Puakea presented on PEWA, a place-based #wai monitoring program, which engaged communities for effective management at #NREMSeminar. She emphasized the value of #datasovereignty during data management. Mahalo for expanding my co-production toolkit! https://t.co/VT6zb0mObQ

Upcoming environmental management graduates from UH Mānoa remind us of the abundance and strength available to us by going back to traditional values and looking to the symbols of the #umeke and #pewa. #NREMseminar https://t.co/2fofIjeEzM

[Breanne (Bree) Fong @BreeeeFong]

Kaleohano Farrant's #beautiful talk shows how we can share community voices in a meaningful way by making #storytelling of 'āina-based groups like @hookuaaina more transformative to spread #abundance and foster #biocultural stewardship

@BreeeeFong explores emotions #ecoanxiety #ecoanger that we experience in response to ecological crises like climate change and the ways in which volunteering in nature activities might be valuable for our mental health.

Do you know the difference between a #watershed & ahupua'a? Oli Carbi's proposal on assessing ahupua'a health in the 'Ewa moku sheds light on the complexity of navigating #social-ecological systems & community interest in watershed management #NREMSeminar https://t.co/Q98rb2bJlA

“We are foreign in our own lands. Regulations immigration financial and political burdens, fuel, the price of fish all reflect this” insight from #NOAA fisheries studies on #EnvironmentalEquityJustice barriers

"Listen to the fishers because they have knowledge too" - Danika Kleiber of @NOAAFisheries as she and Adam Ayers guide us through their work to create #equity for underserved #fishing communities in access to benefits & decision-making #NREMseminar

#Ceratocystis is a fungus responsible for #Rapid_Ohia_Death. This plant pathogen has been spreading across the state since 2010 but has yet to reach all islands. Please be aware of modes of movement to reduce the spread! #NREMseminar https://t.co/nwSuyYoFYf

[Breanne (Bree) Fong @BreeeeFong]

Marc Hughes reveals how two #fungal pathogens are the cause of rapid 'Ōhi'a death, putting native forests at risk of losing this #keystone species. Let's be #mindful when traveling inter-island & clean #hiking gear to prevent spread of spores! #NREMseminar

"Degree will get your foot through the door, but your values will carry you" - Luna Kekoa of
@HolomuaMarine about how marine ecosystem management can be #pono by #government being #humble and listening to and collaborating with #community #NREMSeminar

[Reinier Paul Santiago @rpaulrs]

#CollaborativeResearch with local communities should be grounded on reciprocal care & communication. Let's #uplift voices/worldviews, methodologies, and other ways of knowing. Mahalo @alohinak for sharing your time and aloha with us at #NREMSeminar https://t.co/jFpMdC1ejO

[Breanne (Bree) Fong @BreeeeFong]

A much needed #NREMseminar with @alohinak, who explains how we can be #pono and make our research #collaborative and #participatory as academics to avoid overexploiting #communities and appropriately share #Hawaiian history and knowledge

We zoomed in on the 1st successful #satellitebased observation of irregular mass flowering phenomena of multi 🌳species by Dr Tomoaki Miura via #RemoteSensing + #InSitu observations at #NREMseminar. Up next: #InvasiveSpecies detections on Hawaii? 🔎: https://t.co/gacKJBjYnh

[Breanne (Bree) Fong @BreeeeFong]

Ever heard of general flowering? Tomoaki Miura shows how #budding remote sensing by #PlanetScope commercial #satellites can capture the occurrence of many tree species blooming at the same time! #NREMseminar

“No matter how much one may love the world as a whole, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it” #WendellBerry and sometimes that small part requires collab from mauka to makai. Mahalo @lillianjtuttle for the mana‘o on coral health #NREMSeminar

[Breanne (Bree) Fong @BreeeeFong]

Land-based #pollution endanger our #corals! 1 of 3
@lillianjtuttle's meta-analyses shows how chemical pollutants like #copper put coral larvae at risk--managers need to set more conservative #waterquality thresholds! #NREMseminar

People paying more attention at the UFOs but not the chemical explosion that happened in East Palestine, Ohio that needs urgent attention and resources.

[Isaias Hernandez @queerbrownvegan]

We are a fountain of ecology. We have corridors in our hearts that connect us to our humanity. Our songs that are heavenly and food that tells story. There is so much more worth fighting for to exist and flourish. Let us drain the well of capital and build a wealth of knowledge.

Not all fires are the same, woodland fires burn about 6x longer than grasslands #Prescribedfires used in #indigenous practices had varied uses, including channelling animal food sources and making them easier to hunt! #NREMseminar Check out https://t.co/rIgdJXdwuM
