We need your help to save Hawaii’s coral reefs.  The future of our local reefs depends inherently on the actions you take today.  Here’s what you can do:

• Use organic fertilizers and biodegradable detergents.  Chemicals from fertilizers and cleaning products feed invasive algae that can smother and kill coral reefs.
• Keep yard waste and debris out of storm drains and waterways.  What’s on land today will be on our reefs tomorrow.  Even green waste washing down streams and storm drains can smother coral reefs.
• Catch only the fish you need and leave the rest for tomorrow.  Fish keep the reef healthy.
• Enter the ocean through sandy areas and float over corals from a safe distance.  Walking on or touching corals will hurt these living animals that eat, grow and reproduce.
