Going around Pohnpei Island, Micronesia

[@pseudotonal]

When I lived in Ponape in 1980 there was only 100ft of paved road and no road around the island. To get to certain villages we took a tiny boat through the mangrove and even out into the ocean.

I am a good football player. Is it possible that if I go for tourism in Micronesia, I can play football in one of the clubs there?

I think that the governor 🤔 should request from department defense to build a military bases on the islands. This would increase economy for local citizens, then request infrastructure upgrades, assist local communities needs that bring better understanding of each other. Japan 🇯🇵 is relocating American troops because of long discontented over the years. Making a multi level bases for DOD. Be something for governors to look at seriously. Increase tax revenues in the long run from services to the islands.

Is the sea level really rising on the shores of Micronesia? Are there new hotels being constructed on the shores and beaches of Micronesia? I’m asking because I don’t trust the mainstream media about scary climate change news. I trust locals like you who really know what’s going on there.

Come visit one day.

@@juliusruwetathin7676 - Thanks for the invitation because I plan on obtaining a scuba diving certification in 2021 and looking for some amazing dive locations like you have there. So if I do come visit will I see evidence of sea level rise? If so by how much over what time scale?

[@none-jc3xr]

mostly sand and soil erosion due to heavy rains, I guess. Only in November and February, Pohnpei experience higher than normal high tides.

[@DeathValleyDazed]

@@none-jc3xr - thanks for your reply. So it appears that locally sea levels are not rising but there is seasonal beach-shoreline erosion? In other words locals are not in panic mode over the scary “rising sea level” news we hear so much about?

@@DeathValleyDazed Pohnpei Micronesia doesn't have beaches it seems, it seems to be dominated by mangroves along its coastline, it's an island that has sunk at one point in time, perhaps it is still sinking slowly.
