Kuleana
2026 is Makahiki Kuleana Kahakai: the Year of Our Coastal Kuleana. We’re celebrating the richness of our coastal ecosystems, the ways that coasts connect us as people, and our role in helping to care for our coasts.

Events
Embrace your coastal kuleana by joining a beach cleanup, volunteering to remove weeds, or helping to plant native plants. Or, join one of our celebratory events and come connect with campaign partners and learn more about our connections to coasts. Our calendar aims to provide accurate information for events run by various conservation groups, but always double-check with the specific organization you want to volunteer with to ensure that their event dates and times haven’t changed.
If you’re a nonprofit hosting coastal volunteer events and would like your event listed on our calendar, contact us here. We’re looking for partners to host events on June 6, 2026 as part of a Statewide Community Restoration Day. Click here to learn more and sign up to host an event.
