AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Seabed Mining Debate: Indigenous leaders across the Pacific are pushing back on deep-sea mining, arguing it threatens fragile ecosystems and raises sovereignty concerns, with New Caledonia’s 50-year commercial seabed mining ban cited as a major Indigenous-backed win. Public Health Alert: A rare marine-bacteria infection (Shewanella) has been linked to a Cook Islands holiday after a New Zealand man developed fever, severe leg pain and a bloodstream infection following raw fish consumption. Drug Smuggling Court Case: A New Zealand visitor jailed in the Cook Islands High Court for smuggling cocaine and cannabis into Rarotonga is a stark reminder that narcotics have no place in the islands. Air Connectivity Boost: Air Tahiti Nui and Air Tahiti have activated a codeshare, letting travellers book one ticket for international flights plus inter-island hops to destinations including Rarotonga. Tourism & Community: Cook Islands Tourism Corporation ran a “Taste of the Cook Islands” pop-up at Punanga Nui Market, spotlighting local food, culture and new vendors. Environment & Waste: A National Action Plan is being developed to tackle plastic pollution under the Pacific Ocean Litter Project, aiming to cut single-use plastics and improve waste systems. Sports Spotlight: Champion paddler Reuben Dearlove won Masters Men 50 at Te Aito 2026 in Tahiti, adding another international title to his va’a record.
