Ways to Get Involved
The remote location and isolation of the Mariana Arc of Fire National Wildlife Refuge make it inaccessible to conduct on-site visits for educational or interpretative purposes. Thus, most educational and interpretative opportunities are necessarily delivered remotely through publications, off-site educational programs, displays, or other media, to inform and educate the public regarding the coral reef ecosystem and related marine resources and species of the monument and efforts to conserve them. For more information on these programs in Saipan, contact Park Ranger Jihan Younis at (670) 234-7207 ext. 4001.
Our Partners
Nature does not recognize human-made boundaries. In order to conserve our natural and cultural resources effectively, we must work with others to bridge these boundaries. Partnerships foster creative solutions to challenging situations and often the results are greater than the sum of the parts.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration work with the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands government, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of State, and U.S. Coast Guard. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also values its partnership with Mariana Trench Monument Advisory Council.
