Micronesia’s island shorelines are threatened by multiple stressors including climate change impacts such as rising seas and changing storm patterns; as well as local disturbances like dredging, construction and mangroves overharvesting. There is a pressing need to increase the long-term resilience and adaptive capacity of Micronesia’s mangrove resources. This project intends to create an island-wide mangrove adaptation and management plan based on the compilation and application of multiple ongoing efforts connected to mangrove conservation in Pohnpei. The two main objectives are to: (1) Develop a consensus-based island-wide mangrove adaptation and management plan. The outcome of this objective is the adoption...
The Pacific Island Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) Climate Change Adaptation Video Series are a series of video created in close coordination with the PICCC profiling case studies of climate change adaptation as conducted by conservationists in Hawaiʻi. The videos are necessary in order to help educate, inform, and inspire the general public, peers, and potential conservation managers. The goals and objectives of the videos are to be engaging, exciting, and candid.
The objective of this project is to identify areas where herbivore management interventions would be the most effective in promoting coral reef recovery and resiliency following the recent coral bleaching. When a bleaching event occurs, as Hawaii experienced in 2014 and 2015, the results can be regime shifts or reef decline. Decline can be permanent or temporary, depending on its resilience. There is an urgent need to develop a process to increase the resiliency of Hawaii’s coral reefs through certain characteristics, including herbivory. Herbivory maintains open spaces, promotes remnant corals to recover, and allows new coral to settle in disturbed areas. We will operationalize this concept by 1) integrating Marxan...
The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) initiated the Hawaiian Islands Terrestrial Adaptation Initiative (HITAI) in FY2015 to ensure that the main Hawaiian Islands have plans and systems in place by 2019 to address expected impacts to island ecosystems, heritage sites and structures, and communities from climate change and other local environment changes. There are a number of conservation group stakeholders implicated in the development of the HITAI, and the fundamental purpose of the project presented here is to ensure that these conservation organizations are best equipped to work together efficiently and productively to carry out the HITAI. Because the stakes are high and the organizations varied...
Pacific Island Agroforesty Adaptation Initiative (PIAAI), a partnership between the Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) and College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (CTAHR-UHM), currently focused on the Territories of Guam and American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Climate change will be felt throughout the Pacific Islands through the visible impacts and intangible effects on diet and cultural heritage. The Pacific Islands Agroforestry Adaptation Initiative is intended to develop climate science literacy within the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) of the Pacific Island Land Grant Institutes in order to identify and promote...
