Palmyra Reflections: Sam ‘Ohukani‘ōhi‘a Gon

The Nature Conservancy Hawai‘i's senior scientist and cultural advisor, Sam ‘Ohukani‘ōhi‘a Gon, shared with us why he felt the Hōkūle‘a voyage to Palmyra Atoll is important. With the arrival of four crews (arrival and return crews from both Hōkūle‘a and Kama Hele), the atoll's population jumped to 42 - the most number of people since World War II.

Was the human impact of the Hōkūle'a crews on Palmyra Atoll worth it?
