Mokumanamana Island
The Northwest Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Network is comprised of organizations in Hawai`i and on the Mainland with a common interest in long-term protection and conservation of the NWHI.
For many years, the member organizations of the NWHI Network have worked collectively and individually with state and federal agencies and political leaders in Hawai`i and Washington DC to advocate for measures adequate to protect this globally significant region. Using a variety of tools including science, print and electronic media, advocacy, grassroots organizing and public education, Network members have brought public attention to the resources and values of the NWHI.
In the long term, Network members seek to end commercial and extractive uses of the NWHI, ensure that administrative, educational and scientific activities are minimally disruptive, and to support a continuation of traditional Native Hawaiian cultural practices.
