In June, HOK announced an exciting travel & work opportunity for our Outreach Coordinator, Sanna, to join the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program on a journey to the North Western Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monuments. Sanna spent the month of June training with the program and deployed in mid-July to Lisianski Island, also known by its Hawaiian name Papa‘āpoho. She spent her days with just two other team members, walking the shores of the 384 acre island, counting monk seals and assessing their health. Join us as Sanna shares stories and photos from her journey! If you want to read more about the Hawaiian Monk Seals and opportunities to join similar opportunities in the NWHI click here.
