AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Fight: American Samoan community leaders and Greenpeace USA protested NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer in Pago Pago Harbor, warning that mapping deep-sea minerals could feed a federal push for seabed mining lease sales near the territory despite local opposition. Congress & Permitting: Guam Delegate James Moylan’s bid to block seabed mining from FAST-41 expedited review failed in the House Rules Committee, even with American Samoa Rep. Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen backing the amendment. Pacific Security: Pacific leaders at the PIF urged transparency after China’s missile test reportedly passed over islands without adequate warning, calling for advance notification. Tech & Youth Safety: AG Gwen Tauiliili-Langkilde announced American Samoa will receive $1.1M from Meta’s $17.1B multistate settlement, with new limits on teen Instagram/Facebook use and added safety features. Local Food Costs: The Basic Food Index rose 0.2% in August; taro and bananas climbed while chicken, turkey tail, eggs, and sugar fell. Workforce Policy: A new Senate bill proposes a one-time 90-day Critical Guest Worker Amnesty Program for out-of-status foreign nationals to work for StarKist Samoa and other “critical” employers. STEM for Youth: The Foeoletini Foundation wrapped up its PITA Jr. Summer Bootcamp, a three-week STEAM program aimed at ages 10–12 to build early interest in tech and engineering. IUU Fishing: The U.S. announced a Pacific IUU fishing project to counter illegal fishing, including support for compliance and enforcement efforts tied to regional waters.
