The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant announced this month the recipients of the 2024-2026 UOG Sea Grant Competitive Research Funding. The grants support research projects addressing critical challenges facing Micronesia’s coastal ecosystems, communities, and economies.
The University of Guam Sea Grant program continues to make progress in protecting and understanding Guam’s endangered sea turtle population. Since 2018, Sea Grant entered into a Cooperative Agreement with NAVFAC Marianas to monitor nesting beaches on Andersen AFB. This collaboration has added years of meaningful research and conservation efforts, while remaining dedicated to preserving the native species of the Marianas, the Green and Hawksbill Sea Turtles.
The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant is continuing its Guihan for Guahan project, a collaborative effort with local fishers to monitor the health of Guam’s reefs. Launched in February 2023, the project collects long-term data on fish catches to assess reef diversity and overall health. By working closely with fishers, researchers gather information on fish size, species and abundance.
The University of Guam hosted students from across Micronesia who showcased their research findings at a Science Café held at the Guam Green Growth Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub.
