AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Push: The U.S. Interior Department’s Marine Minerals Administration is moving ahead with plans to auction about 33 million acres of seabed off American Samoa for critical minerals, with a Nov. 19 auction and minimum bids of $3 million, as the governor gets 60 days to comment before a final notice later in October. Local and Regional Backlash: The proposal is expected to face strong criticism over possible harm to fragile Pacific marine life, with more than 43 countries calling for a moratorium or ban and environmental groups warning about impacts from mining activity. Federal Process Details: BOEM says the leasing notice is part of a first-of-its-kind U.S. seabed lease sale, and opponents argue the timeline conflicts with tens of thousands of public comments submitted against the plan. Travel Note for Visitors: A reminder that the National Park of American Samoa requires proof of U.S. citizenship or nationality—passport or certified birth certificate—for entry.
