Paʻēpaʻē o Waikolu: Place-based Watershed Education and Caring for our Stream Ecosystems
Service-Learning Experience
In this 3 hour session, participants will confront the guiding question, “What do our waters need from us?” They will seek answers to this question through a 40 minute interactive lecture covering threats to the health & biodiversity of our urban Honolulu stream ecosystems, 40 minute native vs invasive fish identification activity and field equipment training, followed by conducting a 1.5 hour fish population field survey in one of 3 stream complexes in the ahupua’a of Waikīkī. In this session, we hope participants get a chance to…
- be in relationship with our wai
- gain tangible experience in implementing scientifically rigorous methods for student-centered watershed health monitoring
- envision how these types of immersive, place-based, hands-on, community partnered field experiences can enhance student learning and advocacy for our imperiled native species & natural systems in urban Honolulu.
The location for this experience will take place at one of the Paʻēpaʻē o Waikolu sites and will be determined based on the number of RSVPs.
