AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Lawsuit: Faʻasao Amerika Samoa and Hawaii’s Conservation Council, backed by Earthjustice, sued the U.S. over the Trump administration’s plan to lease more than 31 million acres of seabed off American Samoa, arguing NOAA Fisheries’ “not likely to adversely affect” finding for endangered species was unlawful and lacked proper review. Local Impact on Ocean Policy: The case challenges the Nov. 19 lease sale and asks a federal judge in Hawaii to halt the process and require compliance with the Endangered Species Act. Faith Leaders Add Pressure: The American Samoa Democratic Party praised Catholic and Episcopal Pacific leaders for their joint stance urging caution and protection of the Pacific Ocean from industrial exploitation. Health Update (Regional): Hawaii reported a new travel-related dengue case on Oʻahu, bringing the state total to seven in 2026, with officials urging residents to eliminate standing water—especially after Tropical Cyclone Lala flooding. Airport Operations: PAAS said Fitiuta’s runway reopened after an incident, while the aircraft remains secured pending a National Transportation Safety Board investigation.
