11 Feb: Identifying the physiological responses to extreme environmental changes in Hawaiian sea cucumbers found in traditional fishponds

PI: Andre Seale
One challenge for successful Hawaiian fishpond restoration is the incomplete understanding of the changes to pond ecosystems in response to environmental changes and management strategies. This project explores the optimal conditions for raising two Hawaiian sea cucumbers, unique candidates for improving fishpond ecosystems via enhanced nutrient cycling.

10 Feb: Exploring nutrient utilization in Hawaiian seaweeds for parallel aquaculture development across restoration and sustainability applications

PI: Craig Nelson
Aquaculture efforts to raise edible Hawaiian limu (seaweed) require reliable and sustainable nutrient sources that have no negative impacts on their microbiota. This project seeks to advance limu propagation in Hawaiʻi by evaluating the potential of nutrient-rich groundwater and fish-aquaculture effluent as new nutrient sources for limu aquaculture.
