About Waimānalo limu hui

The Waimānalo Limu Hui is a community based group made up primarily of Waimānalo Residents who seek to replenish the once bountiful supply of limu found in Waimānalo Bay. Under the guidance of kupuna and other limu practitioners, we’re taking one of the most aggressive approaches in the state at restoring the limu population back to the east side of O’ahu. By planting limu in the bay, we’ve noticed an increase in the fish population and a greater sense of community with fellow Waimānalo residents coming out to participate in our efforts. We’ve joined up with other community groups and schools within and outside of the Waimānalo Ahupua’a.
