On Maui’s north shore, KAʻEHU is restoring 64 acres of coastal wetlands at Ka`ehu Bay, once home to thriving fishponds and a productive part of Maui’s ecosystem. Decades of development took a toll, but since 2012, k has been healing the land and revitalizing Hawaiian culture. With support from the American Geophysical Union’s Thriving Earth Exchange and Kansas State Center for Hazardous Substance Research, they are launching a new water monitoring program blending traditional knowledge with STEM education to help the community to care for the bay and protect it for future generations.
