Sea levels are rising faster in American Samoa than the global average, partly due to land subsidence, or the gradual sinking of land, caused by a 2009 earthquake and tsunami. This combination means higher tides, more powerful waves and a coastline that’s increasingly vulnerable to flooding. A recent study completed by @Hawaii_Sea_Grant used observational data and modeling to show that these rising seas make every wave hit harder, putting coastal roads, homes and infrastructure at greater risk. The earthquake’s effects still impact American Samoa today, with wave energy reaching further inland and the possibility of more frequent floods on the horizon. By better understanding these threats, Sea Grant helps communities prepare for and adapt to changing conditions, building a stronger, safer coast for future generations.

@noaa This year, the conclusion of the marine debris removal season in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument is a big deal. Why? It resulted in the largest amount of marine debris removed from the site in a mission season since NOAA began removal efforts in 1996. Through a partnership with the NOAA Marine Debris Program, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and other partners, a team of 16 from the Papahānaumokuākea Marine Debris Project removed 298,180 pounds of marine debris from the monument during three missions from April to October 2024. The removed marine debris includes 191,860 pounds of derelict fishing nets, 4,600 pounds of abandoned and derelict vessels and 101,720 pounds of plastic and other debris. The team also released four Hawaiian green sea turtles entangled in derelict fishing nets. Find out more about NOAA’s marine debris work at marinedebris.noaa.gov.

Sea Grant celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month! Meet Dr. Jesús Pineda, a Senior Scientist funded by @WHOISeaGrant. Inspired as a child fishing near his grandmother’s ranch in central Mexico, Dr. Pineda focused his career on larval transport and settlement. Read about his current project with @WHOISeaGrant: https://ow.ly/549Z50TG0rs Image of Dr. Jesús Pineda with the text “Dr. Pineda is integral to Sea Grant, with his research receiving support from WHOI Sea Grant, MIT Sea Grant and the American Lobster Initiative. His career is focused on how larvae of different species are transported through the ocean and their fate after they settle. Dr. Pineda was inspired as a child fishing in the river near his grandmother’s ranch in central Mexico. He received higher education in Northern Mexico before venturing to the United States to complete a Ph.D. in Oceanography. ” #HispanicHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritage #SustainableSeafood #Massachusetts #MarineBiology #Research

From net to table! Seafood sold directly from fishers to consumers is often fresher and more sustainable —supporting local businesses and encouraging a connection with our food sources. 🐟 However, many fishers face legal hurdles like complicated permits and licensing. The National Sea Grant Law Center explored legal obstacles, including permitting and licensing requirements, for fishers in 30 coastal states. Read their analyses and recommendations to state policymakers: bit.ly/NSGLC_Direct #SeaGrant #SustainableSeafood #Seafood #Sustainable #Fishers #Consumers #LocalBusiness #Business #Policy #Law Photo of open ocean fish pens.
