  • 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.

  • Northern Mariana Islands
    Suggested Itinerary: Northern Mariana Islands A U.S. commonwealth, the Northern Mariana Islands are a string of 15 volcanic and limestone islands in the Pacific Ocean just north of Guam. They’re known for their rich culture, natural beauty, crystal-clear water, shopping and dining. Kick off your tour in Saipan, the chain’s largest and most adventure-packed island. From there, venture out to explore World War II historic sites and underwater gems in this island paradise. Saipan Suggested: 3 days You’ll slip into relaxation mode as soon as you arrive in Saipan. Don’t fight it – just head to the beach. Good news: all of Saipan’s beaches, even those connected to a resort, are considered public land and are open to all. Before swimming, take note of daily tides. Mañagaha Beach, a quick ferry ride from Saipan, is a lush oasis of white sand, swaying palms and clear blue water. Another popular area for swimming and lounging is Micro Beach in Garapan village. To get a true sense of island life, plan to browse the Garapan Street Market, filled with food stalls, small vendors and live music. Serious shoppers will want to indulge in duty-free shopping at the high-end DFS Galleria Saipan. The island hosts many vibrant festivals throughout the year, including the Marianas Cup Beach Volleyball Festival in February; April’s San Vicente Fiesta Saipan – a carnival celebrating the island’s patron saint; and the Liberation Day Festival, a week-long event in July with music, games and local food vendors commemorating the U.S.
