Final Jeopardy Explanation

The PACRC at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo has partnered with the U.S. Navy and Oʻahu Waterkeeper to employ native shellfish species in improving water clarity and quality at Pearl Harbor, a U.S. National Memorial.

This initiative draws on earlier research involving native Hawaiian oysters in Hilo Bay and uses two indigenous oyster species from Pearl Harbor for water enhancement – Dendostrea sandvicensis (Hawaiian oyster) and Pinctada margaritifera (black-lip pearl oyster).
