Restoring Hawaiʻi's past, for the future: Hale O Lono Loko Iʻa

Project PI: Michael Caban II Akamai-Stephens

Project Advisor: Luka Mossman

For my project, I am working at Hale o Lono fish pond, in Keaukaha on the Big Island. I have been learning about traditional fish pond maintenance and management in a modern society. This project involved brush clearing, rock wall repair and construction, removal of predators, and a view of the pond as a whole. In the future, I plan to conduct fish surveys and look for distribution patterns based on varying factors such as the changing tides, varying water parameters, and benthic substrate.
