On Wednesday (8/24/22) Laura Jim took her Capstone class to visit the Mauna Lani Honu Program and help to measure the new, 1.5 year old captive reared honu that are currently in the MLAR’s honu pond. The purpose of the trip is to expose the members of the class to different marine related projects. as the class members search for worthy marine research or advocacy projects for their senior year capstone projects.
Pi’i Laeha and his team talked about the pond ecosystem at the hotel and how they go about trying to establish and maintain balance in the system and how they keep the system clean, aerated and supplied with sea water.
