In beginning my project my goal is to help clean our reefs in Hawaiʻi. We start by clearing invasive plants growing in the islands. A big factor to invasive plants is the mangrove plant. We see this plant all around the island. My group and I have chose to work at Papa Heʻeia to clean up the mangrove at this historic fishpond. By cleaning this we restore the beauty of our beaches and fishponds. We as kanaka maoli should leave a great legacy of trying to restore the beauty our kupuna left. I believe by doing this clean up we achieve that goal. This is relative to our country because Portugal has polluted reefs, and by doing this we make a difference.. one "island" at a time.
