The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded Hawaii Pacific University's Oceanic Institute a $295,409 Project Grant under the Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program (CFDA 11.427). The two-year award running from September 2021 to August 2023 will support establishing marine aquaculture techniques for kumu, an endemic Hawaiian goatfish, with Hawaii's fishing community in Waimānalo. The goal of this NOAA program is to increase sustainable fisheries and seafood opportunities. Under this award, the Oceanic Institute will work directly with local fishers to develop aquaculture methods for kumu that can then be adopted more widely and help diversify Hawaii's fisheries with this culturally significant species.
