These brief clips summarize our research on climate change in the Pacific Islands region.
The Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center produced these short videos on climate change-related research. They shared this 9-part video series, called "Time Series Tuesdays," on on Twitter and Facebook. Watch and learn about how climate is affecting our species and environments in the Pacific Islands.
What’s a time series and how do scientists use them to learn about climate change?
Discover the power of herbivorous fish as they use their talents to help coral reefs remain resilient in the wake of climate change.
How will climate change affect marine species in the Pacific Islands region? Watch to find out the results of NOAA’s in-depth investigation into this question. What we discovered may surprise you!
The animals of the open ocean are very difficult to study. Nevertheless, scientists have developed some ingenious methods to learn more about these mysterious creatures. Watch to find out how!
In this first part of our two-part series on Hawaiian monk seals, learn all about how important terrestrial land is to pup survival and how climate change is threatening this habitat.
In the second part of our Hawaiian monk seal series, learn of a possible solution to the problem of terrestrial habitat loss. Make sure to watch the first part from last week to get the whole picture!
The oldest known fish lived to be 226 years old! But just how do we know this? Lend an ear to find out how scientists determine the age of fish in this week’s post.
The communities of the Pacific Islands love their fish and NOAA wants to support this love for years to come. Find out how NOAA plans to sustain fisheries with help from local communities.
Scientists are on the hunt for the most resilient coral as we prepare for the impacts of climate change. Find out how scientists are using cutting-edge technology to build 3D models of coral colonies.
Ahi tuna is absolutely delicious and a staple of the Pacific Islands diet. What can we do to guarantee a future full of tasty poke? Find out by watching this week’s post!
