Introduction 1.

Aloha, and welcome to the Waipi‘o Valley Stream Restoration Study, a research collaboration of scientists and students.

My name is Ron Englund and I am a stream scientist at the Bishop Museum. I would like to invite you and your classmates to join Bishop Museum and other scientists in an important landmark study in Waipi‘o Valley. We will be conducting the first-ever study of completely restoring a Hawaiian stream to natural flow conditions, and we can use your help. Since the scientists are only able to go to the stream site occasionally, groups of students from your school and other schools will participate in the study and help us collect and analyze data.

Let's start by reviewing some background on this project. Next >>
