Inventory and Monitoring at American Memorial Park

American Memorial Park's mangroves brim with life

Both a WWII historical park and a locally popular recreational area, American Memorial Park on Saipan Island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands contains more than just sports fields and a state-of-the-art museum. Mostly obscured from view by overgrown trees and vines is a modest, but lively 30-acre wetland mangrove forest complete with vibrant native birds, plants, insects, and crustaceans.
