SUMMARY:"Shark Research in Hawaii – With an Emphasis on Maui"  Free Presentation by Kim Holland\, PhD 
DESCRIPTION:Recent shark attacks that occurred off the coast of Maui in November (2020)\, December (2020) and January (2021)\, as well as an incident in February (2021) which involved a large shark biting a kayak\, have many ocean users concerned and curious about the sharks found in our nearshore waters. \nThe public is invited to learn more about our local sharks at a free Zoom presentation titled “Shark Research in Hawaii – With an Emphasis on Maui.” It wlll be presented by Dr. Kim Holland\, Research Professor at Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology\, (HIMB) at University of Hawaii at Manoa and the founder of the Shark Research Group at HIMB. \nThis free talk is hosted by Maui Nui Marine Resource Council’s “Know Your Ocean Speaker Series” and will take place on Wednesday\, March 3 at 5:30 pm via Zoom. The presentation is free\, but advance reservations are required. To reserve your spot\, please visit https://bit.ly/SharkWebinar \nFor over 40 years Dr. Holland’s research has focused on the biology and movement patterns of large marine fishes such as tuna\, billfishes and sharks. He has been a pioneer in helping to develop and deploy cutting edge tracking technologies that allow unprecedented insight into the movement patterns of marine fishes. \nHis presentation will include a brief overview of tracking technologies with an emphasis on what has been learned about the movements of sharks around Maui Nui. \n“While many Maui residents and visitors are fearful about sharks\, it’s important to remember that sharks play an important role in maintaining Hawaii’s ocean ecosystems\,” said Anne Rillero\, Communications\, Community Outreach and Development Manager at Maui Nui Marine Resource Council. “We’re looking forward to learning more about Dr. Holland’s findings and insights about Hawaii’s sharks.” \nMaui Nui Marine Resource Council’s “Know Your Ocean Speaker Series” events are held monthly via Zoom. Support for these events is provided by the County of Maui Mayor’s Office of Economic Development. \nThe emcee for this event is Darla Palmer-Ellingson\, local radio show host of the public affairs program Island Environment 360 — Maui’s only commercially broadcast public affairs show on environmental and related Hawaiian cultural topics\, aired on the stations of H-Hawaii Media. \n

SUMMARY:Free Presentation on “Growing Up Fast: A Land-Based Coral Nursery for Restoring Hawaii’s Reefs” Offered During Earth Week
DESCRIPTION:  \nKIHEI\, HI— In honor of Earth Day and Earth Week\, the public is invited to a free presentation on “Growing Up Fast: A Land-Based Coral Nursery for Restoring Hawaii’s Reefs” on Zoom on Wednesday\, April 21 at 5:30 pm. \nThe presenter will be coral specialist Christina Jayne of the Dept. of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources Hawaii Coral Restoration Nursery. The talk is hosted by Maui Nui Marine Resource Council\, as part of its monthly “Know Your Ocean Speaker Series.” \nCoral reef restoration is the process of raising new corals — often from fragments of coral salvaged from the wild — in a protected\, nurturing environment\, then transplanting them out into the ocean to grow and form new reefs. When combined with efforts to improve coral reef habitat\, it is viewed as a way to help coral reefs survive the stresses of climate change and warming ocean waters. \nFor the past two years\, Jayne has worked for the Dept. of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources as a coral restoration specialist at the Hawaii Coral Restoration Nursery on Oahu with director David Gulko. Before moving to Honolulu\, she earned her bachelor’s in Marine Biology from the University of California San Diego and her masters from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.“Hawaii’s reefs are extremely unique and Hawaiian corals have some of the slowest growth rates in the world\, which is why the State has taken an innovative\, land-based approach to coral restoration\,” notes Jayne. \nHawaii’s first state coral nursery\, which is managed by DAR\, opened in 2016 at the Anuenue Fisheries Research Center on Oahu. \nCorals are brought to the Coral Restoration Nursery and are rapidly grown using a series of aquarium-based techniques that help them to generate large coral colony modules in a fraction of the time it would take naturally\, which can be out-planted back on the reef. \nThe nursery typically uses corals for out-planting from harbors because of their lower ecological value compared to corals from natural areas\, says DAR\, and they may also be more resilient to any challenges and environmental changes. \nUniversity of Hawaii Sea Grant researchers are also conducting experiments at the Anuenue facility to understand different environmental conditions\, like light and water movement\, that are useful for growing corals quickly. Creating the best environment for the corals to grow rapidly will help to restore local reefs after disturbance events such as bleaching or physical damage. \nMaui Nui Marine Resource Council’s “Know Your Ocean Speaker Series” events are held monthly via Zoom. Support for these events is provided by the County of Maui Mayor’s Office of Economic Development. \nThe virtual event’s emcee will be Darla Palmer-Ellingson\, local radio show host of the public affairs program\, Island Environment 360 Maui’s only commercially broadcast public affairs show on environmental and related Hawaiian cultural topics\, aired on the stations of H-Hawaii Media. \nTo reserve your spot at this free Zoom webinar\, please visit https://bit.ly/coralnurserywebinar
