Coral reefs are unlike anything else on the planet. In addition to providing valuable habitat for fish and other animals, they are incredibly beautiful, with seemingly infinite structures and growth forms. Some of their common names describe this diversity: staghorn, elkhorn, bird’s nest, brain, finger, mushroom, pillar, lettuce, lobed, and tube, to name just a few. Their intricate crevices and three-dimensional structures shelter many species of fish, marine worms, crustaceans, clams, and many other animals and plants, all of which play a unique and vital role in the coral reef ecosystem. Coral reefs are an important food source for the people who live near reefs, and, as nurseries, are vital to the world’s fisheries. Many of the compounds now being used in human medicines, including some that treat cancer, are found on coral reefs, with probably many more yet to be discovered. Coral reefs help humans in many other ways too: generating tourist dollars for communities, and—especially important in our changing climate—acting as natural barriers against storm events like hurricanes, typhoons, and even tsunamis. The annual value of the ecosystem services provided by coral reefs to millions of people is estimated to be over $375 billion. https://www.hawaiiwaiola.com/forms daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1564533075651-Z41WY31VDZ0G105D00KZ/20170805_143104.jpg Forms https://www.hawaiiwaiola.com/training-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1565429914537-OAIPSR78CP2W4XN60R4D/20180518_090953.jpg Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1631143428807-N8G01MT5AGQ6DG7O5YH2/unsplash-image-Gs1mJmK2ixc.jpg Training - Before you begin… Aloha, Welcome to the Hawai’i Wai Ola Hui, we are excited to have you join our team! By joining, you show your dedication to mālama kai and support clean water for reefs and people. The more volunteers we have, the more sites Hawai’i Wai Ola can monitor around the island. This training tool is designed to introduce and teach interested community members how to sample nearshore areas under the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). Training is a multi-step process that begins here! Once the virtual sessions are complete, individuals will coordinate field training within their region to become active citizen science volunteers. https://www.hawaiiwaiola.com/home-impact daily 1.0 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1565426307680-TEKKUZYTD1YWQ6UOTNZ1/IHVB_0312.tif%2Bcopy.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1565437265269-RLBYFLKYNZCV6MWXP4YP/IHVB_0287.tif.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1606851832039-EQPI8IR7HOYTFC8ZOY1D/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/1565425375986-ESU3CR1GB80IHWMO09WG/LVB_2011_059.tif.jpg Home - Who We Are Hawaiʻi Wai Ola is a group of water quality champions that is dedicated to measuring and sharing the status of Moku O Keawe’s ocean water.
