ADAPTATION FOR LOW ISLANDS AND ATOLLS
Agroforestry in the Climate of the Marshall Islands
This agroforestry tool provides Marshallese agricultural producers with information and resources to help adapt growing practices to changing climate conditions.
Sea Level Forecasts
Short term sea level predictions are important to near-term planning for communities throughout the Pacific. This tool provides forecasts of monthly sea-level anomalies out to six months.
