AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Regional Self-Determination: Critics say the Pacific Islands Forum’s decision to admit Israel as a development partner undermines its founding commitment to decolonisation; American Samoa remains on the UN list of territories awaiting self-determination. Seabed Mining: Federal officials have finalized terms for a Nov. 19 auction of more than 31 million acres of ocean floor near American Samoa. Manu‘a chiefs and two conservation groups have sued to block the sale, arguing the government lacks authority to lease the seabed. Fishing and Conservation: Congressional candidates were asked how they would protect local fishers and the tuna industry while addressing rules for fishing near Rose Atoll.
