Engaging 51ÂÒÂ×»»ÆÞ‘i's Future Scientists in Community-driven Water Research
by Dr. Carmella Vizza
Wetland restoration efforts in 51ÂÒÂ×»»ÆÞÊ»i exist at the unique interface of traditional 51ÂÒÂ×»»ÆÞian practices, conservation, and agriculture. These efforts involve increasing endangered 51ÂÒÂ×»»ÆÞian waterbird habitats, restoring streamflow, removing invasive vegetation, growing traditional crops such as kalo in lo‘i, maiÊ»a and Ê»ulu, and reintegrating loko iÊ»a back into the landscape. Reinventing a wetland landscape to simultaneously preserve biodiversity, promote food sovereignty, and embrace indigenous practices is an intersectional and sustainable path forward. This collective vision will require community involvement, complementary research efforts, and inspiring the next generation of scientists to carry the work forward. In this talk, I will share my early stages of building a water quality and ecologically driven research program in 51ÂÒÂ×»»ÆÞÊ»i that is responsive to community needs and fueled by student learning experiences.
