HEI MOANA\u2019S NETWORK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The marine environment in Polynesia is home to an exceptional biodiversity: rich fauna and flora, coral reef, iconic marine species (sea turtles, marine mammals\u2026). Facing a lot of different threats like marine pollution, coastline urbanization and overexploitation of resources, these ecosystems and species \u2013for most of them endangered- are protected in French Polynesia. The population is becoming more and more aware of the crucial need to protect the marine environment and its resources, foundations of the local culture and economy. To guarantee the long-term survival and a real protection of these iconic and globally threatened marine species, it is essential to educate local populations and especially youth.<\/p>\n

It is in this context that the project Hei Moana Ocean sentinels<\/em><\/span> was born in order to make science accessible to the general public.<\/p>\n

HEI MOANA<\/span> (the crown, the net of the ocean) is a participative science project dedicated to education, awareness raising and involvement of the general public in observation and protection of threatened marine species and ecosystems in French Polynesia, thanks to training sessions and appropriate tools.<\/p>\n

Hei moana<\/span> is the first structured participative science network dedicated to marine environment in French Polynesia!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>This project, initiated in early 2017, was funded through a grant from BEST2.0 (voluntary scheme for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Territories of European overseas) financed by the European Union and coordinated by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).<\/p>\n
