Coastal Recovery Funding: Guam Coastal Management Program is asking for renewed community support after a proposed federal budget would eliminate coastal zone management grants nationwide, even as the Marianas recover from Super Typhoons Sinlaku and Bavi. Storm Impacts & Resilience: Super Typhoon Bavi’s “gargantuan” size and eyewall replacement cycle drove record Guam rainfall and extreme winds, while Rota’s power restoration and water recovery continue and the Coast Guard has reopened Rota and Tinian ports to commercial traffic. Wildlife Conservation: Guam kingfishers (sihek), extinct in the wild, are breeding at the Smithsonian’s Front Royal facility as part of a long-running effort to reestablish the species. Regional Weather Watch: NWS says Invest 97W poses no threat to Guam, but it’s still shaping monsoon winds, gusty conditions, and rough surf. Deep-Sea Mining: Delegations meet at the International Seabed Authority as Guam and CNMI oppose deep-sea mining and push for a moratorium. Local Food Security After Disasters: A letter urges Guam and CNMI to seek Emergency SNAP for households hit by power outages after two typhoons. Military Footprint & Environment: RIMPAC and Valiant Shield ramp up across the Pacific, while peace groups call for opposing missile tests and large exercises. Community Relief: Shut Up & Fish Guam delivered over 2,000 pounds of storm aid to Rota, including fuel, water, butane, and chainsaws.
