Huilua Fishpond Work Days at ʻAhupuaʻa O Kahana State Park
October 12 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Huilua Loko iʻa (Fishpond), in Kahana Bay on the Island of Oahu, illustrates the unique aquafarming practices of the Hawaiian people. Out of the estimated 97 fishponds once on the coast of Oahu, Huilua is one of only six that still exists. The Huilua Fishpond had a 500-foot rock seawall attached to the shoreline that encircled 7 acres of Kahana Bay near the mouth of Kahana Stream. Huilua has been impacted by a changing landscape affecting stream flow, building sediment in the fish pond and at the river mouth abutting the fish pond, altering wave interaction on the walls, and currents that filter into the pond. Come learn about the traditional uses of the loko iʻa by Kahana ʻohana, and kōkua as they remove invasive species, sand, silt and debris that enter the pond.
