From June 23 – July 9, 2026, environmental officers in Pohnpei earned their scuba certifications through a specialized dive training course — gaining the skills to conduct underwater ecological surveys, track coral reef health, and monitor our coastal resources.
A partnership between DECEM and the Pohnpei State Government, funded under the FSM PROPER Project. Next stop: Chuuk and Kosrae.

The FSM PROPER Project convened its mid-year Project Progress and Planning Meeting on July 10–11, 2025, at the FSM Central Facilities in Palikir.
