Māhāʻulepū Cleanup Volunteer Signup

Mahalo for your interest in cleaning Kauai's coastlines! We are thankful for people like you who are actively protecting the ocean! 

As you may know, this southern coastline of Kaua'i historically gets a lot of marine debris. Due to the road closures, this marine debris is difficult to remove from the beach and poses significant threats to the island's ecosystem. 

Fortunately, Grove Farm has granted us permission to enter the area to haul out the marine debris we clean up! We are going to park, meet, and hike in from CJM stables. We will have a truck at Kawailoa Bay that will haul out any debris from there or Ha'ula Bay, where a grounded vessels remains are scattered and burried in the sandy beach cove.

For any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email hoomalukekai@gmail.com, or call/text Tim at (808) 495-6836.
