This week’s UH News Image of the Week is by Jason Leonard from the Papahānaumokuākea National Monument Instagram.
From the post: “Our MOP (University of Hawaiʻi Marine Option Program) and QUEST (Quantitative Underwater Ecological Surveying Techniques) students onboard the current NOAA RAMP expedition to Papahānaumokuākea have had a long and hard road from sunrise on the beach at Keʻei, Hawaiʻi Island during QUEST field camp, to sunrise on the bow of the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette at Nihoa. To our MOP and QUEST students, of this year and all past years…Mahalo for sharing this journey with us. The ocean connects Moku o Keawe (Hawaiʻi Island) and Papahānaumokuākea. Now, so do you. You are now a part of this special place, and it, in turn, is now a part of you. One ocean, one archipelago. There are no Main Hawaiian Islands or Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It is all Hawaiʻi. It is the ocean of our ancestors, and we sail in the wake of their canoes.”
