MM works extensively across the ecosystems of the Maunalua region to help restore our Bay’s marine resources. From removing invasive algae, restoring our reefs with thermally resistant corals, outplanting native urchins as a biocontrol to help mitigate the growth of invasive algae, to assessing runoff impacts in the region, we strive to continue to find ways to protect and restore the Bay.
