AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Port Disruption Watch: The US Virgin Islands Port Authority says it’s fielding community concerns after Water Spirit Freight Services VI reported it was restricted from docking in San Juan, Puerto Rico—an issue VIPA says is specific to San Juan and outside its control, while the US Coast Guard issued orders May 9 limiting two Togo-flagged vessels after they obstructed a San Juan channel. Opioid Funding: Delaware’s AG says the Purdue Pharma/Sackler settlement is now legally effective, and the state is set to receive $7.4B nationally—part of a broader wave of opioid settlement payouts aimed at treatment, prevention, and recovery. STI Access: A new Safe Access Program is launching to give sexual assault survivors free at-home STI tests (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis), starting with 1,000 tests for partners serving rural and underserved areas, including the USVI. Community & Health Culture: Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Kappa Tau chapter is marking 50 years of service with events May 22–23, highlighting education, health, and social justice. Marine Health Tech: Researchers unveiled an autonomous underwater robot that maps coral reef biodiversity hotspots by combining sound and vision in real time. Military Family Support: Blue Star Museums opens free summer museum access for active-duty service members and families starting May 16.
