2026 is Makahiki Kuleana Kahakai: the Year of Our Coastal Kuleana.

Discover Hawaiʻi’s living shoreline, learning about limu, coral reefs, native fish, and how nearshore ecosystems support life across our islands. A local expert will share insights into nearby coastal habitats, the species that depend on them, along with hands-on ways to help protect, restore our waters through conservation and volunteer efforts. This free, 30-minute program is suitable for all ages.

Presented by the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Division of Forestry and Wildlife, in partnership with local conservation organizations.
