HI everyone!
As promised, here’s the link to my letter to the editor on deep-sea mining in the CNMI and Guam published in Marianas Variety:
Let’s make our voices heard before Jan. 12, 2026.
The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is asking for public input on potential deep-sea mining in our waters. This is our chance to speak up before decisions are made that could impact our environment, economy, and future generations.
Resources to help you engage:
• Audio overview – listen and learn on the go:
• Colorful infographics — Easy to read and share with others:

Coming soon: Where I stand on deep-sea mining. A closer look at PL 119-21 — the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The deadline to submit your comment to BOEM: Jan. 12, 2026
Let’s raise awareness. Let’s protect our islands. Let’s speak up.
Together, we can make a difference.
