Malama Loko Ea Foundation

Malama Loko Ea Foundation (MLEF) was created in 2009 to restore a 400 year old fishpond and teach future generations of Hawai'i's children traditional sustainability through resource management wisdom of our ancestors. Loko Ea is one of two fishponds located in the Kawailoa ‘ahupua‘a that provided fish for reigning ali‘i or chiefs. MLEF is dedicated to restoring a healthy flourishing ecosystem to Loko Ea through our ongoing habitat restoration program, Kulāiwi Nani. Removal of invasive grass species throughout the pond has been ongoing since 2008, reopening waterways, allowing the native vegetation to thrive, in turn, restoring a balanced ecosystem to the area. Our program initiative plays a vital role not only to Loko Ea itself, but also to the greater Waialua bay where marine life rely heavily on the natural food source provided by the nutrient rich water of Loko Ea. Since 2008 we've hosted over 20,000 volunteer/learners each year, will over 15,000 of them under the age of 18. Our mission is to perpetuate the Native Hawaiian culture through education, land stewardship, and community building, while sustainably restoring our precious natural resources.
