Honolulu Civil Beat
The weather's weird, water's warming, sea levels are rising and reefs are bleaching – Climate change is here to stay. But not all is lost. Join Civil Beat as it finds the problems and their solvers, from land to sea, soil to sky.
Seaweed, macroalgae, kelp - there are many different names for the plants of the ocean but in Hawaii, it’s known as limu. In this episode we look at how scientists are using limu to monitor environmental changes happening in the ocean and on land.
Axis deer were introduced to Hawaii more than 100 years ago and, ever since, they have become a plague on Hawaii's environment and food system.
While many have spoken about eradicating the animals from the island, they have become part of the food system for hunters. Consciously or not, hunters have become part of the solution to the problem.
Follow father-son duo Hunter and Fisher Betts as they hunt for deer on Maui.
Healthy soil is not just good for Hawaii’s farmers, but it can also help the state combat climate change. In more ways than one.
