Kauaʻi World Ocean Day Cleanup: Māhāʻulepū Beach

The best day of the year is right around the corner #WorldOceanDay! We are so stoked to team up with @malamamahaulepu @kauaioceanawareness and @seasportdivers for this @worldoceanday cleanup at a super special coastline area. “Māhāʻulepū, Kauai is an irreplaceable heritage place. Revealing 5 million years of continuous history, this undeveloped watershed is a living museum; and a research site and habitat for rare and endangered plants and animals where significant events in Hawaiian history played out. It is sacred and legendary to Native Hawaiians, many of whom are connected to this area by ancestral ties and by continuing cultural uses including fishing and gathering. In a rapidly urbanizing region, Māhāʻulepū is an increasingly important piece of rare Hawaiian wilderness, which is under constant threat of commercial development, industrial agriculture, and resulting pollution.” - @malamamahaulepu As we #ProtectTheOcean around this special place, we may feel some sort of connection to those who’ve come before…
