AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoSeabed Mining: Prutehi Guåhan will host a Nov. 17 film and discussion opposing deep-sea mining, ahead of a Dec. 16 lease sale near the Marianas; the closest area is about 47 miles from Guam. Earthjustice warns a Senate bill could make mining approvals harder to reverse, while NOAA says more than 95% of the Marianas’ ocean floor has now been mapped. Dry Conditions: The dry pattern is expected to persist through the week. Guam has had just 0.40 inches of rain so far this month, and fire danger is moderate; higher surf is also expected from distant Typhoon Cempaka. Reefs and Research: A global assessment warns most reefs face collapse risk, but Guam’s reefs are faring relatively well, with efforts underway to strengthen their genetic diversity. UOG is offering up to $100,000 for research on Pacific sustainability, including reefs, watersheds and coastal resilience. Sustainable Fishing: UOG has launched a program combining fisheries science and traditional knowledge to promote responsible fishing and ocean safety across Micronesia.
