The MICS is closing out this project in in 2023 and is excited to have been an implementing partner of the RMI Ridge to Reef Star project. This project worked with three of the five atolls/communities in the RMI to help develop their integrated resource management plans to sustain biodiversity and livelihoods by building community resilience through strengthening natural resource management (via the Reimaanlok process). The MICS was responsible for the development of the management plans for Likiep, Wotho and Mejit and assisted the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in developing the plan for Aur Atoll. . This project is funded by GEF through UNDP and coordinated through the RMI’s Climate Change Directorate.
MICS will be finishing off the following activities before closure of the project in November 2023:
Alternative Livelihood Development for Wotho Atoll - construction of the community led clam farm and production of awareness materials and brochures on their handicrafts
Delineation of all protected sites
Map of the Marshall Islands with R2R target atolls and islands circled in red.
