AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoTyphoon Bavi and Guam’s ocean hazards: After striking China’s Zhejiang coast twice late July 11, Typhoon Bavi weakened but still brought strong winds and heavy rain, with authorities evacuating nearly 2 million people; in Guam, the National Weather Service kept a high surf and rip-current advisory for southwest and north-facing reefs as Bavi-generated swells continued to pound the coastline, with rough seas expected to ease by Sunday morning. Ports reopen for recovery: The U.S. Coast Guard reset heavy-weather conditions and reopened Guam’s Port of Guam to 24/7 commercial traffic, while Port of Rota reopened to commercial operations after buoy and channel hazard work—steps meant to get commerce moving while navigation risks remain. Turning storm debris into food: A local gardening guide highlights hügelkultur, using downed logs, branches, and leaves to build raised beds that boost soil organic matter and help communities grow after the storm. Local resilience support: MCCA launched a Solar Generator Loaner Program for mothers on Tinian, aiming to provide clean backup power for essentials like refrigeration, lighting, and communication during outages. Coastal science funding: Congress extended University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant funding through 2026, keeping support for coastal resilience work across Guam and other U.S. territories.
