AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Deep-Sea Mining Showdown: U.S. House Rules blocked Delegate James Moylan’s bid to keep Marianas and Guam seabed mining off the FAST-41 fast-track, while a federal regulator tied to the accelerated timeline is set to leave—raising fresh concerns about pace, oversight, and who gets a real say. Tourism & Accessibility Upgrades: The Marianas Visitors Authority broke ground on the Marpi Tourist Sites Improvement Project, with safety, ADA-compliant access, and restroom upgrades planned for Bird Island Lookout, Suicide Cliff, and Last Command Post. Community Remembrance: Gov. David Apatang launched September’s “We Will Never Forget Community Heroes Month” and the Field of Heroes ceremony marking 25 years since Sept. 11. Youth Online Safety: Attorney Edward Manibusan announced a major multistate Meta settlement requiring new Instagram/Facebook child-safety limits—time caps, nighttime blocks, and school-time restrictions—relevant to CNMI families. Immigration Custody Scrutiny: A Chinese national died less than a day after ICE custody in Saipan; China is demanding answers, as questions persist about detainee medical screening and disclosure timing. Local Business Support: CNMI Innovation Incubator opened applications for its second cohort, backing early-stage startups across food, agriculture, arts, tech, hospitality, and more. Culture & Heritage: CNMI schools and education leaders proclaimed September Chamorro and Carolinian Cultural Heritage Month. Sports: CNMI’s Leigh-Out highlights off-island competition and local momentum, including a major Labor Day softball tournament and Carol Lee’s U.S. Open debut.
