We are at the peak of our MAMDRP research project. Through Na Pua No'eau's partnership with Kua'ana Native Hawaiian Student Services, we are trying to answer determine how ocean currents affect the flow of marine debris to specific sites on O'ahu, especially with the debris coming from the Japan tsunami incident.
On December 1st, a bunch of blocks were dropped off some 20 miles out into the ocean on the windward side of O'ahu and come this Saturday, December 8th, another group of blocks will be dropped off approximately 20 miles out into the ocean on the leeward side of O'ahu.
We are asking everyone to spread the word on this huge project and initiative. Tell your friends and family across the state that if they find any of the blocks below, please call our MAMDRP hotline at 956-9531 or email us at mamdrp@gmail.com with the following information:
-The location or place of your find: include the island, town, or country (i.e. Kihei Beach, Maui or Dedeo, Guam)
-The approximate time you found it and the date you found it. Include the month, day and year. (i.e. Around 4:30pm, December 3, 2012)
-On the top of every block there's a number, please provide us with the number on the block you find.
-This is optional, but you may also leave us your name and a contact number or email. This will allow us to contact you if we have any questions.
