    FRONT PAGE New Life at Kahalu‘u: Remembering the Past and Embracing the Future Photo: TKC’s leadership team celebrates the opening of the Kahalu‘u Bay Education Center on December 3, 2011. From left to right: Roberta Chu, President of the Board of Directors; Elizabeth Cole, Deputy Director; and Matt Hamabata, Executive Director. It's my opinion that when people see and understand the integrity of a native point of view with a scientific and spiritual essence to it, then there's pause to create questions of how. For example, how can we care and how can we expand this caring attitude to all other aspects of our relationships with the world. The renewal efforts at Keauhou-Kahalu‘u make visible the connections between mauka and makai (mountain and sea)…indeed, they make it clear that, yes, we have all come via the great waters of life. —Al Lagunero, Hawaiian muralist who created the painting that graces the Kahalu‘u Bay Education Center van In 2006, Sara Peck of UH Sea Grant and community members approached The Kohala Center (TKC) and asked if we could help sustain and expand the ReefTeach program she created and implemented at Kahalu‘u Bay. This program educates visitors about how to take care of the coral reef and natural resources in the bay. Visitors, not knowing any better, were trampling on the live corals and killing them. Between 350,000 – 400,000 visitors visit Kahalu‘u yearly, attracted by the shallow waters and easy access to the bay’s dynamic reef environment. With the help of our partners at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association), HTA (Hawai‘i Tourism Authority), and KIC (Kamehameha Investment Corporation), TKC adopted the ReefTeach program at the bay and began recruiting volunteers to help educate visitors on proper reef etiquette.
