Please Support Events for Indigenous Community

AFS is asking its members to support creating a welcoming and safe space where Indigenous individuals feel empowered to participate and share their thoughts, ideas, and Indigenous knowledge thus enriching the AFS community. Your donation will help in efforts to: 

• Build a scientific community that is inclusive in thought and impact, respecting the history of the Hawaiian Islands and supporting local businesses while giving back to the community. 
• Facilitate the sharing of knowledge and understanding among diverse groups involved in fisheries, aligning with the AFS Strategic Plan and broader societal trends towards inclusivity in research, particularly with Indigenous peoples. 
• Foster an environment that values Indigenous Knowledge on equal footing with scientific knowledge and ensuring representation of all cultures and organizations with management responsibilities in discussions of larger issues.
