In this episode of Voice of the Sea, we’re visiting the flourishing aquaponics community in Waimānalo. We’ll check out some backyard aquaponics systems to see what people are growing and talk to business owner Travis Sato to learn about the size, costs, and equipment needed to get started. Agriculture professor Ted Radovich shows us the aquaponics systems at the Waimānalo Learning Center where University of Hawaiʻi (UH) researchers are working to improve aquaponics techniques and sharing their research with the community. We also catch up with UH public health researcher Jane Chung-Do, who is studying the societal impacts of aquaponics—from improved diet, to enhanced family and community connectedness. The guiding force behind the Waimānalo aquaculture movement is community leader, certified master gardener, and native Hawaiian cultural practitioner, Ilima Ho-Lastimosa. We start off talking to Ilima in her own backyard.
