AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoTyphoon Threat: Invest 96W has strengthened into Tropical Depression 29W and could pass near Guam late Saturday or Sunday as a Category 2 typhoon. Forecasters warn of damaging winds, 5 to 8 inches of rain — locally up to 12 — and possible flooding and mudslides. The track and strength remain uncertain, so residents should prepare and follow weather updates. Deep-Sea Mining: Guam’s Coastal Management Program has objected to a federal finding that proposed seabed mineral leases would have no effect on the island’s coastal zone. The planned lease areas cover more than 67 million acres around the Marianas. Island Biosecurity: CNMI rules now require boats arriving from Guam to show brown tree snake inspections for vessels and cargo, aiming to prevent the invasive predator from spreading. Guam conservation groups also rank pest pressure as the island’s top natural-resource concern, with feral swine identified as especially destructive.
