Small infestations persist as situation remains calm
FAO Desert Locust Information Service
From the FAO: "An increasing number of small infestations of solitarious adults have been found in northwest and northern Mauritania. Localized breeding is in progress in one place in the northwest near Nouadhibou and Western Sahara. Locust numbers are likely to increase slightly in these areas during the coming weeks if breeding occurs. Isolated adults are present in southwest Libya and near Lake Nasser in Egypt. In the winter breeding areas along the Red Sea coast, only scattered adults are present in the Tokar Delta of Sudan and along the coast to Suakin. Scattered adults are also present on the coast in northwest Somalia. No significant developments are likely during March."
