This document outlines mapping projects in Kona, Hawaii led by Lawrence Rice. It describes several student mapping projects focused on natural resources, cultural sites, and marine environments. The projects integrate skills in GPS, GIS, surveying, and more. They are partnerships between schools and organizations to document locations while learning about Hawaiian culture and the environment. The goals are to map areas, identify species and sites, and develop students' technology and field skills through place-based learning.
