CNMI Ocean Month

 

Tides of Stewardship

2024

As a community deeply connected to our lands and seas, it is our commitment to ensure that our precious natural resources are conserved, protected, and effectively managed for generations to come. It is through ecosystem-based management, effective conservation, and fostering environmental stewardship that we are able to protect, and in many cases, restore and enhance, our resources.

In the CNMI, the ocean serves as more than just a source of sustenance and recreation, but provides a number of other valuable services to support sustainable livelihoods, coastline protection, and tourism opportunities. As such, DCRM celebrates this invaluable resource during the month of June, alongside the rest of the world.

Please see the 2024 CNMI Ocean Month calendar of events below. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CNMI Ocean Month Chair, Colleen Flores, at cflores@dcrm.gov.mp or (670) 664-8300.
