The MEGA Lab and Kilohana collaborated on an Aloha ‘Āina initiative during Merrie Monarch week called, “Map 2 Adapt,” with the intention to Re-Indigenize the Reef: Kanakea (Reed’s Bay).
Ko‘a, or the coral polyp, was the first organism created in the Kumulipo (Hawaiian creation story), and Kanakea is the inoa Hawai’i of Reed’s Bay.
The MEGA Lab’s Map 2 Adapt initiative maps 3D images of coral reefs around the world to measure climate change through the reef. As the tourism division of Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, Kilohana, believes that Map 2 Adapt is a revolutionary voluntourism model with ability to scale across resort areas across the world, which helps The Mega Lab’s goal to map 1 million coral reefs by 2030.
