  • Northern Marianas
    Northern Marianas Overview: The Marianas is an archipelago made up by the summits of 15 volcanic mountains in the north-western Pacific Ocean. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is in political union with the United States. Territory: Includes 14 islands, including Saipan, Rota, and Tinian which are inhabited; and Farallon de Pajaros, Maug Islands, Pagan Island, Guguan, Agrihan Island, Sarigan Island, Anatahan Island, Asuncion Island and Farallon de Medinilla which are currently uninhabited due to volcanic activity. The southern islands are limestone with level terraces and fringing coral reefs; the northern islands are volcanic. Land: 477 sq km; Water: 0 sq km; Total: 477 sq km; Coast line: 1,482 km; Highest point: unnamed location on Agrihan 965 m. Location: Oceania, islands in the North Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. Latitude and Longitude: 15 1' 2" N, 145 4' 5" E. Time Zone: GMT +10 Total Land Area: 477 EEZ: 200 Climate: tropical marine; moderated by northeast trade winds, little seasonal temperature variation; dry season December to June, rainy season July to October. Natural Resources: arable land, fish. All the islands except Farallon de Medinilla and Urracas or Mangs (in the northern group) are more or less densely wooded, and the vegetation is luxuriant, much resembling that of the Carolines, and also of the Philippines, whence many species of plants have been introduced. Owing to the humidity of the soil cryptogams are numerous, as also most kinds of grasses. Agriculture is neglected, in spite of the exceptional advantages offered by the climate and soil.

  • Agricultural Experiment Station
    AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION 1991 ANNUAL REPORT College of Agriculture & Life Sciences University of Guam ,, In 1991, two horticulturists were recruited to con­ duct research on vegetable and fruit crops. Having experimental farms at four different locations in Guam facilitated carrying out the field experiments. Plans have been made to set up automated weather stations in the experimental farms. Major research activities were focused on alley cropping, fertilization, automated irri­ gation system, varietal trials of vegetables, stress physi­ ology of fruit crops, turf management and orchid pro­ duction, crop protection, local feeds for chicken, and marketing. Collaborative research programs with regional and international institutes were continued. A monthly workshop for science teachers was organized to in­ crease the interaction between school teachers, recruit­ ment of students for agriculture and exposure of re­ search programs to the public.

  • 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.

  • COCONUT CRAB (Birgus Latro) SURVEYS on PAGAN, COMMONWEALTH of the NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS
    COCONUT CRAB (Birgus latro) SURVEYS ON PAGAN, COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS Prepared by: Scott Vogt Wildlife Biologist U.S. Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Far East Command Yokosuka, Japan December 2010 INTRODUCTION The coconut or robber crab (Birgus latro) has a wide distribution ranging from Eastern Africa, through the Indian Ocean islands to the Pacific Ocean islands (Fletcher and Amos, 1994). Due to its large size, ease of collection and palatable flesh, the coconut crab is often over-harvested when it occurs in the vicinity of human habitation. The Mariana Islands are no exception and this species is heavily harvested as a cultural resource. Surveys on Guam (USFWS, 2001), Saipan (Kessler, 2006) and Tinian (U.S. Navy, 2008) have documented over-harvested populations. Coconut crabs are a type of hermit crab; however they abandon the necessity of residing in a discarded snail shell at a small size and go through life with no added protection other than their own carapace. They are the largest land dwelling invertebrate in the world and can reach a weight in excess of 5kg. Coconut crabs breed on land but the female releases the eggs in the ocean where they immediately hatch. The oceanic larval stage lasts 2-3 weeks (Fletcher and Amos, 1994). Once on land the growth rate is slow and it is estimated to take 8-10 years to reach the CNMI legal size limit of 3 inches (76mm) across the back (Brown and Fielder, 1991). On the southern islands (Rota, Saipan Tinian and Aguiguan), the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands – Division of Fish & Wildlife has established a legal crab hunting season from September 15 - November 15.
