The contributors of our lawa’ia pono council have lived their full lives in Kailua, and provide valuable insight and historical information about the health of our ecosystem.  We share a mutual concern that the keiki do not have the opportunity to get their diving gear and spear some fish with friends because the near shore fishery no longer has an adequate supply of fish. From a cultural standpoint, keiki not having a relationship with this ecosystem means our community is losing another part of the Hawaiian culture.
