- Hawaii: Limu Hui 'gathering of gatherers'
- In 2014, at the request of elders (kūpuna) who gather and care for native Hawaiian limu around the islands, Kuaʻāina Ulu ‘Auamo (KUA) partnered with the ʻEwa Limu Project in an initiative to “gather the gatherers.”
- imu (seaweed)was once the third important component of the Hawaiian diet, providing the salad and spices to a typical meal.
- The loss of native limu runs hand-in-hand with the loss of Hawaiian cultural practice and loss of generational ancestral knowledge and their spiritual identity.
