Maui Talk Story Events, October 28-30, 2022
The first step of the Holomua community planning process kicked-off with Talk Story events on Maui in October 2022. This process will be rolled out to each island over the next few years.
In late October 2022, DAR hosted three in-person talk story meetings in Wailuku, Lahaina, and Hāna, where local residents shared their ideas on how we can work together to ensure that our ocean resources that sustain us can thrive today and for generations to come.
195 residents attended the Talk Story events where the community became familiar with the Holomua Initiative, shared Maui stories of current management efforts, and offered an opportunity for DAR to gather the larger community’s input on the future of marine resource management for their island’s nearshore waters.
Feedback and Input From the Maui Community at 2022 Talk Story Events
Community members who were willing to participate during the three community Talk Story events provided us with completed templates that helped to communicate their thoughts and feedback. These forms are being shared below without revision (minus the personal phone numbers) in their own handwriting, and each template represents manaʻo from 2-6 Maui community members per form collaborating to provide their ideas for a way forward for Maui
Shared Stories of Current Management Efforts and Inspiration for the Future
Notes and sketches were hand drawn live during the three unique Maui community story-sharing sessions.
