In 2024, HAMER made waves of progress—from expanding our statewide manta ray and Hawksbill sea turtle catalogs to securing four new Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) for Hawaii’s gentle giants. Our turtle rescue efforts led to countless successful disentanglements, while beach and reef cleanups cleared over 44,617 feet of fishing line and thousands of pounds of debris. We also reached a groundbreaking milestone with the completion of the Living Building Challenge home concept design, proving that sustainability and community resilience go hand in hand. Every success is a testament to our dedicated volunteers, researchers, and supporters who continue to protect Hawaii’s marine ecosystems. Together, we’re shaping a healthier ocean and a brighter future!
