University of Hawaii's 'Voice of the Sea' Wins Regional Emmy on October 30 for Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine Debris Episode
Honolulu, Hawaii — The University of Hawaii announced on October 30 that "Voice of the Sea," the television series produced by the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program, has won a regional Emmy Award for its episode "Papahanaumokuakea Marine Debris Project," in the category of Environment/Science — News / Long Form Content.
The episode takes viewers to the remote Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, which most people will never visit, and documents the demanding work of crews removing massive amounts of plastic pollution from the islands and waters, while presenting the local wildlife and the sacred cultural significance of the place to Hawaiian communities.
Host and producer Kanesa Duncan Seraphin said the episode's heart is "malama aina" — people in Hawaii caring for the places that sustain them. Producer Thor Seraphin, Duncan Seraphin and project photojournalist Andrew Sullivan-Haskins recently received their statuettes. The award came from the San Francisco/Northern California chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which includes Hawaii and Guam.
The series has more than 70 award-winning episodes, with honors including Emmys and Tellys. "Voice of the Sea" airs on KFVE on Saturdays and Sundays at 6 p.m., and episodes are also available on the series website.
