West Maui
West Maui was chosen as our meeting location for its national and local significance. The Hawai’i Coral Reef Strategy identified the coral reef ecosystem along the West Maui region as a priority management area. The US Coral Reef Task Force designated the West Maui Watershed Plan as the priority partnership in the Pacific in 2011. The goal in the area is to improve the overall health of coral reefs, nearshore waters and watersheds, from the summit of Pu’u Kukui to the outer reef, incorporating holistic resource management at the watershed or ahupua’a level. This goal is being addressed through actions from 10 partnership programs. Learn more about the Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy.
