FREE Grab & Go Ocean Learning kits are available at the Lahaina Public Library while supplies last! The kits are FREE and meant to encourage learning at home. The topic: Mālama o ke Kai (Take Care of the Ocean) contains workbooks, brochures, stickers, and more. Topics include: kilo (traditional Hawaiian observation systems); pono (sustainable) fishing practices; taking care of limu (seaweed); understanding and behaving properly in the presence of honu (green sea turtles) and honu ʻea (hawksbill turtle).
The kits are being given out during the start of the Hawaiʻi Department of Education’s fall break for public schools. This a collaboration between the state Division of Aquatic Resources, Hawaii State Public Library System, National Marine Fisheries Service and the sanctuary.
