AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoSeabed Mining: NOAA says more than 95% of the Marianas’ ocean territory has now been mapped, data it calls timely as federal officials prepare a Dec. 16 mineral lease sale near the CNMI, about 47 miles from Guam. Chamorro advocates have formally challenged the government’s finding that the proposed areas would not affect historic properties; a court ruling on a similar American Samoa sale could also shape the Marianas plan. Sustainable Fisheries: UOG and Reef Pursuit International launched a year-round program pairing fisheries science with traditional knowledge, ocean safety and responsible fishing. Kevin Rivera is the first fisheries education fellow. Island Research: UOG’s Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant is offering up to $100,000 for two-year projects on issues including coral reefs, watershed restoration, aquaculture and coastal resilience. Applications are open to researchers across Micronesia.
