π Ending August with Ocean Connections! π
We wrapped up the month of August this past Saturday at the Ocean Symposium at the Pacific Islands Club, hosted by FOMT and DCRM, bringing together interested high school students and community members for a day of learning, connection, and inspiration.
The symposium showcased ongoing coastal zone and coral reef management initiatives while introducing students to higher education pathways, career opportunities, internships, and conservation programs available throughout the CNMI. π΄π
As an outreach exhibitor, the CNMI Division of Fish and Wildlife's Aquatic Education Program and the Fisheries Research Section's Fish Tagging Project was excited to share our programs with the next generation of ocean stewards and environmental professionals.
Si Yuβus maβΓ₯seβ and Olomwaay to FOMT and DCRM for hosting this meaningful event and creating a space to connect our youth with the many organizations and opportunities working to protect our islandβs natural resources. ππ
Hereβs to inspiring the next generation to learn, explore, and care for our ocean! π β¨
