Estuaries, found where freshwater meets the sea, are nurseries for native and endemic fish, home to waterbirds, and gathering places for cultural practices that connect communities to the 'āina. The Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, Coastal Zone Management Program and the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Aquatic Resources have partnered to develop the Hawaiian Estuaries Viewer, the first Statewide map of Hawaiʻi's estuaries. The new Hawaiian Estuaries Viewer makes it easy to explore these unique ecosystems, learn about the coastal wildlife found there, and understand why these places matter to our islands.

Happy World Ocean Day from the CZM program!

World Ocean Day inspires global action in the name of stewarding a healthy ocean and an ultimately more stable climate.

World Ocean Day’s 2025 theme is “Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate”, striving for a sustainable and healthy blue planet.

Native Hawaiians have long understood the importance of stewarding our ocean which provides us with cool breezes, channels for exploration, full stomachs, and peace of mind. The Olelo No`eau which reads “Inā mālama ‘oe i ke kai, mālama no ke kai iā ‘oe” reminds us of our Kuleana (responsibility) of fostering a thriving marine environment. Not only for our benefit but for the benefit of generations to come.
