The West Maui Kumuwai Campaign is off to a great start in 2015, with our Advisory Group expanding and meeting for the first time since the campaign became locally-managed on Maui. We couldn’t be more excited about our team! Mahalo to all the individuals and organizations supporting this movement for ocean health – so much expertise and enthusiasm all around!
