Chamorro advocates have also objected to the federal review, citing inadequate consultation and threats to ancestral waters. Island Research: UOG Sea Grant is offering up to $100,000 for two-year projects on issues including coral reefs, watershed restoration, aquaculture and coastal resilience. Weather: Invest 99W may pass near the northern CNMI and develop, but forecasters expect little impact on Guam.
