The Kohala Center’s Kahalu‘u Bay Education Center is holding two free ReefTeach orientations this month to educate members of the community on how they can help protect and heal Hawai‘i’s fragile coral reef ecosystems.
With a mass coral bleaching event currently underway across the Hawaiian Islands, the sessions are being offered to give community members information they can use to reduce their impact on coral reef ecosystems, and to share that knowledge with their families, friends, fellow community members, and visitors. Led by Kathleen Clark, The Center’s marine stewardship and education specialist, the sessions will educate attendees about the importance of marine ecosystems to communities in Hawai‘i and around the world. She will also provide basic information about the biology of coral reef ecosystems, how to engage respectfully with marine life, current threats to coral reef health, and what people can do to reduce stress on these vulnerable and vital natural resources.
