Get Involved & Take Action~ How You Can Make a Difference

Share your thoughts on the future of marine management in Hawaii...

Join a movement 
​West Maui Kumuwai

Picture
Our aim is to encourage all of us on West Maui to reduce polluted runoff, which ultimately affects the health of our ocean. We’re talking about everyday things at home or in our yard, like the type of fertilizer we use, picking up after your pooch, and pointing sprinklers away from your neighbor’s driveway—and back on your lawn. Through community events and grassroots outreach, we ask folks to pledge their commitment, and we help make that commitment easy enough to do.  Follow on Facebook or www.westmauikumuwai.org

Get smart about stormwater

The County of Maui works in many ways to protect storm water and receiving waters from pollutants that could negatively impact receiving water quality. The County’s goal is to work with community individuals, businesses, large landowners, and State and Federal agencies to foster joint responsibility and positive action to protect our precious surface water resources. https://www.mauicounty.gov/2129/Storm-Water-Management-Program
