🎼 International Music Day

👉 At #PacificPeopleForest, we believe that to understand the history of #Rota and the #MarianaIslands, we must also listen to the voices of their communities.

🎶 #JohnnySablan holds a special place in this legacy; he is one of the pioneers of contemporary #Chamorro music.

🗓️ 5 September: #InternationalDayofIndigenousWomen.

ℹ️ At #PacificPeopleForest, this recognition prompts us to highlight the #Chamorro women, whose communities have inhabited the #MarianaIslands for millennia and form an essential part of the history of #Rota.

During our exploration of Ahyi Seamount, we found a school of #yellowcrownedbutterflyfish (Chaetodon flavocoronatus): a deep-water fish endemic to the #MarianaIslands but rarely caught on video. The species was discovered/named in the early 1980s. Watch the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTuh...

The #MarianaIslands region is largely shaped by #platetectonics, with some of the oldest #seafloor on the planet driven into the #MarianaTrench and remelted to bubble up as #magma, forming a chain of volcanic islands and more than 60 subsea #volcanoes.
