Description:"A 2-day workshop was held in Garapan, Saipan, to gain insight from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and Guam researchers and managers on marine research needs within the Marianas Archipelago for consideration as NOAA Fisheries develops its science and management plans. More than 30 individuals representing a broad spectrum of organizations attended. Following a series of presentations, participants identified key research topics that could be implemented in the next 3 to 5 years. NOAA Fisheries will incorporate this information into a Mariana Archipelago marine research action plan. This report summarizes the outcomes of the 2-day workshop. Common themes include the need to conduct broad-scale studies of life history and connectivity to understand regional biodiversity; develop ways to conduct long-term monitoring; develop collaborative Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping products that include habitat types, human uses, species distributions, and other data; and to improve systems for storing and sharing information. Many topics highlighted the need to collect a broader array of data at an enhanced frequency in the Islands Unit Overall; an emphasis was placed on collaborative research activities and building capacity within the Marianas Archipelago, particularly through engagement with fishermen. Underlying notes were to examine and incorporate underutilized and volunteer data sources and to ensure that collected data are analyzed and shared"--Introduction.
