SUMMARY:Please Volunteer to Assist with Pre-Rainy Season Mā’alaea Ditch Clean Up on Sunday\, December 27
DESCRIPTION:MĀ’ALAEA\, HI — Looking for ways to give back this holiday season? Maui Nui Marine Resource Council invites the public to help protect marine life and water quality in Mā’alaea Bay by participating in a clean-up of trash that has been accumulating in the Mā’alaea ditch by the Honoapi‘ilani Highway. The clean-up will take place on Sunday\, December 27\, from 8 am – 11 am. Now is the time to remove trash from the ditch before heavy rains arrive and cause the debris to wash into the ocean. \n“Unless we act now\, the trash will flow into the ocean when winter storms arrive\, putting marine life and water quality in Mā’alaea Bay at risk\,” says Tiara Stark\, clean-up coordinator. “We’ll meet at the EV charging stations at the parking lot along the highway between Maui Ocean Center and Carl’s Jr.” \nTrash bags\, gloves\, and facemasks will be provided. \n“To ensure a fun and safe event\, safety precautions such as mask wearing\, social distancing\, and limitations on the number of volunteers will be enforced\,” notes Stark. “Please wear closed toed shoes and long pants; don’t forget your hat\, sunscreen and water bottle.” \n“It feels good to make a difference\,” says Stark. \nTo volunteer for one or more one-hour time slots\, please sign up through this link:\nhttps://bit.ly/MaalaeaCleanUp \nMaui Nui Marine Resource Council is a nonprofit organization working for healthy coral reefs\, clean ocean water and abundant native fish. The organization is working to improve ocean water quality in Mā’alaea Bay through an oyster bioremediation project and a program to reduce sediment runoff from the adjoining Pohakea watershed. To learn more and to Adopt an Oyster to support this work\, please visit www.mauireefs.org.

SUMMARY:Pre-Rainy Season Ma'alaea Ditch Cleanup on Saturday\, December 8
DESCRIPTION:Maui Nui Marine Resource Council is seeking volunteers to help remove trash from a short section of the stormwater ditch along the Honoapi’ilani Highway in Ma’alaea on Saturday\, December 8 from 9 am to 11 am. \nUnless removed soon\, the trash will likely end up in Ma’alaea Bay when winter rains arrive and stormwater flows through the ditch into the ocean. The ditch is located adjacent to the highway and is notorious for accumulating large amounts of man-made debris. \n“The time you volunteer is truly a gift for the ocean\, for the coral reefs and marine wildlife\,” says Amy Hodges\, Program Manager at Maui Nui Marine Resource Council. “We need volunteers to help us now\, to keep all of the accumulated trash out of the ocean.” \nParticipants are asked to meet at 9 am at the parking lot that contains the EV charging stations between Maui Ocean Center and Carl’s Jr. Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants\, and bring a water bottle\, sunscreen and hat. Gloves and trash bags will be provided. \nThe clean-up is part of an overall plan by Maui Nui Marine Resource Council to help improve ocean water quality in Ma’alaea Bay\, home to a sea turtle grazing area\, coral reefs\, a famous surf break\, public fishing area and beaches\, as well as a busy small boat harbor. \nCleaning up Ma’alaea Ditch is one project that Maui Nui Marine Resource Council is undertaking to improve ocean water quality in Ma’alaea Bay. \nThe organization paid for a Stormwater Management Plan for the areas upslope of Ma’alaea Bay to identify additional ways to reduce stormwater runoff laden with sediment and pollutants from flowing into the bay. \nMaui Nui Marine Resource Council is also working on a pilot project to use caged oysters to help improve the water quality in Ma’alaea Harbor. A free presentation about the oyster project will be presented at Maui Nui Marine Resource Council’s December 5 meeting\, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Pacific Whale Foundation’s classrooms. The public is invited\, admission is free and refreshments will be served. \nTo sign up for the Ma’alaea Ditch clean-up\, please email info@mauireefs.org with your name and cell phone number\, so that the team at Maui Nui Marine Resource Council can contact you in the event of rain in Ma’alaea or the West Maui Mountains\, which would result in the postponement of the Ma’alaea Ditch clean-up in the interest of volunteer safety. \nTo learn more about Maui Nui Marine Resource Council\, visit www.mauireefs.org.
