The 2019 Joint Region Marianas INRMP summarizes natural resource management activities on Navy and Air Force bases on Guam. It covers over 50,000 acres of terrestrial and 158,000 acres of submerged lands that are home to 35 federally listed species. Programs focus on invasive species control, listed species protection, and forest enhancement. Recent accomplishments include strengthened partnerships and improved control of brown tree snakes. Natural resource management supports military missions by enabling training and reducing regulatory burdens.

How NAVFACMAR Support Missions
• Sea turtle nesting habitat monitoring enable Special Operations seashore training
• Brown treesnake interdiction/control implemented on multiple islands to support large-
scale DON, USMC and USAF exercises
• Listed species surveys on JRM lands support delisting initiatives by providing USFWS
improved status information. Delisting of species will reduce regulatory burden to
support multiple missions
• Feral pig removal to reduce native forest degradation and protect warfighter families
