Louis Herman, University of Hawaii at West Oahu professor
Herman said he has known the producer and star of the documentary Craig Foster for over 20 years.
Foster consulted with Herman and even interviewed him for the movie about the power of immersive wilderness and more. But the interviews from Herman and others were not included to keep the narrative on Foster’s relationship with the octopus.

“I think the main star is the octopus and the ocean,” Herman said. “What I do as a philosopher and a teacher, a political activist is explain things and make connections between the small story and the big story and the larger situation. But that doesn’t necessarily belong in the film.”

DLNR Has Transferred More Than 19,000 Acres To Use For Agriculture - Honolulu Civil Beat
The Legislature ordered the transfers in the early 2000s to help boost ag production. Reading time: 4 minutes.
A program to make more state agricultural lands available for farming and ranching has made progress in the last decade, according to the head of the state agency in charge of those land transfers.
Department of Land and Natural Resources Director Suzanne Case told state lawmakers Wednesday that her department has transferred more than 19,000 acres to the Department of Agriculture.
The land transfers were ordered under a law that passed the Legislature in 2003 called Act 90. The idea was that those lands, which were already classified for agricultural use, could be better managed and utilized by the DOA, which already works with farmers and has expertise in agriculture.
