AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Coastal Health Watch: Researchers at the College of Charleston and MUSC say the “flesh-eating” bacterium Vibrio vulnificus has been confirmed in Charleston Harbor using DNA testing, with doctors warning it can escalate from a minor blister to life-threatening illness in hours—especially for people with weakened immune systems. Public Health Update: The CDC reports the Cyclospora outbreak linked to contaminated iceberg lettuce is easing, but officials warn underreporting may hide the true scale, with thousands sick nationwide. Cyber & Emergency Readiness: The South Carolina National Guard’s 125th Cyber Protection Battalion was validated during Cyber Fortress 26, a major domestic cyber-incident exercise that also included civilian and government partners. AI Safety in Industry: Guident extended a 36-month AI safety and remote monitoring deal with Coastal Waste & Recycling, expanding use of its WatchBot autonomous inspection robot across operations in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Local Tech & Privacy: Flock AI license-plate cameras are expanding in Aiken County, with the sheriff’s office confirming 14 already operating and 26 expected by September, as residents continue to raise surveillance concerns. Climate & Agriculture: Clemson experts warn climate change is shifting peach bloom earlier and increasing freeze risk, heat stress, and pest vulnerability across South Carolina and Georgia. STEM in Schools: Greenville County Schools removed its decade-old “grading floor,” meaning students’ scores now reflect the grade earned rather than a minimum threshold. Ports Leadership: SC Ports named Patrick McCrory as chief operating officer starting Oct. 5, overseeing container terminals and inland logistics operations.
