but an understanding of key issues and environmental stewardship.

OI seeks volunteers
Oceanic Institute, an HPU affiliate, seeks volunteers
to assist with the giant clam project at its Waimanalo
campus.
Volunteers will work with the Fisheries and Environmental
Sciences Department. Duties include clam maintenance, data
collection, and data entering.
Additional help with off-campus field work may also be
incorporated if students are interested.
This is a great opportunity to work closely with these
delicate marine animals and to gain experience at Oceanic
Institute. E-mail or call Tom Ogawa for more information:
togawa@oceanicinstitute.org, 259-3169.
