🔍 #UHMResearch: Without visitors, #HanaumaBay conditions improve - @himb_soest researchers are using the closure to monitor the impacts on marine life and are starting to see signs that an absence in visitors could improve environmental conditions ➡️ https://t.co/POFDUvkTWC
Hawai‘i is vulnerable to #climatechange, and #climateadvocacy from local communities are needed. @ponoscience created a comprehensive strategic planning advocacy guide to aid efforts in developing environmental advocacy plans and strategies! #NREMseminar

For her NREM capstone project, @cldemattos will work with @papahanakuaola to develop information on the range of #invasivespecies and potential impacts in order to improve management practices and help their goal of restoring native ecosystems #NREMseminar

#Feralcats are obviously a problem here in Hawai'i, spreading #toxoplasmosis and endangering Hawaiian monk seals. But did you know that a big part of the problem is that there is no legislative definition of what a feral cat is?

Did you know that one mature tree of the #invasivespecies#Miconia calvescens can produce 1,692 new reproductive trees in just 20 years? See how Herbicide Ballistic Technology is being used to mitigate the spread of this plant in East Maui! #NREMseminar

#Wetlands are the most vulnerable to sea-level rise, which in turn affects many critical and endangered waterbirds. @CnsrvHI's projections show that Moloka‘i may lose up to 65% of existing waterbird habitat due to marine inundation! #NREMseminar

#MarineReserve ages can be used as a proxy for predation risk. Older reserves have a higher probability of #halo occurrences caused by grazing #herbivores, due to a higher presence of predators! Thanks @ElizMadin for a great talk today at #NREMseminar!

#Labormigration in Southeast Asia causes significant changes in resource control, land use, and land cover, which can also lead to the #regendering of agricultural labor. Thank you @LisaCKelley for presenting at #NREMseminar today!

Maybe—just maybe—instead of spending $1.8 trillion a year on military budgets and weapons of destruction designed to kill each other, we can pool our resources as a planet to fight our common enemy: climate change. https://t.co/rjlNpCR6Tr
