2026 Plan
What we plan to accomplish in 2026
First Year Goals
Raise 15,000$+
We hope to raise over 15,000 dollars in donations that will be used towards implementing sustainable nature-based solutions.
Restore 5.5+ Hectares
We are aiming to restore around 5.5 hectares of both mangrove and seagrass zones
Restore 150+ Fragments
We plan to restore over 150 coral fragments that have been affected by bleaching
Conduct 3+ Research Studies
We are planning to conduct over three studies focused on environmental and economic impact of rising sea levels
Making it Happen
In 2026, Indy Pacifica will accomplish these goals through local and international collaboration, paired with applied research into the environmental and economic impacts of rising sea levels.
Our local collaboration will involve partnering with Indiana-based environmental-focused organizations and academic institutions to support research initiatives focused on the Pacific Islands.
Internationally, we will collaborate with Pacific-based nonprofit organizations and community leaders who will help direct funding to implement natural programs such as mangrove, seagrass, and coral restoration.
In 2026, we also plan to investigate the impacts of rising sea levels on coastal habitats and shorelines, along with the environmental effectiveness of natural shoreline stabilization methods.
Economically, we plan to not only research the overall economic impacts of rising sea levels on the Pacific Islands, but also compare the costs of maintaining current and future rising sea level reduction methods to the cost of potential relocation if nothing is done to prevent the future impacts of rising sea levels.
