Public education and outreach are one of the principal purposes of the Malama Kai Foundation. An educated public is necessary to sustain our coastal and marine resources in perpetuity.
People need to understand the ecology and biology of these resources, the negative impacts humans can have on these resources, and what we can do to protect these valuable resources.
Malama Kai Foundation supports public education and outreach in a number of ways, including co-sponsoring Reef Talk, a public lecture series, producing educational videos, organizing and administering training programs promoting skills to manage sustainable development of our coastal and marine environment, and supporting curriculum development and summer and after-school programs for kids.
