Hanalei Bay, Kauai is a world class tourist destination and marine ecosystem coveted by all those who live, work or play in and around its waters. Currently at a crossroads, the Bay is struggling to maintain its integrity while forces of nature and man collide to challenge its vital and fragile resources. Working closely with Reef Guardians Kauai to network, fundraise and develop a four tiered program to help save and restore the marine environment with the help of local government, residents and experts in their field, our mission is focused first on awareness which will lead to action. The program consists of launching a Heal Hanalei Bay campaign, along with an Ocean Strong call to action. The main goal is to raise money for the reef cleanup and to fund a Marine Eco Center near the Hanalei River, which would house the Reef Guardians, have mentorship programs by the NOAA, Scripps, the U of Hawaii and a host of other Marine Science based Institutes and individuals. Create a World Surf Reserve to protect the surf break and reef. Stoke Certify the St. Regis Hotel and to align with them in partnership for continued conservation and preservation. And also to create a Marine Sanctuary to bring sea life back to the waters of the North Shore.
In partnership with Bruce Mau, the Massive Change Network and George Orbelian/ The Ocean Portal Project. I am co-developing the vision for the launch. I will focus my attention on product development, marketing, design and social outreach for this global awareness and merchandise program to help bring needed revenue to ocean conservation, regenerative innovation and preservation based organizations and causes. Our eventual goal is to design and market a One Ocean flag - and one for each of the 5 oceans of the world - to raise money for cleaner and safer oceans worldwide in alliance with short list of .orgs that are in alignment with our goals and vision. We would like the United Nations to recognize the Ocean Flags to ensure the Ocean is considered, represented, has a voice with protective rights and influence over land based decisions.
Film. Book. Exhibition + Destination. A modern day tome to help support the development of a feature film about R. Buckminster Fuller in collaboration with Bruce Mau and the Massive Change Network. The overall idea is rooted in an eventual pop culture book on Bucky which will support the argument to make a feature film about his life, culminating in a comprehensive permanent exhibition, Dome-esque destination that can further explore his work for the benefit of mankind and the planet.
