Congratulations to Cindi Punihaole and the Kahalu’u Bay Education Center for Their Dedication to Coastal Conservation
The Friends of Hanauma Bay extend our heartfelt congratulations to Cindi Punihaole and the Kahaluʻu Bay Education Center for their leadership in implementing the initiative to temporarily close Kahaluʻu Beach Park in order to preserve its coral reefs. This bold step is a testament to their commitment to marine conservation for the Big Island.
By recognizing the importance of protecting the delicate ecosystem of Kahaluʻu Beach Park, particularly the reproduction of cauliflower coral, Cindi Punihaole and the Kahalu’u Bay Education Center have demonstrated commendable dedication to the sustainable management of our coastal environments. Their proactive approach not only safeguards the biodiversity of our oceans but also sets a powerful precedent for responsible stewardship among communities worldwide.
