AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoMaritime Safety: Life Flight (Fiji) Trust is urging seafarers, operators, and government to expand emergency locator beacons (EPIRBs/PLBs) to cut search times and improve survival odds after incidents like six medical professionals surviving nearly 38 hours adrift in Lau waters, noting Tuvalu and Kiribati have seen faster, more successful rescues with wider beacon use. Disaster Preparedness: Tuvalu hosted Australian Defence Force Exercise Longreach (July 13–15) with Tuvalu health and disaster agencies to strengthen coordination for cyclones and drought-related emergencies, improving readiness across key stakeholders. Health & Environment Link: Pacific waste and pollution efforts under SWAP2 are progressing, with Tuvalu included among nine countries working on better waste infrastructure and marine-litter tracking to reduce health risks from pollution. Tuvalu in the News: A Tuvalu Police Force boarding operation highlighted illegal fishing in Tuvalu waters, including spoofed AIS signals and expired authorization, underscoring the need for safer, well-enforced maritime systems that protect community health and food resources.
