Traditional Hawaiian fishponds are unparalleled examples of effective, resilient, place-based food systems. This collaboratively designed and co-managed project aims to aid restoration and rehabilitation of fishponds by characterizing the diets of Hawaiian and invasive mullet species using DNA analysis and biomarkers to link the fish with their prey, ideally to increase the capacity for sustainable aquaculture.

Agroforestry systems were abundant in historical Hawaiʻi, and there is great interest in their restoration today. This project aims to understand better the potential for public-based agroforestry and co-develop a knowledge exchange to help Hawaiian practitioners across the islands respond and adapt to impacts of shifting weather patterns.
