Overall this project has taught me that staying active in the community and participating in helpful actives such as this really helps the world in a way. As a global citizen it is our responsibility to take care of the land and ocean or and to mālama ʻāina. In our way we are protecting the ecosystem by hunting down invasive fish. This project kind of connects back to what we learned in the classroom. We are taught to make a difference in the world. We are taught that in order for change to happen in the world, we all must take action as the people. We may have not seen the impacts of our project but we know that it definitely impacted the community.
We did some research on the impacts of invasive fish on the reef and we were surprised to see the negative affects they have on the oceanic life and ours to. Take for example, the Ciguatera invasive fish contains toxins that can make you sick if ingested. They also clean other reef life. Our perspectives on invasive changed once we found out how much they impacted the ecosystem. We didn't really predict much in the beginning. We really just thought hunting invasive fish would be easy. In fact it was a bit harder then we expected because they are harder to shoot them then to find them. But overall, what we expected and planned went fairly well. I think that our plan of action was the only way to effectively impact the ecosystem. Even though hunting these fish one by one doesn't seem enough, it was still the only best way to do it. I can't say we couldʻve done anything better because we did what we could to really make a difference.
