Our kuleana (responsibility) is to care for and protect the marine life that is uniquely Hawai‘i's, is essential to coral reef health, and supports generations of fishers and families throughout Hawai‘i nei.
Please join us as we work to keep Hawai‘i's reef fishes on their native reefs, for the benefit of all, and protect them from
the wildlife pet trade that cares only about profits at treats them like cut flowers that are disposable and easily replaced.
