Our team in California is gearing up for another visit to our Ulithian collaborators like Chief Ike of Asor in Ulithi and his community. We’re going to listen, and hear more about the scientific studies they would like done on their islands and reefs so they can be better informed when making resource management decisions. We’ll also be wrapping up some studies, continuing our reef monitoring surveys, and starting some new projects too! More info on those to come! 🤙#micronesia#Ulithi #conservation#science

One of several Montipora survey teams from the Ulithi Youth Action Program this summer. 💪 The students first learn about the study, train using the field methods, then go out and collect real data to be analyzed! 📈 In the process, they learn more about the reef, marine science, new skills, and get to form friendships between with other students from different backgrounds and cultures. 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬

And that is a wrap for the 2019 Ulithi Youth Action Program! 💙 2 weeks full of highlights from camping ⛺ on Geilop 🏝️ to observe turtles nesting 🐢, exploring the pristine reef of Yaelil 🤯✨, talking trash 🚮 (surveys) with @oceandebrismanagement, coral surveys 💪, as well as scratching the tip of the coconut palm learning about the incredibly deep and practical traditional knowledge of our outer islander ancestors. Oh, and let’s not forget our friendships made and our lifelong connections to the Ulithian and Woleaian communities. It’s not good bye, it’s fatoot ngaligich! 💚 #onepeopleonereef #micronesia #micronesiaconservation
Another highlight from our summer – One People One Reef hosted a community screening of Island Soldier Movie on Falalop, Ulithi. We watched Nathan Fitch’s moving documentary outside the church, underneath the stars, during our 2019 Youth Project. The film is especially relevant to Ulithian youth, for whom US military service can be an attractive opportunity, which they must weigh against leaving the atoll for study opportunities, or remaining and living a more traditional lifestyle.
