Active Monitoring + Presence
Our Hoa ʻĀina team continues to be on the ground at Kīholo seven days a week. In collaboration with our partners, these Hoa ʻĀina, or “friends of the land” monitor and protect natural and cultural resources and educate visitors to the reserve. Our primary Hoa ʻĀina are Andrew Hanano, Leighton Hind, and Sandy Kamaka. Also, the State of Hawai`i Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement officers are regularly monitoring Kīholo and issuing citations for those not actively hiking or engaged in permitted ocean activities. There are no emergency or lifeguard services at Kīholo. In case of emergency, call 911.
