July was a busy month of conferences for the Mālama Maunalua team! From Hawaiʻi to Aotearoa, we had the opportunity to present our work, learn from inspiring organizations, and connect with others dedicated to protecting our natural resources.
Throughout the month, our team shared Mālama Maunalua's work at the Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference, the Stormwater Quality Best Management Practices Workshop, and the International Coral Reef Symposium.
At the Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference, our team presented multiple posters highlighting the power of science, stewardship, and community collaboration. At the Stormwater Workshop, we shared lessons learned and best practices for implementing Green Stormwater Infrastructure to improve watershed health across Maunalua Bay. At the International Coral Reef Symposium, we showcased our ridge-to-reef restoration efforts, learned about the latest advances in coral reef science, and connected with coral researchers and restoration practitioners from around the world.
We're returning home inspired by the passion, innovation, and collaboration we witnessed throughout the month. Mahalo to everyone working to protect and restore our lands and oceans! Our team is excited to continue advancing restoration efforts in Maunalua Bay, from mauka to makai.
