Symposium Day!
By Sydni Pawn
Our symposium went well! We started with Aunty Arleone Dibben-Young who spoke about erosion and mangroves. Then we had students present. The first group to present looked at fishponds, and they talked about the best ways to maintain fishponds. The second group presented their investigation about how throw and lay nets affect the reef. The IEEIA 101 class talked about the water quality at the wharf and in estuaries, and whether Kaunakakai Wharf should be recreational use only. When they finished, IEEIA 201, presented the rest of their issues: commercial taking of aquarium fish, non-seasonal sand erosion, and eradication of mangroves. All of the issues were interesting and informational. Thanks to all the students for their great presentations, thanks to Ms. Kim for spending her birthday at our symposium, and thanks to our families for coming to our PRISM symposium to support us.
Kumu Farms
By the Farm Tour Students
Did you know that papayas have three times more VITAMIN C than one orange, three times the DIETARY FIBER of apples, more VITAMIN A than carrots, and more POTASSIUM than bananas? Well that’s some of the things we learned today when twelve of us were able to see, smell, touch, and taste nature on a tour of Kumu Farms. Besides papaya, we were able to pick kale, rainbow swiss chard, green onion, mint, eggplant, lettuce and rosemary. We really enjoyed our time there and would like to thank Kumu Farms and Aunty Manu for the tour and snacks.
