Maui Nui Makai Network
Kipahulu Ohana is one of the founding members of the Maui Nui Community Managed Makai Area Learning Network, AKA Maui Nui Makai Network, established in 2012 by six communities on Maui, Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i that are actively involved in managing our shoreline resources based on traditional cultural practices. The Network seeks to protect and restore the healthy coastal and marine ecosystems that the people of Maui Nui depend on. Our purpose is to share and learn from our diverse experiences, lessons, and best practices to help member sites to mālama specific makai areas. The other five community sites are Mo‘omomi on Moloka‘i, Maunalei on Lana‘i, Polanui Hiu in West Maui, Wailuku/Kahului in Central Maui, and Mu‘olea in East Maui.
