Dive into deep-sea discovery! 🧐 Join the Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) Research Reveal & Show and Tell this Friday. We’re opening up the ARMS devices deployed off Guam’s shores to see what incredible marine life and data they’ve collected. Meet the researchers and explore the future of reef monitoring!
Join us as we engage Guam’s community, local leaders, and stakeholders in updated discussions on how ocean energy – specifically Sea Water Air Conditioning (SWAC), Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), and wave energy – can support Guam’s long-term energy resilience, economic diversification, and environmental sustainability. The goal is to share current research, explain potential sites and benefits, and gather community perspectives to shape the path forward.
