AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoFisheries: Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency members will push for a first-of-its-kind bigeye tuna management measure covering purse seine and longline fleets at upcoming talks. The proposal could improve management of a stock responsible for about 40% of global bigeye catches while addressing how fishing rules affect island-country revenue. Seafood Businesses: New research says large seafood companies are focusing more on cutting emissions than adapting to warming oceans, which threaten catches, supply chains and livelihoods across the region. Palau Investment: U.S. and Palau leaders discussed port, dock and runway upgrades aimed at improving transport, economic mobility and medical evacuation. Climate Finance: A US$250 million Green Climate Fund grant, combined with Asian Development Bank financing, will support climate-resilient infrastructure and essential services in 14 Pacific countries, including Micronesia, Palau and the Marshall Islands. Renewable Energy: Sunergise agreed to acquire New Zealand’s Infratec, expanding its capacity to develop and operate utility-scale solar and battery projects across New Zealand and the Pacific. Regional Outlook: The Pacific Community warns that imported-fuel dependence, rising costs, climate risks and tight development funding are putting added pressure on island economies.
