Local Workforce Development
Developing Coral Reef Stewards
Our vision for a sustainable West Hawaiʻi is built upon an interconnected network of reef stewards. This vision relies on comprehensive ridge to reef education informed by cultural heritage and the latest scientific understanding. Integral to this effort is training a workforce of local reef technicians who can support the budding reef restoration industry on Hawaiʻi Island.
West Hawaiʻi sees an extremely diverse section of humanity on its shores and on its mountainside. Therefore, a holistic approach to reaching Hawaiʻi’s residents and tourists is needed to see the results that we want to see.
