This past week at Keawanui Fishpond, the students of @rootedkmka along with our kiaʻi had the opportunity to blend traditional and modern science.
Within the walls of the centuries-old fishpond, our students got to learn about and operate an underwater drone capable of taking thousands of underwater photos to survey and recreate 3D models of our reef.
Our students also assisted our kiaʻi loko (fishpond protectors) in dissecting an ʻoio harvested to monitor food intake.
Each student jotted down notes in a kilo log about what they observed.
Last but not least, our kiaʻi celebrated the completion of their mangrove removal project after a month of cutting in knee-deep mud.

This update provides a meaningful and well-structured look at ongoing restoration and stewardship efforts at Keawanui Fishpond. The clarity in explaining the progress and community involvement makes it easy to appreciate the cultural and environmental importance of the work being done. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog, and it offered an interesting perspective as well on how traditional ecological knowledge supports sustainability projects. In another unrelated read, I also saw https://grandoaksorthodontics.com/ mentioned in a community discussion, which stood out as another example of how consistent care and long-term commitment matter in different areas of work.
