Join us in shaping a future where every member of West Hawaiʻi's diverse community, from residents to tourists, plays a stronger role in understanding, protecting, and restoring our precious coral reefs through innovative education and hands-on experiences.
Our vision for a sustainable West Hawaiʻi is built upon an interconnected network of reef stewards. This vision relies on comprehensive ridge to reef education informed by cultural heritage and the latest scientific understanding.
