Volunteer Monitoring

As part of the Pacific Community, PMRI wishes to encourage everyone to participate in the management of our marine resources. A critical part of understanding an environment is having access to a long term data. Volunteers have an important part to play in gathering data about changes in the marine environment that can then be translated into management actions.

Adopt-a-Coral

Interacting with the environment is a powerful tool for learning. Using our coral reefs, you and your students can take a closer look at how our local environment changes over the school year.

Educational Resources

Pacific Gray Literature Library

This project is a PMRI initiative to create a comprehensive web-accessible database of Pacific marine resource literature. This project is an continuation of the Marianas Marine Resource Bibliography (307kb PDF file) originally compiled for the CNMI Coastal Resources Management Office. This purpose of this electronic library is twofold:
1) Make gray literature easy(er) to find and access.
2) Create a centralized location for gray literature storage. 

Science Project Guide

Its getting close to the time for this year's science fair. We've put together a project guide that you can hand out to your students to help them get organized.
