Description

Aloha!  You’re invited to Coastal Biocultural Restoration as a Nexus of Innovation (www.bcrworkshop.com), a virtual workshop taking place May 14-17, 2021 from 10am to 4pm HST, with opening day protocol, orientation, and keynote on May 13, 2021, from 2:30-4pm HST. 

In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need Indigenous ecological knowledge to restore the biocultural systems of coasts and waterways. Practitioner-driven biocultural restoration in Hawaiʻi and around the world offers opportunities to innovate in resilience, data-driven natural resource management, regenerative economies, and inclusive STEM education. 

This active-participant workshop brings together Indigenous and local communities, scientists, nonprofits, corporations, government, and more to develop project ideas and define priorities for use-inspired research and application centered around the process and practice of biocultural restoration. 

Registration for this multi-day event is Complimentary!  To learn more about this workshop and REGISTER at https://www.bcrworkshop.com/
