Last update: 12 hours ago

Marine Policy Shock: Trump signed a proclamation reopening parts of three Pacific marine national monuments to U.S. commercial fishing, including Rose Atoll near American Samoa, triggering backlash from conservationists and legal action threats. Local Fisheries Science: The Western Pacific Fishery Council’s Scientific & Statistical Committee endorsed the 2026 American Samoa Bottomfish Stock Assessment Update and urged better length-based tools for Pacific Island fisheries. Deep-Sea Mining Watch: Multiple reports flag that U.S. deep-sea mining rules may be outdated and too light on oversight as lease activity is set to move forward, with American Samoa slated for an August first sale. Regulatory Process Update: American Samoa streamlined its Land Use Permit application process via the Project Notification Review System, aiming to prevent unauthorized development before work begins. Coastal & Infrastructure Tech: The Aunu’u Wharf Reconstruction Project is advancing through NEPA Environmental Assessment work, with construction planned to start in late 2027. STEM Opportunity: An American Samoa student was selected as a seafloor mapping & hydrography intern with Ocean Exploration Trust’s Nautilus expedition. Disaster Monitoring: After a powerful Philippines earthquake, tsunami monitoring advisories included American Samoa, though New Zealand reported no threat.
