Hawaii Pacific-Shield

MAUKA-TO-MAKAI

The Ahupuaʻa Systems Management

The Hawaii Pacific-Shield utilizes the Mauka-to-Makai framework to protect the most isolated marine ecosystem on Earth. We integrate Loko Iʻa sediment-arrest technology with high-altitude Nitrate Sequestration to combat reef degradation. This is an all-island perimeter defense designed to survive 21st-century thermal flux.
