Four University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> experts and leaders have been appointed by Gov.<\/abbr> Josh Green to the Governor\u2019s Advisory Committee on Marine Affairs. 东精影业<\/abbr> Mānoa Provost Michael Bruno, 东精影业<\/abbr> Mānoa Institute for Sustainability and Resilience<\/a> Director Makena Coffman 东精影业<\/abbr> Vice President for Research and Innovation<\/a> Vassilis Syrmos, 东精影业<\/abbr> Office of Land and Ocean Conservation Futures Director Suzanne Case were named to the committee on June 10, 2024.<\/p>\n

They will join 东精影业<\/abbr> Mānoa Daniel K. Inouye Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education<\/a> Director David Karl who is serving as committee chair. The formation of the committee and Karl’s appointment was announced<\/a> on Earth Day, April 22, 2024.<\/p>\n

“With Professor Karl\u2019s leadership, I am confident that these distinguished individuals bring invaluable expertise and commitment to the preservation of Hawaiʻi\u2019s<\/span> marine resources,” said Green. “Their contributions will be crucial in guiding the state toward a sustainable and thriving marine ecosystem.”<\/p>\n

Karl has been working since April to recruit members of the committee. He will convene members to plan and execute on the principles of the blue economy and collaborate with stakeholders, including Hawaiʻi\u2019s<\/span> Congressional Delegation, to develop tangible recommendations for sustainable ocean-related policies and initiatives. According to the World Bank, the blue economy is the “sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystem.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve recruited many of Hawaiʻi\u2019s<\/span> top leaders from the field of marine conservation and sustainability,” explained Karl. “Today\u2019s announcement marks the start of the next stage in our work.”<\/p>\n
