Last week, the HIMARC team had the opportunity to attend the Fifth International Marine Protected Areas Congress IMPAC5 and present about our mission, science, and collaborations! #IMPAC5

It was an honor to stand at IMPAC5 with such dedicated people working to mālama ʻāina in Hawaiʻi and share our work with the international community. #IMPAC5

Our session at IMPAC5 included presentations by HIMARC PI Dr. Mary Donovan, Anita Tsang and Diana Lopera from @HolomuaMarine, and community members from Kalanihale - Miloliʻi CBSFA, the Kipahulu ’Ohana, Ka Honua Momona, and Nā Moku ʻAupuni ʻO Koʻolau Hui. #IMPAC5

Get to know HIMARC! Our mission is to provide #Scientific support for marine resource management in #Hawaii. By coordinating with academic, community, and government organizations, HIMARC informs effective management decisions that benefit both people and reefs.

Who is behind HIMARC? Our mission, goals, and programs are carried out by the ʻOhana, the collective group of #Scientists, #Managers, and #Stakeholders working to monitor and regulate nearshore ecosystems in Hawaiʻi. Visit himarc.org/people to get to know the ʻOhana

New in Royal Society Publishing – Evidence for managing herbivores for reef resilience – We used >20k surveys from #HIMARC Hawai‘i Monitoring and Reporting Collaborative to identify that below 80% of unfished biomass, benthic resilience is compromised Open access: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Thread 👇

New research from HIMARC examines drivers of herbivore biomass and benthic condition in Hawaiʻi to examine the assumptions of reef resilience for local management. Read it open access here: dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

Research from Hawai‘i Monitoring and Reporting Collaborative on a culturally important reef fish (#Acanthurusachilles) reveals that oceanography and habitat are major drivers of species presence, which is helping inform an adaptive management plan being developed by @DLNR bit.ly/meps_740_161
