AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining: Samoan chiefs and two conservation groups have sued to stop the Nov. 19 auction of leases covering more than 31 million acres of seabed near American Samoa. They challenge the federal government’s authority to lease the waters; the sale would grant exploration rights, not immediate permission to mine. Territorial Budget: Governor Pulaali‘i warns cuts to the Special Programs budget could shrink or cancel Flag Day events, including the fautasi races, and the ASG Christmas program. Shipyard Leadership: The governor confirmed he accepted CEO Carlos Sanchez’s resignation and has asked the Shipyard Services Authority board to begin searching for a successor.
