PALMYRA 2016
Updated 24 days ago
Today, Palmyra is a national marine monument and the Conservancy and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service are partnering to protect it. Through the Palmyra Atoll Research Consortium, it is also being developed as a center for scientific study. What we can learn at Palmyra-about global climate change, coral reefs, marine restoration and invasive species-promises to inform conservation strategies for island ecosystems throughout the Pacific and around the world.
