Monitoring the effects of sea level rise on Hawaiian loko'ia 🌊
Показать описание
Researchers investigate the impact of sea level rise on loko iʻa, traditional Hawaiian fishponds.
In the study, published in the open access journal Remote Sensing, researchers are supporting the restoration of loko iʻa along the Eastern Keaukaha Coastline on Hawai‘i Island by using drone technology to investigate how sea level rise impacts the fishponds.
Monitoring the water level at various sites using local in situ water sensors gives those maintaining and managing loko iʻas greater insight into tidal influences and their relation to different loko iʻa types. The researchers hope their work will support the future management of these culturally significant sites, enhancing coastal community adaptation, resilience, and food security in the face of rising sea levels.
