AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

CNMI Deep-Sea Mining: Gov. David Apatang says he won’t ask the U.S. Interior Department to pause the Northern Mariana Islands deep-sea mining lease sale before the Oct. 19 deadline, pointing instead to formal public comments and ongoing lawsuits. Pacific Wetlands Funding: The U.S. EPA awarded $3.46M for wetland projects across the Pacific Southwest, including $467,075 for Hawai‘i to expand community stewardship and improve water quality and flood protection. Reef Resilience in Palau: Scientists in Palau are raising heat-tolerant corals to restore reefs that have largely avoided mass bleaching, turning the island nation into a “living laboratory” for warmer-sea survival. Mosquito-Borne Disease Alert: Florida reported its first confirmed dengue fever death of 2026, highlighting how mosquito-borne illnesses can escalate quickly. Weather & Climate Services: Pacific ministers backed stronger weather, climate and early warning systems, with a push to expand multi-hazard alerts and improve forecasts reaching communities. CNMI Education Wins: CNMI Public School System students earned AP Scholar and AP Capstone honors, with dozens recognized for strong college-level exam performance. Fisheries Access Talks: NOAA and the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council discussed fishing-community priorities and potential quota flexibility, including opportunities tied to CNMI tuna management.
