This project translates groundbreaking research on groundwater flow, water quality, and ecosystem health in Nuʻuuli Pala Lagoon, American Samoa’s largest and most threatened wetland, into actionable tools and resources. Building on NOAA-funded findings that quantified groundwater and pollutant inputs, the team will engage local stakeholders through bilingual signage, a dedicated website, workshops, and hydrology courses for students in the Science Department at American Samoa Community College. By fostering civic engagement and equipping policymakers, students, and community members with accessible knowledge, this initiative empowers local efforts to protect the lagoon and promote environmental stewardship.
