Princeville Moʻolelo Free Lecture: “What’s the Fuss About Fallout?”
2025-08-19 17:00 - 18:30 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Princeville Community Center, 4334 Emmalani Rd., Princeville, HI, 96722, United States
The Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, as Jacqueline Nelson, Program Manager with Save Our Shearwaters, returns with important information about how we can help protect seabirds.
Have you heard of fallout season? Why does everyone keep referring to it as a big deal? Well, from September to December each year, thousands of fledgling shearwaters and petrels make their first journey out to sea from the safety of their burrows. However, their first flight isn’t always so simple. They are instinctually guided by the light of the moon out to the ocean, but lights from urbanization can cause them to become disoriented and land in inappropriate locations. Once grounded they are usually unable to take flight again and become vulnerable to a wide variety of threats. This is referred to as “fallout”, impacting hundreds of light-attracted shearwaters on Kaua‘i each year.
With fallout season around the corner, Jacqueline will explain this phenomenon, how the public can help, volunteer opportunities and key factors affecting fallout numbers for 2025. Additionally, she will cover wildlife rehabilitation regulations and basic wildlife laws that govern this type of conservation work.
BIO: Jacqueline Nelson graduated from Virginia Tech in 2017 with a BA in Public Relations and BS in Natural Resource Conservation and Recreation Management. She has been working for SOS since 2018 when she started as a Wildlife Rehabilitation Technician but now holds the title of Senior Program Manager. Over the years, she has aided in the rescue and rehabilitation of over 3,500 patients that have come through SOS’s doors. As Program Manager, you can find her doing one of a hundred different jobs at any time including developing rehabilitation protocols, managing social media accounts, attending outreach events, consulting on patient cases, answering the hotline, grant writing, and more.
Free Lecture Series: Tuesday, August 19, 2025 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Princeville Community Center. The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For more information, visit http://www.kauairefuges.org/princeville-moolelo.

Together, they are presenting free informative “talk story” events monthly in the Princeville Community Center to share the work and stories of conservation partners, Hawaiian cultural practitioners and more.
