Community Training Workshop

Attend a training workshop and use your eyes! Attend this 2 hour workshop to learn how to identify and report coral bleaching, coral disease, Crown-of-Thorns Sea Stars and marine invasive species. Whether you are a recreational ocean user, recreational or commercial fisherman, tourism operator, researcher or student, you can help us learn more about when and where these events occur by keeping an eye out for signs of change when visiting the reef.

The Waikiki Aquarium is hosting a FREE 2 hour training to anyone interested on Tuesday, November 13 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Waikiki Aquarium classroom. You’ll learn how to identify and report coral bleaching, coral disease, Crown-of-Thorns Sea Stars and marine invasive species.

If interested or if you have any questions, please contact Lauren Van Heukelem at volunteer@waquarium.org.

Become a member of the Eyes of the Reef Network

The Eyes of the Reef Network (EOR) is an effective statewide reporting system that enables all community members and ocean users to contribute to the long-term protection of our local reefs. Pollution, climate change, poor land practices and increasing recreational and extractive activities create environmental conditions on coral reefs that foster coral disease and coral bleaching, support the spread of invasive species, and threaten reef health. Without initial sightings by the local “eyes” on our reefs, such occurrences may go unnoticed until it is too late.

Space is limited for this Training RSVP to volunteer@waquarium.org by November 10, 2018 if you are interested.
