Mahalo for such a fabulous huaka’i! We had such fun exploring WBNERR and WHOI yesterday. Wheels pointed west for this group. Until next year, a hui hou🌺

Last day of is all pau. We enjoyed some really great presentations from more of our Oceania community from America Samoa and O’ahu! Even a little excitement from a fire alarm during the business lunch, and probably the highest bid basket. Safe travels to all who attended. A hui hou! 🌊

So great to see so many smiles from Oceania at lunch today!

Here we go! Time for some Wicked Good Marine Science Education at the conference! Don’t forget to join Oceania for lunch on Tuesday, July 30th at noon. A hui hou 🌺

Mark your calendars for another exciting dive into the world of Marine Science! This episode will be featuring opportunities in the world of Biosciences in the Pacific 🌊

A beautiful morning full of mo’olelo and talk of limu. Connections made as distant as local Kumu with students from Charleston, SC to as close as UH Manoa biologists and community leaders. Look to the iNaturalist app for more resources of what is hanging in your local tidepools! Sea you next year!

Come explore our shore and engage in citizen science 🌊

Don't delay! Fill out the form today!
