Oceanit Research Foundation


The Oceanit Research Foundation is focused on positively impacting our communities through lifelong learning, innovative STEM curriculum, and community work that benefits all learners, young and old.

SURF embodies our core mission that aims to empower organizations and communities around Hawai’i—and the world—to apply disruptive innovation mindsets to climate issues, public education, and lifelong learning. This novel social impact effort is spearheaded by members of the Oceanit Ohana and community stakeholders who are passionate about creating the future for our next generation.

SURF is currently focused on climate change adaptation education and strategies for resilient and sustainable Hawai’i coastal communities. Through various projects around the Hawaiian Islands, we work with State and Local government, along with local students, to educate on the issues of sea level rise, coastal erosion, and responsible adaptation strategies for climate resilience. The Foundation is currently working on Maui to create a student-driven “Climate Change Toolkit” for the Paia Mantokuji temple.
