Pacific Island Inventory and Monitoring Network (PACN)

Pacific Island Inventory and Monitoring Network (PACN).

Dotted with a handful of national park units, the Pacific Island Inventory & Monitoring Network includes 11 protected areas on the naturally and culturally rich islands and archipelagoes of Hawai‘i, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The Pacific Island Inventory & Monitoring Network is one of 32 National Park Service I&M Networks across the country that conduct natural resource inventories and long-term monitoring. Vital signs monitoring tracks certain ecological indicators selected to represent the overall health or condition of park resources. Monitoring data are periodically collected on 12 vital signs. The data are analyzed and summarized to park managers so that they have relevant and up-to-date information on the condition of park resources to inform management actions.
