As we prepare for the 2026 Legislative Session, we reflect on some of last year’s efforts including championing certain bills, of which two became law: Act 71 establishing ʻōpaeʻula as state shrimp, and Act 96 creating a “green fee” for environmental stewardship. We also celebrated Opening Day with some of our network members, and helped organize Pilina Kanaloa Ocean Day at the Capitol.
