• shared basic organizational financial management (i.e financial statements, external/internal financial reporting processes, unallowable/allowable costs, fix assets, recording, documentation, filing, etc.) and financial tools/templates with Chuuk Women’s Council (CWC), Island PRIDE, and Oneisomw Resource Management Committee (ORMC).
• conducted training on QuickBooks with CWC’s newly hired Finance Officer Ms. Nelinda Robert. • worked with CWC on the expectations and requirements of their new project titled Oneisomw Climate Change Adaptation Agroforest Garden. • conducted monitoring on the coral reef monitoring project that CWC and Chuuk Department of Marine Resources are currently implementing. We thank our local partners from Chuuk for all the great work that you do. Kinisou Chapur. The workshop brought together participants from Pohnpei, Yap, Chuuk and Guam as the final outcome of a project working in fishing communities in these jurisdictions.
The teams are designing messaging, graphics and communications materials to promote and communicate issues such as over fishing, climate change impacts on fisheries and species bans/size for catch. The project was supported by funding from Saltonstall-Kennedy grant by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through MCT. Thank you to the U.S Embassy for bringing their "Tuna Diplomacy" students to visit MCT. What a thrill to spend time with such bright students of the FSM. We wish them nothing but the best on their adventure to the mainland and look forward to seeing them again in the near future. Thank you Future Conservation Leaders!
