In 2011 we are expecting to have four field projects in Hawai‘i, in February (off Kaua‘i), May (off Hawai‘i Island), July/August (off Kaua‘i and Hawai‘i), and in October/November (off Hawai‘i Island). We'll be posting regular updates on what we are seeing and what we are accomplishing during these projects. You can also get updates on all of Cascadia's activities by following us on Facebook
