For this ETD event, HAF is hosted a private screening of Hashi Media’s Taste Our Love for Hawai‘i Episode 3: Aqua+Culture, featuring chefs Niki Nakayama and Mark Pomaski. Following the screening, we heard from keynote speaker Dick Jones, CEO of Blue Ocean Mariculture.
Dick Jones, CEO of Blue Ocean Mariculture, provided an overview of aquaculture as a global industry and the potential for the industry here in our islands. He also shared his view on why Hawaiʻi can be a leader in new technologies and innovations for the industry. The presentation was followed by a panel that will share how loko iʻa of the past are also contributing to our local food supply, where investments are being made in aquaculture, and how this industry can contribute to Hawaiʻi’s economic diversification, food resiliency, job creation and cultural preservation.
