Hui Maka'āinana o Makana— Kaua'i

jjS

The Hui Maka'āinana o Makana, whose members include lineal descendents of Hā'ena and surrounding ahupua'a in Halele'a, Kaua'i, has endeavored for

two decades to practice and perpetuate Hawaiian culture through ahupua'a-based resource management in Hā'ena. Under the leadership of Presley Wann and Keli'i Alapai since 2012, the Hui worked with the state as well as divers, fishers, surf-

ers, oeean tourism businesses and others to successfully implement the first permanent CBSFA regulations in 2015, a "watershed" moment for fisheries management in Hawai'i. The Hui also partners with the county and state to restore and cultivate historical lo'i kalo and protect family burials and sacred sites on public lands, and is currently working on the implementation of a communitydeveloped management plan to address the impacts of tourism and overuse on Kaua'i's north shore. ■
