Hui Mālama Loko l’a Indigenous Aquaculture Gathering 

February 2020

Over 170 Indigenous scientists and grassroots aquaculture practitioners from around the Pacific convened on the island of Oʻahu for a historic gathering to camp on the shores of Heʻeia, an 800-year-old ​loko iʻa (traditional Hawaiian fishpond). Our time was spent restoring fishponds, developing skills through workshops, celebrating local foods, learning and sharing in community through stories and chants about the sacred work of food cultivation in each of our places.
