AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Deep-Sea Minerals Dealmaking: Deep Sea Minerals has signed an MOU with Impossible Metals to test its autonomous, riserless robotic nodule collection system in Deep Sea Minerals’ prospective licence areas, with cooperation spanning test mining, environmental monitoring and pilot production planning. US–Cook Islands Critical Minerals Push: New US ambassador Jared Novelly says securing Cook Islands seabed critical minerals is a top priority, positioning the Cooks as a key alternative to China-dominated supply chains while stopping short of promising new exploration licences. Harbour Infrastructure Oversight: The National Environment Service has released the Avarua Harbour dredging EIA for public review until July 26, covering dredging for the wharf berthing/mooring area and boat ramp to restore safe access. Fisheries Monitoring: The Cook Islands renewed its MoU with the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency to keep aerial surveillance operating in its EEZ to help detect and deter IUU fishing. Governance & Accountability: A forensic report into USP student association finances alleges misconduct and governance failures totalling $172,667.91 in losses, with police investigation recommended. Regional Security Tensions: China’s nuclear-capable missile test in the Pacific drew criticism from Australia’s Penny Wong as the region’s defence alliances expand.
