Steven Johnson travay ak Divizyon Kalite Anviwònman nan Commonwealth la nan Zile Mariana Nò (CNMI). Nan 2011, li te yon patisipan nan Fòmasyon nan atelye antrenè Zile Pasifik la. Apre fòmasyon sa a, Rezo a bay Steven yon sibvansyon finansman grenn kote li te fè patenarya ak Steve McKagan, yon pêche biyolojik ak NOAA, pou dirije yon fòmasyon nan Saipan pou manm kominote 59. Fòmasyon yo prezante patisipan yo konsèp yo kle nan chanjman nan klima, koray klowòks epi detèminasyon ak antrene yo sou kòman yo ka fè koray reef siveyans sondaj, ki mennen ale nan yon ogmantasyon nan patisipasyon piblik nan klowòks siveyans pwogram nan Saipan. Pandan yon evènman klowòks 2013, te gen yon ogmantasyon nan rapò sou blanchi koray pa piblik la kòm yon rezilta nan patisipasyon nan fòmasyon yo. Anplis de sa, kòm Steven travay enkòpore prensip detèminasyon nan travay li, li konekte ak Dr Jeffrey Maynard ak fè rechèch jaden ki mennen ale nan yon piblikasyon sou evalyasyon detèminasyon nan yon jounal pi gwo.

Steven Johnson works with the Division of Environmental Quality in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). In 2011, he was a participant in the Pacific Islands Training of Trainer’s workshop. After this training, the Network awarded Steven a seed funding grant where he partnered with Steve McKagan, a Fisheries Biologist with NOAA, to lead a training in Saipan for 59 community members. Their training introduced participants to the key concepts of climate change, coral bleaching and resilience and trained them on how to conduct coral reef monitoring surveys, leading to an increase in public participation in bleaching monitoring programs in Saipan. During a 2013 bleaching event, there was an increase of reports of coral bleaching by the public as a result of participation in the trainings. In addition, as Steven worked to incorporate resilience principles into his work, he to connected with Dr. Jeffrey Maynard and conducted field research leading to a publication on resilience assessments in a major journal.
