Project Niu is funded by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) under the Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program. Established in 2002, B-WET aims to create environmentally literate students and teachers through education. The program supports NOAA’s goal of developing a well-informed citizenry involved in decision-making that positively impact our coastal, marine and watershed ecosystems. Individuals who have been educated about Earths’ processes can become effective problem solvers, community leaders and decision-makers charged with managing our island resources.
