From ancient fishing traditions and modern marine science to a fish kelaguen competition, the second annual Fish Fest —organized by the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant —returned this month, continuing its mission to promote sustainable fishing and food security.

The Guam Green Growth (G3) Guam Restoration of Watersheds (GROW) Corps, facilitated by the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant, has been named to 50 States, 50 Breakthroughs, a national showcase highlighting transformative public service initiatives across the United States and its territories. 

The University of Guam (UOG) has announced an extension of the 17th University of Guam Conference on Island Sustainability (CIS2026), expanding the event through April 26 with the addition of two days of programming in Saipan, further strengthening its partnership with Northern Marianas College (NMC).

The 17 University of Guam students who attended the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) National Diversity in STEM (NDiSTEM) Conference received formal recognition from the Guam Legislature for representing the island at the national event.   The students participated in the conference as members of the Guam NSF EPSCoR, SEAS Islands Alliance and Navigating Home programs at UOG.
