Website intended for use by agricultural extension agents in the Marshall Islands. The website is also a "dashboard" insofar as it automatically updates displays of weather and climate information at least monthly, drawing from the "Marshall Islands Climate Outlook" (blue website) and National Weather Service ENSO Alert System. Multiple tabs lead to pages encompassing short, medium and long-term weather and climate information, and agroforestry recommendations varying by ENSO status. Extension summaries with text, figures and photos. Prepared in English with some translation into Marshallese. Specifically, best management practices (with specific recommendations), and case studies (to share information and experience...

Palau’s Jellyfish Lake, locally known as Ongeim’l Tketau (OTM), is an iconic tourism site and an important area of biodiversity. This landlocked marine lake is part of the Rock Island Southern Lagoon UNESCO World Heritage Site, representing an expression of Palauan national pride, and has brought in millions of dollars to the local Koror State economy. OTM is also home to the unique Golden jellyfish, Mastigias papua etpisoni, a subspecies found nowhere else in the world. Populations of the Golden jellyfish within OTM have fluctuated extensively over past decades, with numbers sometimes hovering around a high of 30 million to periods of total population collapse that can last for multiple years. Scientific monitoring...
This study aims to clarify the extent to which Marshallese people are already migrating because of climate change, and the role affected ecosystem services play in their migration decisions. The research also aims to better understand the effects of this migration on migrants themselves, among communities in the RMI (in the capital of Majuro, and on Mejit and Maleolap), and in destination states (Hawai‘i, Oregon, and Washington). Finally, the research provides an analysis of shared views found within Marshallese perceptions on these subjects, which allows for a more fulsome assessment of the current state of well-being for Marshallese migrants, contributes to a more informed discussion regarding whether migration...
