AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Ocean Research & Conservation: Two FIU graduate students, Gina Clementi and Sophia Hemsi, received 2026 Guy Harvey and Florida Sea Grant Fellowships to study shark behavior and how recreational fishing affects sharks around fish spawning areas—work that could inform better marine stewardship. Olympic Surf & Local Commitment: French Polynesia President Édouard Fritch signed an agreement confirming the territory’s participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay, tied to Teahupo’o’s planned surfing venue and ongoing assurances about local preparations. Voyaging Culture & Ocean Day: The Polynesian Voyaging Society, with CEO Nainoa Thompson, joined World Oceans Day events in Tahiti, with Brotherson naming Thompson the first international ambassador of Tainui Ātea to spotlight ocean stewardship and cultural education. Tahiti’s Growing Tourism Reach: Tahiti Tourisme is ramping up in Australia with trade events and new direct flight plans, aiming to broaden visitors beyond honeymoon travel and boost repeat visits. Fashion Meets the Sea (and French Polynesia ties): Louis Vuitton’s Pharrell Williams staged a surf-drenched Paris runway with a real wave and linked its sustainability messaging to coral reef restoration in French Polynesia via Coral Gardeners—sparking both hype and backlash online. History in the Spotlight: June 29 marked Tahiti’s 1880 cession to France, a turning point that deepened French presence in the Pacific.
