Friends of Hanauma Bay

Meet Jean Carr, The Volunteer:

A great deal of high level environmental protection activity and service to patrons occurs at Hanauma Bay that wouldn’t be possible without a cadre of dedicated volunteers.  A recent article in the online newspaper Honolulu Civil Beat featured one such volunteer, Jean Carr, who has been a docent with Sea Grant’s Hanauma Bay Education Program since 1990.  Jean also volunteers at the Waikiki Aquarium.

This presentation highlights my graduate thesis research that looked to identify significant threats to Hawai‘i’s coastal resources, challenges and barriers to management, and ways to enable effective solutions. The research was undertaken with the vision of being able to support the daily decisions of resource managers, policy makers, and funding agencies that work collaboratively to protect our coastal resources. It was suggested that this work could serve as a model in regards to how science can support management as it is easily reproduced at a low cost. To learn more join us on Thursday evening.

As always, these events begin at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday evening in the theatre at the Hanauma Bay Education Center.  Events are free and open to the public, with no charge for parking after 5:30 p.m.  We hope to see you on Thursday evening!  These programs are supported and funded by the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation.
