Honu health assessment 92 Puako beach road 10-22-26
The HPA STRP team, led by Laura Jim, Robyn Scarth and Marc Rice and joined by 9 HPA student STRP volunteers, traveled to 92 Puako Beach Road for our annual Honu Health Assessment. We were, once again, graciously hosted by HPA Alum Ava Williams to whom we are extremely grateful. During the day we were able to successfully capture, measure, weigh, tag and asses 13 honu. 6 of the honu were recaptures and 7 were new captures.
Below are a few pictures of the students and the work carried out during the 7 hour trip.
