  • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the Island of Saipan, CNMI
    Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment For the Island of Saipan, CNMI January 2014 Saipan Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment | i About This Document The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the island of Saipan is the product of a year-long collaboration between the CNMI Division of Coastal Resources Management and the participating agencies and organizations of the CNMI Climate Change Working Group. Ongoing support for the Vulnerability Assessment and Climate Change Working Group was provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and contributions to the assessment stem from a wide range of federal and CNMI government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups. Additional technical resources, tools, and expertise were leveraged from organizations throughout the Insular Pacific and beyond. The cumulative result of this diverse input is a project that meshes a community-based assessment and local knowledge with technical analysis and inquiry. This document presents the Vulnerability Assessment by highlighting its findings, as well as the process and information used to arrive at conclusions and recommendations. It is as much a framework for a mixed-methods assessment process as it is community narrative and practical study. Document Usage and Limitations This document is intended as an initial screening tool for prioritization of climate adaptation work on the island of Saipan. Usage of the Vulnerability Assessment should be limited to broad planning and policy purposes. Analysis of specific resources and geographic areas was conducted under potential future scenarios, which introduces inherent uncertainties and complicates field verification. As such, the findings, recommendations, and data within this document are not appropriate for application to site-specific engineering or other projects involving alterations to the physical landscape.

Saipan, Tinian and Rota experienced very heavy rainfall and extremely high winds which caused damages to homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. Utility infrastructure on all three islands has been visibly severely impacted to include downed power lines, transformers and poles. Driving conditions remain hazardous as debris removal operations are still underway. At the request of Governor Ralph DLG. Torres, representatives from FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) and the US Small Business Administration (SBA) joined the CNMI on an Aerial Preliminary Damage Assessment of Saipan, Tinian and Rota. Findings are as follows: SAIPAN: 317 Major; 462 Destroyed (T=779) Villages covered: Kagman 1, 2 & 3 and LauLau, Susupe, Chalan Kanoa, San Antonio, Koblerville, Dandan and San Vicente Power outage across the island 2-mile-long gas lines observed Extensive damage to critical infrastructure in southern Saipan Downed power poles and lines Page 1 of 8 Page printed at fema.gov/ja/press-release/20201016/super-typhoon-yutu-relief-recovery-update-4-post-declaration- 09/28/2021 damage TINIAN: 113 Major; 70 Destroyed (T=183) Villages covered: San Jose & House of Taga, Carolinas, Marpo Valley and Marpo Heights Power outage across the island; estimated to take 3 months to achieve 50% restoration Tinian Health Center sustained extensive damage Observed a downed communications tower ROTA: 38 Major; 13 Destroyed (T=51) Villages covered: Songsong Village and Sinapalo Power outage across the island Sustained the least amount of damage as compared to Saipan and Tinian Red Cross CNMI-wide assessments begin Tuesday, October 30, 2018.

  • Land Molluscs from the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia
    Nat. Hist. Res., Special Issue, No. I: I I 3-119. March 1994. Land Molluscs from the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia Taiji Kurozumi Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba 955-2 Aoba-cho, Chuo-ku, Chiba 260, Japan Abstract More than twenty-four species of land molluscs, belonging to 13 families and 20 genera were collected from the 9 islands of the northern Mariana Islands, and 22 species are recorded for the first time from the islands. Six introduced species were recognized, including Achatina fulica and its predators, Euglandina rosea and Gonaxis kibweziensis. Almost all of the genera are widely distributed on Micronesian islands. Only one species, Ptychalaea sp., may show dispersal from the northern area to the northern Marianas. Key words: Land molluscs, Ptychalaea, Achatina fulica, northern Mariana Islands. The northern Mariana Islands are located in survey routes (see Asakura et al., 1994). Land the western Pacific between 16°22' and snails were collected from litter layers, tree 20°32 'N.

  • Coral Reef Status Report for the Northern Mariana Islands
    1 Coral reef condition: 20 8 A status report for the FAIR NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS Coral reefs are important Healthy coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth, with high cultural and economic significance. Located in the western Pacific basin, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is made up of 14 islands extending over 600 kilometers. Coral reefs are important to the people of CNMI because they provide traditional and subsistence uses, production of commercial food products, recreational opportunities for a healthy tourist economy, and physical protection from storms. Culture and Food The indigenous ethnic groups of the Marianas, the Chamorro and Carolinian, are closely tied to the natural environment. Surveys indicate that about 96% of residents who go fishing, do so to feed their families. Ancient Chamorros and Carolinians were expert fishermen with inherent knowledge of harvesting reef fish species such as tàtaga (unicornfish), mafute’ (emperor), and palakse’ (parrotfish). Traditional fishing methods such as Trianni Mike spearfishing and talaya (throw-net) help preserve the cultural identity of the islands. The connection between coral reefs and society is integral as the reefs provide habitat for most species as well as numerous ecosystem services, including protection of culturally significant areas along the CNMI coastlines. Surveys of CNMI residents indicate that 91% of respondents agree that coral reefs are important to their culture (NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science 2018). Alexandra Fries Alexandra Tourism The economic importance of the CNMI coral reef ecosystem is significant. In addition to providing food, shelter, and cultural significance for the citizens of CNMI, the coral reefs generate revenue from tourists and recreational users that are attracted to the beauty of the coral and its inhabitants.
