The Ocean as Community | A Conversation with Dan Kinzer

Dan Kinzer founded Pacific Blue Studios, a network of high-impact, community-driven, place-based, and youth-powered studios. The network's shared aim is to leverage biomimicry, indigenous perspective, and cutting-edge technologies as vehicles to grow, connect, and amplify a (k)new intergenerational learning ecosystem––to help realize a resilient, regenerative and inclusive future in Hawai'i around the Pacific and across our Blue Planet.

Naiʻa and Dan talk about how programs and people can cultivate a sense of kuleana around the ocean, the metaphor of voyaging, and how nuanced definitions of scale allow managers to glean wisdom from island people and community leaders. He Waʻa He moku, He Moku He Waʻa / The Canoe Is An Island, And The Island Is A Canoe.
