AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Push: CNMI Gov. David Apatang is being urged by regional advocacy groups to formally oppose the federal plan to lease more than 67 million acres of Marianas seafloor for mineral exploration, with a Sept. 7 letter asking him to seek a halt or suspension of the process and to oppose the proposed Dec. 16, 2026 lease sale. Local Legal Challenge: Two CNMI groups, Our Commonwealth 670 and PåganWatch, joined by conservation partners, filed suit in federal court seeking to block the lease sale after NMFS concluded it was unlikely to harm threatened or endangered species. Travel Costs for Guam: The Pentagon raised DOD per diem rates for civilian travel to Guam effective Sept. 1, increasing meals to $111 and incidentals to $27, bringing the total daily rate to $317; the update also applies to CNMI and American Samoa. Maritime Training: DOT’s Maritime Administration named 16 new 2026 Centers of Excellence, including the Western Pacific Maritime Academy in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Public Safety Update: CNMI corrections provided an update on the death of ICE detainee Lian Yong Wei, saying staff found him unresponsive with a ligature and that external reviews are ongoing. Sports: Saipan’s Carol Lee said her US Open main-draw debut showed she can compete at Grand Slam level after pushing Katie Boulter to three sets.
