The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded $890,000 under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to the Purple Maia Foundation on October 1, 2022 for a project grant concluding on March 31, 2024.

The grant funds a project to empower Indigenous fishpond practitioners, coastal communities, and local government in Hawaii with customized environmental data to support biocultural restoration and climate change monitoring and mitigation efforts. Key activities include conducting community outreach meetings with approximately 40 fishpond managers to gather stakeholder perspectives on barriers to effective fishpond restoration. The project also involves designing, developing, and deploying environmental sensors to collect data on watershed conditions tailored to individual needs. This data will aim to strengthen fishpond management practices and climate resilience in local communities that once relied on sustainable coastal aquaculture.
