Aloha!

At Mālama Hulē’ia, 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.

How to Help

We’ve made significant progress, but there’s still a lot of work to be done⏤from restoring the original rock wall to expanding environmental education programs. Please support our work.

How Old is Alakoko Fishpond?

The best available evidence suggests that the Alakoko Fishpond was established about 600 years ago and that it was built by constructing a wall that cut off a bend in the Hulē`ia River.
