Founded in 1990, Friends of Hanauma Bay is dedicated to conserving the coastal and marine environments of Hanauma Bay, Hawaii's first Marine Life Conservation District. This organization emphasizes stewardship of natural resources while engaging the community in educational outreach and advocacy for marine conservation. With unique coral formations and over 450 fish species, Hanauma Bay is a fragile ecosystem that requires protection from over-tourism and environmental stressors.
