Pop-Up Makeke

Today happens to be Cyber Monday, and to acknowledge the small businesses that have had to move online to survive the pandemic we bring you a story behind the success of pop-up makeke. It's a show that’s a little bit QVC, a little bit Amazon and all about helping small businesses. We talked with Kuhio Lewis, Executive Director of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement talking about the story behind Pop-Up Makeke.

DLNR Reef Fish Rules Meetings

Healthy reefs need help from healthy fish and other marine life.

That’s why the State’s Aquatic Resources division is reaching out to fisher people and ocean users casting a wide net to get information about herbivores - our friendly marine creatures that we interact with when we get out into the sea.

Stacia Marcoux is with the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Here’s what you need to know about a series of scoping meetingsthat run through Dec 10th.
