Location

Olowalu, Maui, Hawaii is a priority site of the Maui Coral Reef Recovery Plan and is supported by the Coral Reef Alliance. With over 30 species of coral, some of which are listed as endangered, Olowalu Reef plays an important role in the local ecosystem.

Spawning corals send out polyps that travel as far as Lana’i and Moloka’i, seeding the reefs in these locations. Therefore, Olowalu Reef is considered a mother reef. It is also a cleaning, feeding, and socializing station for the green sea turtle and manta rays.
