E OLA KE KAI, E OLA KĀKOU ~ AS THE OCEANS THRIVE, SO DO WE
“We have long needed a place that helps people to better understand how to respect native wildlife, while simultaneously gaining a deeper appreciation for the islands. We depend on partnerships like the one we’re sharing with Whalers Village and the Whale Sanctuary to succeed in our conservation efforts, and I couldn’t be more excited about this wonderful place we’ve created.”
Hannah Bernard, Hawaiʻi Wildlife Fund Executive Director
