Maui Fish Pond Association - Malama ke Kai, Malama Aina

Fishponds and their remnants are found throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Moloka`i is known to have many laced upon its coastline while other islands have few scattered along their shores.On Maui, Ko`ie`ie is one of the most accessible and approachable fishponds and is open to the public. Others are privately owned or have barely visible footprints.

HAPPY 64th BIRTHDAY KIMOKEO KAPAHULEHUA!

On December 15th, ‘Ao‘ao O Na Loko I‘a O Maui’s president, Kimokeo Kapahulehua, will turn 64 years young! Kimokeo is an icon within Maui’s communities, has dedicated his life toward revitalizing our Hawaiian culture through native plant and fishpond restorations and has made remarkable contributions in Hawaiian canoe voyaging. Above all else, his is a prime example of someone who lives a life of "aloha".

Celebrate his 64th birthday and give a gift of $64, $640, or any other generous amount toward the revitalization of Ko‘ie‘ie Fishpond, a project that he has been leading for over a decade. To make your donation, click on the "1 Rock at a Time" button on the left and Kimokeo will be notified of your gift. Our goal is to raise at least $10,000 throughout December.

Also, we will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday, December 17th as we work to restore 64 feet of the fishpond’s wall. Birthday donations will be accepted that day and you can work side-by-side with Kimokeo as we rebuild the fishpond’s wall from 8 a.m. till pau. For more information, email, koieie@mauifishpond.com.
