One of our largest projects is a synergistic collaboration with @waimeavalleyoahu to study the interconnectedness and flow of microbes through ecological systems and trophic levels - from water to mud to rock to plant to bug to bird/fish/mammal. This project helps to ground us in our understanding of place and how we as humans influence that place. C-MĀIKI's research will help steward and promote restoration, conservation, and sustainability of our most precious native resources by exploring the uncharted world of microbes. #nakiloaomaiki
