Claim: Glorioso Islands is a territory of Comoros (Glorioso Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2011-01-01): Threats - The Comoros is one of the least developed countries in the region, and population growth is leading to rapid increases in direct pressures on the sea for resources, principally food, and in land-based impacts such as pollution and sedimentation. Mayotte has a higher standard of living as its is a region of France, however higher consumption levels, land-based development and greater motorization of fisheries result in even greater threats to the marine environment. Fishing on the isolated banks (Geyser, Glorieuses) is a growing threat as depletion of fish on the main islands occurs, and increased nearshore management of fisheries pushes illegal fishers farther offshore. The islands are also in the center of highly active zone of oil and gas exploration driven by the neighbouring countries, so is highly vulnerable to impacts over which it has no control. The eastern parts of the Comoros and Mayotte lie in an apparently warmer zone in the northern Mozambique channel, raising the risk of thermal stress and coral bleaching. The primary threat to coelecanths is renewed and increasing deep benthic fisheries, due to the need to feed the growing island populations.

Claim: Aves Island is a territory of Dominica (Aves Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2011-04-22): Consider Aves Island, a speck of sand in the central Caribbean, 1,230 feet (375 meters) by 160 feet (50 meters), that supports a few scrubby bushes. That, at any rate, is the current extent of the island; storm surges occasionally submerge the entire islet, changing its size and rearranging its topography.

In 2005, a group of eastern Caribbean countries denounced the Venezuelan claim to the waters around Aves.

Evidence (2023-05-20): history of Dominica, survey of the notable events and people in the history of Dominica. A small island country of the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea, Dominica is known for its natural beauty, particularly its rainforests and mountainous terrain. The country gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1978 but remains a member of the Commonwealth. Dominica’s capital, Roseau, is on the country’s southwestern coast and is its main port. [...] At first administered as part of the Leeward Islands, in 1771 Dominica was made a separate colony. It was rejoined administratively to the Leewards in 1883 and remained thus until 1940, when it was transferred to the Windward Islands as a separate colony. In 1958 Dominica joined the West Indies Federation. After that organization was dissolved in 1962, discussions for alternative forms of federation took place. Those issues were settled when the British government passed the West Indies Act of 1967, which gave Dominica the status of association with the United Kingdom. Under the 1967 constitution the island became fully self-governing in internal affairs.
