Palau buildings (from PALARIS) with elevation data (extracted from USGS DEM)
Streams delineated to model potential annual sediment transport and yield. Only areas with high flow accumulation values were included to model streams that are likely permanent.
To examine Palau residents’ reliance on reef fish, we reviewed published peer-reviewed literature, non-governmental organizations’ surveys, and unpublished data from a survey conducted by this project’s team. Volume of reef fish caught, consumed, and bartered at periurban, urban, and rural states was compared to the area of reefs within state waters to calculate fishing pressure. Data on fish residential consumption was triangulated and synthesized across data sources, including PIs Oleson and Lewis’ unpublished data from a resident survey conducted in 2018, an SPC dataset of fisher households conducted in 2018, and peer-reviewed literature.

Points where surface water collects and enters coastal waters
Coastal resources, critical to economic and socio-cultural resilience across Pacific Islands, are threatened by management institutions that are not designed to account for land-sea connectivity. To ensure sustainable use, management institutions must consider the multiple values and complex processes of coastal resources in their decision making, including land and ocean interactions. This storymap examines how ridge-to-reef governance can enhance coastal food security in a changing climate.
The people of the Republic of Palau rely on coasts for food, culture, and their economy. Stressors from land use change, sea-level rise, and warming oceans could threaten the food and livelihood security of many Palauans. Moreover, potential unintended consequences of conservation policies could increase pressures on already heavily exploited reef systems. Specifically, the recently implemented Palau National Marine Sanctuary (PNMS) closed 80% of Palau’s Exclusive Economic Zone to fishing. As offshore fish become more scarce in the domestic market, managers worry about increased harvesting pressure on already overfished nearshore resources. Adaptively managing stressors in an integrated way can cost-effectively...
These spatial data layers form the bases for the Governance Vulnerability Analysis which is incorporated into the project's Story Map which integrates resident consumption, spatial and climate vulnerability, and governance analysis, with research findings discussed at the end.
