Jan 28th
Project Leader, Nicole Crane, is January’s special speaker at the UC Santa Cruz Science on Tap series.
It is at 7 pm Jan 28 at the Crepe Place in Santa Cruz, California.More information can be found at the UC Santa Cruz Science on Tap website: https://sites.google.com/site/
Nicole Crane will discuss her team’s unique approach to supporting ocean management in one of the most bio-diverse coral reef systems in the world-–the outer islands of Yap State, Federated States of Micronesia. They are working closely with outer islanders to better understand traditional management and fishing, and using that knowledge to inform ecological data collection efforts. What is learned from the reefs is integrated with what is learned from the people to better understand the problems, and help frame solutions. Ultimately the management planning is up to the people of the outer islands – the science team helps inform them, and can assess the management impacts. Nicole will discuss the culture and traditions of the Outer Islanders, and present the results of the research they have been conducting there. This unique Project has sparked a movement across the outer islands for people to take action for cultural and ecological stability. Visit their website at onepeopleonereef.ucsc.edu
Project Leader, Nicole Crane will be giving a seminar at Moss Landing Marine Labs. It is open to all. More details will follow!
One People One Reef will be presenting at two conferences in the Bay area this spring:
Feb 12th in San Jose at the Citizen Science Association meetings, in association with AAAS. here is a link:
March 29th in Oakland at the 2015 George Wright Society Conference on Parks, Protected Areas, and Cultural Sites

Nicole Crane at Cafe Scientifique!
Nicole was invited to speak on March 11, 2014 at SRI International’s renown Cafe Scientifique. In her talk: “Forgotten Reefs, Forgotten People: How Conservation in Micronesia May Be Key to Sustainable Oceans” she discussed how we are empowering communities to sustainably manage their reef ecosystems.
It is a journey through a history of why fisheries declined, why management was forgotten, and how the communities themselves are reviving them. Starting with fishing practices, the team reaches into the very fabric that holds (and brings) these communities together and from which their cultural foundations were built.

Saving Paradise: October 2013
Our project was featured as the cover article October 2013’s Good Times (a Santa Cruz based weekly newspaper).
The article was called “Saving Paradise” and the full text can be found here.
One People, One Reef: Summer Outer Islands Workshop
Interest for our project is growing among the Outer Islanders and these remote communities have asked for our help. We are planning a sustainable ocean management workshop that would bring together representatives from across the outer islands to help develop management plans and share knowledge about reef ecology and fish life histories. We need funds to be able to move the project forward. We want to take advantage of the momentum in the region. In order to attain our goals we have started a crowd-funding campaign. Please help us make a difference!
