IN THE FIELD | Kaho'olawe

COMMUNITY | 10th Annual MLK Jr. Day of Service
MAHALO to the 180 volunteers who joined us for our 10th annual MLK Service Day this year at Maunalua Bay with Pono Pacific Land Management LLC and Mālama Maunalua. Together, we pulled a record 10,000 lbs. of invasive algae from the bay. A BIG mahalo also goes out to our event sponsors (Locations Foundation, La Tour Cafe, Shaka Tea and Kona Brewing Co.) for feeding our volunteers and making the day a success! See photos from the event here. (Aerial photo credit: Locations Foundation)
