Typhoon & Ocean Research Disruption: Super Typhoon Dolphin shoved the Ocean Exploration Trust’s research vessel Nautilus more than 1,000 miles off its planned survey route, pushing the expedition out of Guam/CNMI waters and into the FSM—highlighting how extreme weather can derail deep-sea mapping and habitat understanding. Local Education & Public Health: Tiyan High School and Simon Sanchez High School were shut down days after classes resumed after a Public Health inspection found major sanitation, ventilation, temperature, lighting, restroom, and related deficiencies tied to complaints including sewage backups and termite issues. Community Trail Planning: The Guam Visitors Bureau held a Humåtak town hall on the Sella Bay Overlook Trail project, focusing on safer access and erosion concerns while stressing the plan is still in concept and must protect the area’s natural and cultural character.
