Mālama Maunalua Limu T-Shirt Series Fundraiser

About this campaign

Mālama Maunalua is releasing a brand new limu (algae) t-shirt design featuring nine of the common limu species found in Maunalua Bay that we are actively working to restore and monitor through our Habitat Restoration & Huki Programs. These limu include: Pūako'ako'a/'Ēkaha (Halimeda discoidea), Wāwae'iole (Codium edule), Pepeiao (Padina sp.), Hulu manu/moa (Caulerpa sertularioides), Kala (Sargassum echinocarpum), Spyridia filamentosa, Alani (Dictyota sandvicensis), Manauea (Gracilaria coronopifolia), & Kohu (Asparagopsis taxiformis). Support Mālama Maunalua’s limu restoration and education efforts by purchasing your own limited-time limu t-shirt today!

Since Mālama Maunalua's inception in 2005, our impacts through the Huki Project have been tremendous. With the help of over 37,000 volunteers, we have removed over 4 million pounds of invasive algae across 27+ acres of Maunalua Bay that we actively work to restore and have donated $3.7 million worth of soil amendment for area farms. By purchasing a t-shirt this month, you will help us continue to host free educational huki events for school groups and community organizations.
