The Manager Climate Corps:Collaborative Research Pathways across Diverse Worldviews

First ISISA Global Island Studies Webinar

Presenters: Mari-Vaughn Johnson and Darcy Yogi
Abstract: Hawaiian heritage informs community efforts to manage for ʻāina momona, or “fat lands.” This Hawaiian socio-cultural concept denotes a respect for the land’s capacity and a reciprocal relationship with nature that maximizes ecosystem services. Loko i‘a (Hawaiian fishponds) are a traditional management system adapted to natural watershed patterns, local nutrient cycles, and specific aquatic ecosystems. As Hawaiian islands adapt to climate change challenges, we look to our shared past to inform decisions around uncertain futures. An integrated and expansive climate needs assessment developed by and for the state-wide fishpond network emphasizes the pivotal roles of community, cultural, and environmental health.
