KĀKO'O MEMBERS

The role of Kāko'o (supporter) organizations is like that of crustose coralline algae, the pink algae that cements coral reefs together. They are active participants in the Network, handling coordination and providing technical expertise, which allows the passion and commitment of our Alaka'i and Haumāna Members to drive everything forward.
