Technology Development and Training in
Bioremediation at the University of Hawaii
The University of Hawaii’s component of the Agriculture-Based Remediation
Program (ABRP) is a vertically integrated effort combining learning by secondary-education
and university students with professionals in bioremediation research and development,
leading to the application of innovative biology-based technologies that protect
the environment and instill environmental stewardship within the community.
UH’s efforts focus on technology development and training in bioremediation
and aim to strengthen bioremediation skills locally, nurture a bioremediation
industry that can serve Hawaii and other locations in the Asia-Pacific region,
and increase public awareness of bioremediation technologies.
Examples of three integrated bioremediation activities are shown.
