Special Highlights
Maka‘ala Bay: Lessons from the Sea
Join the fun with Nā Kama Kai’s all new animated series Maka‘ala Bay: Lessons from the Sea. Each episode is based on Nā Kama Kai’s five educational pillars, Kai Palekana (Ocean Safety), Hoʻokele (Wayfinding), Holokai (Ocean Experience), Waʻa (Canoe Paddling) and Mālama Kai (Conservation/Stewardship).
You’ll meet our ocean Keiki I‘o a Hawksbill Turtle, Ma’o the Green Sea Turtle, Sila the Hawaiian Monk Seal and little ʻAʻama the black crab. Each episode is filled with adventure, excitement and wonder as they learn about the ʻĀina and the Kai. Along the way you will also meet ʻAnakē Manō, ʻAnakala Wa‘a and our very own ʻAnakala Heʻe who ends each episode with a mele (song) that recaps what was learned.
