Maui's More Fish in the Sea Festival

The Hawaii Wildlife Fund and the More Fish in the Sea Steering Committee will be holding the Second Annual More Fish in the Sea Festival on Saturday, April 3 this year.

Hawaiian culture is all about the ocean. Whether you are looking back to many hundreds of years ago or today, it should be pretty clear that our way of life is shaped by the fact that Maui is an island and we are surrounded by ocean. It is incredibly rare to find someone that has moved here who does not adore these waters.

We indulge in some of the best surfing and windsurfing in the world, right here on our North Shore. Where would our tourism industry be without tranquil beaches for swimming, coral reefs for snorkeling, and a host of marine life at various depths for scuba. Then there are the humpback whales, the turtles, and the dolphins that can be spotted from the shore.

Without a healthy ocean ecosystem, what would Maui be? Why would it be special? The truth is that we do consume fish from our own waters regularly. There are many restaurants that receive locally caught fish daily for the healthiest and freshest seafood meals. Our supermarkets also include fresh caught fish from local waters. For this reason, it is important that we closely monitor consumption in order to build a sustainable future for our ocean ecosystem as well as ourselves.

This is why the More Fish in the Sea Festival is an exciting event. The celebration includes anyone who wants to join in and discuss current efforts to maintain healthy fish populations. The Hawaii Wildlife Fund and the Steering Committee have provided hands-on opportunities for you to help with their efforts.

As with any true Hawaiian celebration, there will be local music and food. There will also be films, action projects, kids games and other interesting things to do.

All you need to do is show up at the Maui Community College on April 3rd, between 10a.m. and 9p.m. Click here for more details.
