Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea Mapping 1

Throughout the Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea Mapping 1 expedition, join Native Hawaiian cultural liaisons Malia Kapuaonālani Evans and Makoa Pascoe each day as they introduce a new Hawaiian word connected to ocean exploration. These words were initially assembled in support of expeditions in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument on Ocean Exploration Trust’s Exploration Vessel Nautilus, to develop a shared terminology for deep-sea expeditions and uplift and celebrate the vibrant resurgence of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (the Hawaiian language).
