Mā‘ili Beach Park

Ko Olina Resort in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other community partners will host a Get Into Your Sanctuary Day Celebration. The free event will be held on Saturday, August 6th from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with a beach cleanup, marine debris art show, and ocean education and sustainability activities at Mā‘ili Beach Park. Get Into Your Sanctuary raises awareness about the natural and cultural importance of our national marine sanctuaries and marine national monuments and ways that we can protect these special places and our oceans. This year we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the National Marine Sanctuary System, including Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, and the Year of the Limu.

The ʻolelo noʻeau (Hawaiian proverb) “‘A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia” translates to “No task is too big when done together by all.” We can all make a difference collectively to mālama (care for) our world oceans.

This Get Into Your Sanctuary Day Celebration is generously supported by Ko Olina Resort Operators Association, Inc. and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
