Hawaiian Koʻa Card Outreach Events
The Coral Reef Ecology Lab is extremely grateful to the community for the overwhelming support we have seen at each of our outreach events across the islands. We have presented the Ko‘a Card in Kona Hawai‘i, Maui, O‘ahu and Kaua‘i so far and received amazing attendance, support, and feedback from many community members and organizations. We would also like to express our gratitude to the very generous organizations who were willing to host and help promote our events at each of the islands. The lab is currently planning future outreach events for the Ko‘a card on O‘ahu and in Hilo Hawai‘i in late August. Check the website for updates on future events.
