Free Webinar: Unlocking the Mysteries of Biodiversity on Hawaiian Coral Reefs
2025-02-05 17:30 - 18:30 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Zoom webinar
Dr. John Burns of the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo will share how the Multiscale Environmental Graphical Analysis (MEGA) Lab is using cutting-edge 3D technology to map and study reefs as the organization pursues its goal of mapping 1 million of the world’s best reefs by 2030. MEGA Lab uses their 3D reconstructions of reefs, layered with an array of environmental data to improve their understanding of the biology and ecology of these habitats, which has helped them learn how coral reefs are changing over time, and how these changes impact associated reef organisms and the services we as humans depend on.

Volunteer Day: Collecting Limu Samples for Nutrient Testing
2025-02-11 08:30 - 11:00
Testing limu for excessive levels of nutrients can help identify potential pollutants entering nearshore waters. We’re looking for a small group of volunteers to help us collect limu (algae) samples from beaches in Kīhei on Tuesday, February 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The day will include a short training followed by the collection of limu at 2-3 sites in South Maui.

Volunteer Day: Limu Sampling in North/West Maui
2025-04-14 08:30 - 11:30
We are looking for a small group of volunteers to help us collect limu samples from sites in North/West Maui on Monday, April 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The day will include a short training day followed by the collection of limu at sites in North/West Maui.
Generally, ocean water pollution comes from commercial fertilizer, wastewater, or a mix of the two. Analyzing how much Nitrogen is present in sample tissue can give us clues about which one is the culprit. Levels around 2% or less are considered a normal standard for Nitrogen, but elevated levels signal enrichment in the water.
Spots are on a first-come, first-served basis. Mahalo!
