The Hui Mālama Loko iʻa (Hui) is a growing consortium of fishpond practitioners and organizations from across ka paeʻāina o Hawaiʻi (the Hawaiian archipelago). The Hui came into existence in 2004 as an opportunity for practitioners, organizations and their supporters to empower each other and leverage their skills, knowledge and resources related to loko iʻa restoration and management. KUA recently received a grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Conservation International’s Hawai’i Fish Trust to support and build the capacity and operational structure of the Hui.
