Creating impactful, Indigenous-led solutions to protect biodiversity in the Pacific Islands
Conservation International-Hawai‘i merges the latest science with traditional knowledge to protect Hawai‘i’s rich marine resources and chart a more sustainable future for the island’s people.
To help Hawai‘i’s fish populations thrive, we work closely with local fishing communities and policymakers to promote responsible fishing techniques, enforce illegal netting regulations and support collaborative management of Hawai‘i’s fisheries. We help restore degraded coastal habitats and traditional fishponds by designing and implementing ridge-to-reef conservation solutions that link the protection of land and coastal ecosystems. And we work directly with the local seafood industry to develop programs that track seafood from hook to plate, creating financial incentives for producers to provide consumers with a safe, healthy supply of sustainably harvested seafood.
By combining site-specific conservation efforts with innovative policy work and market-based solutions, we're helping bring abundance back to Hawai‘i’s coastal resources — for the benefit of all Hawaiians.
