Join your erosion control colleagues in Hawaii at the Ahupua'a Conference at the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu.

The phrase Ahupua'a is an ancient Hawaiian land division representing from the "mountain to the sea”, wherein were contained all the elements of a self-sustaining community: land for cultivation; food; fresh water; and natural resources. The Ahupua'a was responsibly managed for survival of the community. At the conference, local experts and invited speakers will explore the theme of the relationship between the land and the sea with a focus on erosion and sediment control, and storm water pollution prevention to protect the soil and water resources in a series of technical papers and special sessions in three tracks: Ahupua'a; Erosion Control Basics; and Soils and Vegetation.
