Hui! Welcome to Mālama Hulēʻia.
Our Mission
At Mālama Hulēʻia, we educate and lead community efforts to remove invasive mangrove along the Hulē‘ia river, re-establish native wetland ecosystems, manage Alakoko Fishpond, and engage the community through environmental stewardship programs that honor Hawaiian culture and values.
E Kū Ana Ka Paia—Success!
We did it! A very special 5-Year Anniversary Workday to restore Alakoko Fishpond’s unique 2,700-ft kuapā (wall)! 60+ years of challenges—mangroves, storms, and breaches. At the E Kū Ana Ka Paia event, our community showed out in a big way. Event recap up in the blog!
Build With Us.
Mālama Hulē’ia needs your generous support to advance our mission. We’ve made significant progress over the past several years, but there’s still a lot of work to be done⏤from restoring the original kuapa (fishpond wall) to expanding our environmental education programs.
