🌊 On Saturday, June 7, the Hawaiʻi Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) joined community members and partner organizations at Waimea Valley to celebrate World Ocean Day and promote ocean stewardship.

🐠 The Holomua Marine Initiative was represented, providing information about community-based monitoring, marine managed areas (MMAs), and opportunities for communities to engage in the stewardship of Hawaiʻi’s marine resources.

🐟 DAR’s Aquatic Invasive Species team shared information about invasive species prevention and removal efforts, while the Limu Aquaculture Program showcased native limu species cultivated at the Anuenue Fisheries Research Center.

🙏🏽 Mahalo to Waimea Valley, the event organizers, and everyone who attended for helping make the event a success.
