Extractions: CRISIS IN CHUUK MAY IMPACT NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS By Ulysses Torres Sabuco SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (June 14, 2002 Marianas Variety)-Some local officials believe that Chuuks financial crisis could result in an increase in the number of Micronesians settling in the CNMI, but Lt. Gov. Diego T. Benavente says the situation in the FSM state is not yet a "total threat." Benavente said he expects Federated States of Micronesia President Leo A. Falcam and Chuuk Gov. Ansito Walter to work together and address the states problems. A newly released interim report disclosed that Chuuk is "technically insolvent" and has a total debt of $25.7 million. A "complete financial failure" may recur similar to what had happened in 1995-1996, the report said. Senate President Paul A. Manglona, R-Rota, expects Chuuks current condition to "hurt" the CNMI economy. "It will surely have an effect on us. But we just do not know to what extent," he said. The situation in Chuuk may result in an increase in the unemployment rate there, he said. Further, Chuuk might restrict public health and public education services to its citizens, who would then migrate to the CNMI or Guam, Manglona said.

Critical steps for successful implementation of the plan include the identification of fresh water sources, an assessment of volcanic hazards, and a survey of native and invasive species on the island. We proposed to evaluate the sustainability of island resources and assess the hazard from future volcanic eruptions. This work would demonstrate a commitment to Department of the Interior goals and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) government in its resettlement efforts and also show a constructive response to the request for assistance.

Extractions: The Hawaiian Islands, along with the Galapagos archipelago and other oceanic islands, have had a global importance in the history of evolutionary biology and are continuing to serve as crucial sites for evolutionary studies. The animals and plants of these islands are an important part of Hawaii's, America's, and of the world's natural heritage and comprise an extremely valuable natural resource. They provide for gradual release of runoff water and hold back the soil from washing into the sea. They are also inseparable from the beauty and wonder of Hawaii. Their long-term protection is crucial to Hawaii's tourism industry. Major Issues: Invasive alien species overwhelmingly comprise the major problem for nature conservation in Hawaii, and pose substantial threats to agriculture and human health. Because of their evolution in relative isolation ecosystems of the Hawaiian Islands are particularly vulnerable to invasion by alien species from continents. More native species have been eliminated in Hawaii than anywhere else in the United States and most places in the world due to habitat destruction and the introduction of alien species. The Biosphere Reserve concept lends itself well to cooperatively addressing alien species problems. Accomplishments and Benefits: The Hawaii National Parks have pioneered alien animal control. Hawaii Volcanoes and Haleakala National Parks are goat-free. Pig removal programs are also well-advanced and native vegetation recovering in both these prime natural areas. Park managers have taken an integrated approach to alien plant management within parks involving elimination of incipient populations to nip an aggressive invasion in the bud, elimination of peripheral populations to slow spread, control within Special Ecological Areas (largely intact stands of diverse native vegetation with associated fauna), and biological control. As of 1997, these approaches are being adopted island-wide and state-wide, involving extensive interagency cooperation. A statewide alliance of biodiversity, agriculture, health and business interests is gradually emerging which has the potential to cooperatively address Hawaii's alien pest crisis.
Extractions: The Golden Gate Biosphere Reserve (GGBR) is made up of thirteen separate units managed by nine separate agencies or organizations including three federal, one state, two county, two university and one private and extends in the central California coastal region from the Bodega Marine Reserve of the University of California, Davis in the north to the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve of Stanford University in the south. Seaward it extends out from the shore approximately thirty miles to the edge of the Continental Shelf and includes the Farallon Islands. Within San Francisco Bay it includes Angel Island and Alcatraz. The total area of the GGBR is 83,000 hectares and 2,400 square nautical miles. The terrestrial portion of the GGBR is within the Californian biogeographic province, which is considered the forest/scrubland area facing the greatest threat of species extinction in the continental United States due to its tremendous biodiversity and the number of species with restricted habitats (E.O. Wilson, 1992). The marine component of the GGBR represents the Californian-Temperate North Pacific coastal-marine province. The GGBR encompasses the complete spectrum of marine habitats ranging from the intertidal to the deep oceanic, and includes some of the largest and most diverse eastern Pacific populations of seabirds and pinnipeds south of Alaska. Collectively, the units of the GGBR offer protection to a very wide variety of ecosystems.

In addition, we were required use this data to calculate the population of these island groups in ten years, determine the projected population density at that time, and determine the period in which the population will double, based on current growth rates. Our data on population, land area, population density and population growth was provided by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, with supplementary data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Population in 2014 was calculated by assuming a constant growth rate, and using the formula P =P((100+r)/100) X , where P is the current population, r is the growth rate in percent, and x is the number of years (in this case, 11, since we were using 2003 population statistics). Thus, the total increase compounds exponentially as a factor of the number of years of growth. Density in 2014 was then estimated by dividing the resulting populations by land area. The doubling time for population was determined using the formula Y=ln2/((100+r)/100), where Y is the period and r is the percentage rate of increase. By taking the natural logarithm of two (the factor of increase) over the natural logarithm of the annual factor of increase (calculated as 1 plus the decimal increase), we can determine the span, assuming a constant rate of increase.
