2026 is Makahiki Kuleana Kahakai: the Year of Our Coastal Kuleana. We’re celebrating the richness of our coastal ecosystems, the ways that coasts connect us as people, and our role in helping to care for our coasts.

What kuleana do we have to our coasts? As island communities, we are stewards of our shores, helping ensure that our coastlines are clean, that we recreate responsibly, and that our coastal ecosystems and species can be sustained into the future. Explore below to find coastal volunteer opportunities or ways in which you can help care for our coasts through everyday practice.
