We are officially selling shirts again, and with a brand new design! This new design features women in the four STEM fields while still incorporating the hibiscus from our original logo. Proceeds from each sale will be donated back to fund future events and our Research Grant.

UH hosts high school students overnight on Moku o Loʻe (Coconut Island) - The Summer Marine Mammal Intensive Learning Experience program is designed for Oahu high school students to learn about marine mammal science in a hands-on environment ➡️ bit.ly/3aZsnMV Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology

Another year of fun ahead with these #womeninstem!

Welcome Gussie!!! We are so happy to have you!

Woohoo! A combined 128 days of monk seal sounds!! Big thanks to our partners NOAA Fisheries PIFSC for doing the heavy lifting! #whoopwhoop

Mahalo for coming out to our wine club….. damn autocorrect, I meant Book Club 📖!!! It was refreshing to hear so many of us go through the same thing. Not everyone who came read the chapters, so feel free to come to any other event 👯‍♀️🪩.

Check out my lay language paper on our recent soundscape study! Lots of creatures (and humans) making noise underwater in Hawaiian monk seal critical habitats! #acoustics #soundscape #endangeredspecies #Hawaii

The SURIEA program has rolling submissions, which means ASA will review applications as submitted until the program is filled; there is no hard deadline! Students still have time to apply for this 12-week PAID research program in #acoustics! Details at acousticalsociety.org/suriea/

So proud of Lily and Pearl! They are assisting me with acoustic analysis of Hawaiian monk seal underwater vocalizations… a project that will describe acoustic communication of wild HMS for the first time!! Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology MMRP Uni of Hawaii University of Hawaii at Manoa

Attention! A new blog post is up! Two of our MMRP interns, Lily Magee and Pearl Thompson have received funding through UROP at UH Manoa to assist Kirby Parnell with her project on Hawaiian monk seal underwater acoustic behavior🦭Click the link in our bio to read the blog!

Join our Friday Seminar Series on zoom or in person to listen to our Post Doctoral Researcher Will Gough discuss Energetic Tradeoffs of Extreme Body Size! We would love to see you there 🐋 hawaii.zoom.us/j/97713800943 Meeting ID: 977 1380 0943

This past week members of the He'eia NERR, MMRP Uni of Hawaii, Coral Resilience Lab, and HIMB Education teamed up with @kanehunamoku and others for Wa‘a Day at Kualoa Beach Park. 4th and 5th graders learned about corals, built a colony, and guessed bioaccoustic sounds. #hoakea #waafest
