The folks at Body Glove say the focus is to involve the community in activities that protect the environment as well as perpetuate cultural practices and values. The hope is that the youth will become the future stewards of the island’s land and water resources.

The event was also a chance to celebrate the preservation of this Shoreline as a public beach park. Kohanaiki was officially dedicated to the county last year, after a long legal battle to save it from development.
