AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Lawsuit: Fa‘asao Amerika Samoa and the Conservation Council for Hawai‘i, backed by Earthjustice, sued the U.S. government to stop the first deep-sea mining lease sale off American Samoa, arguing NOAA Fisheries unlawfully found mining “is not likely to adversely affect” endangered species under the Endangered Species Act and asking a judge to halt the Nov. 19 plan. Local Faith & Community Pushback: The American Samoa Democratic Party praised Catholic and Episcopal leaders for urging caution and opposing industrial exploitation of the moana, framing the ocean as culture, food, and livelihood—not an inventory. NOAA Mapping Missions: NOAA said it will run two deepwater expeditions around American Samoa this summer and fall to map and characterize deep seafloor areas for critical mineral exploration, with publicly available data and streamed ROV operations. Aviation & Logistics Update: Samoa Airways’ damaged Twin Otter (5W-FAY) recovery at Fitiuta is complete, with the aircraft dismantled after engineers ruled out repair and flight back. STEM Opportunity: A North Greene High School teacher was selected for Society for Science’s 2026–27 Advocate Program, receiving a $5,000 stipend to expand student research and science competition access.
