Mālama I Ke Kai Speaker SeriesAloha, we hosted the Mālama I Ke Kai Speaker Series from 2021-2023! The virtual speaker series was a way to connect during the COVID pandemic, free to the public. Topics include case studies and experiences of indigenous and local community management of marine areas, co-management, replenishment and protected area planning, and community engagement. The wisdom of these talks lives on via their recordings - please continue to enjoy them! Mahalo!
Watch our video "Connecting Communities in the Time of COVID-19" featured at the 2022 Hawai'i Conservation Conference where the Network recaps how our Speaker Series kept us all connected during the isolating years of the pandemic. As Aunty Maile says in the film, "Connections are the lifeforce that drive us to continue our work."
The Maui Nui Makai Network’s Mālama I Ke Kai: Speaker Series is meant to inspire and inform Hawaiʻi community leaders and is companion to the Maui Nui Makai Network's Mālama I Ke Kai: Community Action Guide released in 2020.

One of the goals of the Maui Nui Makai Network is to grow community makai (seaward) management to every moku (district) in Maui Nui. Here we offer some tools and values that have helped our community groups organize and move into action towards makai management, and invite you to read and share this information with your communities. Please contact the Network Coordinator with any questions.
