AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Maritime Security Upgrade: PNG’s National Fisheries Authority has rolled out a new surveillance push to stop illegal fishing, pairing regional command centres with a fresh coastal radar network—because seeing boats on a screen isn’t enough without the ability to intercept. Ocean Protection Push: Leaders have signed on to the Melanesian Ocean Corridor of Reserves, with PNG flagging a huge “no-take” Western Manus Marine Protected Area to safeguard sharks, manta rays, turtles, dolphins and more. Community-Led Conservation: The Nature Conservancy is using the summit to back community-driven conservation, and a new mangrove educational boardwalk and resource centre near Port Moresby is set to open in July. Digital ID & Connectivity: Tech vendors at ID4Africa urged PNG-style public-private partnerships and decentralized digital ID models, while NICTA’s new CEO says reforms are underway and Starlink’s PNG office is due within 12 months. Education Tech: The Teaching Service Commission has launched a corporate plan, development plan and new website to modernize teacher administration after decades of manual records.
