jintang Prison, China.

In a closed trial in December 2019, with no access to a lawyer, Pastor Wang was sentenced to nine years in prison for “inciting subversion of state power” and “illegal business activity.” Pastor Wang formerly led Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu. At the time of his arrest, the church had hundreds of worshippers.

The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has assessed that his detention is arbitrary.

Pastor Wang has not been given permission to speak to his family by phone or receive visits from them in the past two years. He has only been allowed to see his wife once since his initial arrest. It is unacceptable that the Chinese government is denying him regular in-person visits and communication with his family, including phone calls, and that he has not been allowed a Bible, notebook or pen.

I condemn the crackdown on Early Rain Covenant Church, Pastor Wang’s unjust imprisonment.  I call for his immediate release.

Unfortunately, Pastor Wang is just one of many arbitrarily detained by China for practicing their faith, including many Christians. I call on the Chinese government to cease its repression of independent churches and its persecution of Christians, and to bring its laws and policies on freedom of religion or belief in line with international standards and China’s own Constitution.
