It seems like almost everyone is trying to “go green” lately. There are many ways you can get involved in Earth Day 2019. You could volunteer for a local restoration project, organize a clean-up event where you live, change a bad environmental habit, attend an Earth Day event, or communicate your priorities to your elected representatives.

Invasive Threats of Hawaii April 2, 2019 — While Hawaii is typically known for its Aloha spirit, there are a number of species that make there residency here, but are unwelcome. Invasive Species are non-native, introduced plants or animals that out-compete or harm native species and disrupt their habitat. Typically, invasive species are a biological entity that exists in a particular environment because it was either purposefully or accidentally brought to the new location by a human agent, and they cause significant harm to the economy, environment, and/or human health and wellbeing. Everyone should understand both the threats posed by invasive species and the tools required to eradicate them. Thousands of invasive species have been introduced throughout the US both accidentally and, in many cases, deliberately. Executive Order (E.O.) 13112 on Invasive Species requires that DoD prevent the introduction of invasive species; detect and respond rapidly to and control populations of such species; monitor invasive species populations; promote native species restoration, and promotes public education on invasive species. MCBH currently works in partnership with other groups, such as the USDA and the Oahu Invasive Species Committee (OISC), to more effectively combat invasive species and to educate installation personnel and other stakeholders about invasive species’ impacts and actions that can be taken to contain them.
