The Mariana Trench Treasure Chest is a collaborative initiative between the Friends of the Mariana Trench (FOMT) and the CNMI National Wildlife Refuge Service (NWRS) contact office.
This project focused on developing a collection of localized outreach materials highlighting native flora, fauna, and key elements of the Mariana Trench. The goal was to effectively convey the significance of the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument (MTMNM), its rich biodiversity, and the importance of its protection.
