My favorite science experience has been traveling and working on tropical islands like those in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). I have been fortunate to work in old growth mangrove forests. I have also worked in one of the largest remaining freshwater Terminalia (a type of large tree) forests in the world on Kosrae, FSM. I learned a lot about how sea-level rise and climate change affect the mangrove ecosystem and its links to nearby fishing areas and to coral reef health. I have also learned how different cultures are linked to the forests and are dependent upon these mangroves for coastal protection, firewood, and fish.
