Fishermen, students, and the general public are invited to a series of free community workshops on a number of emerging and ongoing fishery issues and programs. Teachers can use this opportunity to provide themselves and/or their students with hands-on interactions with several agencies and organizations involved in fishery research in Hawaii and have an opportunity to win a GPS unit. Additional educational resource materials and field trip opportunities may be available to teachers upon request by interacting with the representatives at the workshop.
