RE: Tim Garcia & Robena exhibit
Water, water, everywhere, in canvas, stone, metal and wood… filled with the life force that abounds within, is the focus of the latest artwork by Tim Ga...rcia and Robena, who will be showcasing their latest collection of artwork at Viewpoints Gallery in Makawao, beginning Thursday, November 12th with an Opening Reception starting at 5:oo pm. Their exhibit, inspired by the Ocean, has provided both artists with an inexhaustible source of beauty, power, and intrigue. Interpreting their vision with brush and chisel, both artists have approached this primordial element and unifying theme with singularly unique perspectives and preternatural abilities.
Robena, an artist known for her large-scale paintings, has titled her show ‘The Delicate Sea’, and Tim Garcia, a sculptor, is titling his efforts ‘Ocean Rhythms – Feminine Forms’. Individually, the strength of their collections is impressive, however, collectively, they’re extraordinary, as one is visually transported into another world filled with awe and wonder.
Tim Garcia has been inspired by the energies imbued in the ocean, and the artistically correlated shapes that are manifest within the female form. Robena was moved by the rich intricacies of life in the sea that normally escapes our attention, but in her hands and with her vision, come to the forefront with endearing distinction.
The artists have been so taken by their muse, that they are dedicating a portion of the proceeds from their exhibit to Project S.E.A. Link, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about this wondrous, fragile, and extremely important resource.
Viewpoints Gallery is located in the Courtyard, in Makawao, Maui, Hawaii; is open seven days a week from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm; and can be reached at 808-572-5979.

"...six ‘rules of thumb’ for keeping coral ecosystems viable...
1. allow margins of error in extent and nature of protection, as insurance against unforeseen threats;
2. spread risks among areas;
3. aim to create networks of protected areas which (a) protect all the main types of reef creatures, processes and connections,... known and unknown; (b) achieve sufficient protection for each type of reef habitat type, and for the whole region; (c) achieve maximum protection for all reef processes (d) contain several examples of particular reef types to spread the risk;
4. protect whole reefs where possible; place buffer zones around core areas;
5. allow for reef species to spread over a range of distances, especially 20–30 km; and
6. use a range of conservation approaches, including marine protected areas."

The first Hawai'i Snapshot Day event was held as part of World Water Monitoring Month and International Year of the Reef. Snapshot Day provides a picture, or “snapshot” of water quality conditions at one point in time. Over 130 volunteers participated in this inaugural event on four islands; 38 volunteers attended the pre-training for the event a week prior.

from Robin Knox:
2nd Annual Fall Snapshot Day at Kahekili!
WHAT: Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring: Visual Assessment and Land-based Pollution Inventory;
Integrated Ecosystem Management Research- Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area
WHEN: October 3 National Snapshot Day
MORE DETAILS: The Kahekili Herbivore Fisherie...s Management Area is located in West Maui from Keke'a Point (Black Rock) to the southern edge of Honokowai Park. The reef there is impacted by overgrowth of algae. Management strategies include increasing fish that eat the algae and reducing land-based pollution that feeds the algae. Water quality monitoring volunteers will be trained to use a visual assessment protocol that draws attention to the activities on land as well as the appearance of the water. In association with community partners, CORAL is currently developing an online database to receive these data. In recognition of National Snapshot Day we will use digital cameras and global positioning systems (GPS) to locate and document stormwater conveyances, drains, pipes, and other visual evidence of land-based pollution that can be observed readily from the public shoreline. These visual assessments and inventory of potential discharge locations will be useful to Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative research scientists in characterizing the contributions of land-based pollution at Kahekili.
