Traveling through Alaska as part of the National Science Foundation-funded Energy Leadership Accelerator (ELA) fellowship through the UOG Center for Island Sustainability & Sea Grant, I found myself out in the Alaskan wilderness—cold, caffeinated, yet running on fumes.
At the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability & Sea Grant (UOG CIS & Sea Grant), we define sustainability as the balance between meeting current needs and safeguarding the resources of future generations. Established in 2009, UOG CIS & Sea Grant is the region’s lead institution for supporting the transition toward a sustainable, self-reliant, and prosperous island community.
Since our founding, UOG CIS & Sea Grant has evolved into the region’s focal point for sustainability research and community outreach. We collaborate closely with government agencies, NGOs, and community groups to address critical island needs across four key pillars: Environment, Economy, Society, and Education.
With an expanding portfolio of implementation projects and strong community partnerships, UOG CIS & Sea Grant is moving the region toward a sustainable tomorrow. Our work is defined by action. Through transformative programs like Guam Green Growth, the SEAS Islands Alliance, and Navigating Home, we are turning sustainability plans into on-the-ground reality.

Over 130 Guam residents have graduated from the Guam Green Growth (G3) Conservation Corps in hopes of pursuing green careers or continuing their education in sustainability-related fields, underscoring the program’s impact in developing Guam’s sustainability workforce.
The graduates of the 2026 Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps piled into a room at the UOG School of Business and Public Administration on their final day, knowing only one thing: they were going to a Green Job Fair.
My name is Kira Reklai. As a Navigating Home Fellow, I had the unexpectedly fun experience of joining the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Ambassador Program (STEMAP). This program helps STEM professionals connect with the community through different engagement activities.
