The first thing I noticed was the warning banner on this article. It was lengthy and a bit disorganized so I think a lot of improvements could be made.

Evaluate the article
GEO 423 Student Evaluation of an Article. Hello, my name is Claire and I have some suggestions for this article that I would like to share. I think that some of the content needs to be updated, especially since environmental conditions are ever-changing. I would also suggest that some sections be made more concise as it is very lengthy and a daunting read. We also must make sure that all information is properly cited and relevant to the article. I noticed a few paragraphs with none or few citations. I also feel that Indigenous communities could be better represented in the local governance section. For example, a community in Hā'ena, Kaua'i has recently shown the benefits to the land and the community of local governance and policies with the environment at the forefront. This example can be read about in Mehana Vaughanʻs book Kaiāulu: Gathering Tides. I look forward to collaborating to improve this article!
