Introduction to Water Quality

Water is one of our most important resources as it is essential to both human and ecosystem health. In a series of four meetings, this course addresses topics including drinking water, agricultural water, aquaculture/aquaponics and coastal/freshwater taught by Maui’s leading water quality experts, and will introduce you to water regulations, standards and monitoring procedures as it applies to our oceans, streams, food and drinking water on Maui.

Investing in Sustainable Communities

Maui faces numerous challenges: impacts of climate change, increasing pressures on infrastructure and our natural environment, food insecurity, vulnerable water resources, and an urgent need for community-directed economic development. Environmental care, social responsibility, and good governance (ESG) investing is an $11 trillion industry that addresses these challenges, and investors who spent billions in our islands just last year can make transparent and measurable ESG commitments that support the transition to a sustainable Maui. Join us for lunchtime discussions about how the community can encourage ESG Investment in: Agriculture, Affordable Housing, Intellectual Property, Renewable Energy, and Sustainable Business Corporations. Presented by Responsible Markets. Free to the community, registration required as space is limited.
