PRESENCE
IN HAWAII

Lab

From growing corals from small fragments, to nursing coral colonies given to us by the authorities after boat groundings , the lab also provides hands on learning experience for interns and students that tour the facilities.

Educational Tours

School groups tours include class time where an introduction to the ocean ecosystem is explored, and a visit to the lab, that may include coral feeding, observing coral polyps under the microscope, and learning about the myriad of living creatures that depend on the coral for survival.

Coral Education Center

Scheduled to open in mid 2020, the center will feature a large aquarium tank and interactive learning tools that will merge ancient Hawaiians wisdom regarding the pivotal role of coral with our present understanding of its place in the food pyramid.
