Malama 'Aina

In Hawaiian, the word malama means “to take care of” and the word 'aina means “land.”

When you’re in Hawai'i, we ask that you practice malama 'aina and pick up your trash; respect the marine life, plants, and animals; and avoid spots that are unsafe.

Hawai'i’s natural resources are precious. It’s up to all of us to help preserve these resources for generations by respecting the 'aina when you visit.
