AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoVoyaging Culture: The Polynesian Voyaging Society has extended the Moananuiākea Voyage by one year, adjusting the Western Pacific route for Hokule‘a and Hikianalia as El Niño and climate change raise the risk of dangerous weather, including higher chances of typhoons and stormy conditions. Ocean & Climate Outlook: PVS cites NOAA forecasts—97% odds El Niño continues through spring 2027 and an 81% chance it stays very strong this October to December—prompting a longer, safer sailing plan. Route Updates: The canoes will now visit Fiji for international ocean and climate meetings, then return to Aotearoa, the Cook Islands, and French Polynesia, with further stops planned across American Samoa, Samoa, Tonga, and parts of Melanesia and Micronesia before heading toward the Philippines, Taiwan, Okinawa, mainland Japan, South Korea, and Hokkaido in early 2028. Lifestyle Spotlight (Local Link): A travel feature highlights luxury at Marlon Brando’s Tetiaroa, spotlighting Polynesian spa rituals, lagoon life, and environmental stewardship—an easy read for culture-minded visitors looking at French Polynesia through a lifestyle lens.
