Over 125 community members joined NAVFAC Marianas and the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant for a Brown Tree Snake Control Workshop and Snake Hunt at Gab Gab Beach, aimed at curbing the spread of the invasive species from Guam. The event combined education, live demonstrations, and hands-on conservation action under the theme “Learn. Spot. Protect Native Species of the Marianas!” Participants learned safe capture techniques and contributed to the removal of several snakes during the evening hunt. The initiative, supported by agencies including USDA-WS, USGS, and DOAG, underscores Guam’s ongoing commitment to protecting native biodiversity and preventing the brown tree snake’s spread to neighboring islands.
