The wetland area of Honolulu's Pearl Harbor bike path received a makeover with the help of Aiea Intermediate students as well as Pearl Harbor sailors in conjunction with the City and County of Honolulu. The clean up and replanting of native plant life, such as the Hawaiian Morning Glory, was part of the Adopt-a-Block and Adopt-a-Stream program. The project is a three-year plan (which began in October 2008) to reduce trash and invasive plant life by 80%.
Sailors worked side-by-side with students to remove invasive plant life, replacing the vegetation with native species. Native wetland plants were reintroduced to the area. The native plants help to filter out pollutants before they reach the ocean harbor. Honolulu city workers gave botany lessons to Aiea Intermediate School's eighth-grade science class, increasing their knowledge of their carbon footprint and its affects on the environment.
Thank you Aiea Intermediate and U.S. Navy for another demonstration of the Aloha Spirit and for protecting the environment while adding beauty to our already beautiful Island of Oahu.
Aloha,
