AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoFisheries: Tuvalu’s Fisheries Authority is seeking a giant-clam hatchery specialist to improve operations and develop procedures. The country is also working with regional officials to help fish exporters meet international safety and quality standards. Climate: A Commonwealth report says sea levels around Tuvalu are rising about 5mm a year, faster than the global average, and the entire population lives within a kilometre of the ocean. But research on Funafuti’s reef found it remained remarkably stable over 120 years, with storm-driven coral rubble helping raise the island ridge. Cost of Living: Tuvalu is set to receive US$11.94 million in ADB assistance to cushion higher fuel costs, maintain affordable electricity and support about 6,000 people from low-income households. Regional Links: Tuvalu has taken over the chair of the Central Pacific Shipping Commission and will host its next annual meeting. Sport: National footballer Jason Alama will train with Dutch club VVV-Venlo for two weeks, a rare opportunity to represent Tuvalu in European football. Education: Governor-General Temukisa Auina Penehuro Hauma has become the University of the South Pacific’s 34th Chancellor.
