Get Involved

Community involvement is key to achieve our shared vision of healthy marine ecosystems with abundant resources. By working with others in your community, you can help inform the design of your island’s marine management strategies by identifying locally-important resources and providing ideas about what kind of management could work well for each area.

Your involvement will help determine the future use of Hawai‘i’s nearshore waters and its resources.

Hawai‘i Island Residents – Share your management priorities and submit Navigation Team feedback and nominations

Holomua launched on Hawai‘i Island in May 2026 with a series of 7 Talk Story sessions. If you were not able to attend, or have more you would like to share, there is still time. Hawaiʻi Island residents are encouraged to share feedback to help inform the process for Hawaiʻi Island from the beginning and provide input on the formation of the island Navigation Team(s).  

The Navigation Team is a community-nominated team comprised of local residents that will collaboratively create an island-based management strategy to support sustainable harvesting and healthy reefs. This team will represent various ocean user groups and perspectives, and will be tasked with engaging frequently with their respective communities throughout the planning process. Visit the Hawai‘i Island Navigation Team page to learn more. 

Navigation Team nominations and input on the Team’s formation, organization, and representation, along with community management priorities, can be submitted through this form.  

Check out our Hawai’i Island Talk Story Events page to learn more about the sessions and check back for updates as the process begins.
