Ua hōʻike pū ʻo ia i ke koʻikoʻi o ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻike kuʻuna Hawaiʻi no ka limu a me ka pilina o ia ʻike i ka ʻepekema hou.

 Ka Hana Noiʻi 
Ua kālele kāna hana noiʻi i:
 Ka taxonomy o nā limu o ka Moana Pākīpika
 Ka ethnobotany o nā limu Hawaiʻi
 Nā pilina ma waena o nā ʻano limu like ʻole
 Ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o ka limu ma ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi
 Ka mālama ʻana i nā limu o Hawaiʻi

 Nā Hanana Koʻikoʻi 
 Ka wahine mua i loaʻa ka Ph.D. ma ka Biology mai UC Berkeley
 Ka polopeka mua o ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi ma ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi
 Ua ʻike ʻo ia ma kahi o 200 mau ʻano limu hou
