The event will also feature workshops, concurrent sessions, field experiences, and a presentation by Dr. Chip Fletcher, Chairperson and Professor in the Department of Geology & Geophysics, UH Mānoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology.

There will be over 30 presentations from partners in environmental education including U’ilani Lima, who will teach about the Molokaʻi Digital Bus program, Anya Tagawa of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Jim Foley of NOAA and more.
