Aloha, E Komo Mai! Welcome to Waikalua Loko Fishpond, lovingly preserved and managed from 1995-2015 by Kia `I Loko (caretakers) at the Waikalua Loko Fishpond Preservation Society (WLFPS) and stewarded now by The Pacific American Foundation.
For two decades, an intensive effort by students, community groups, public and private partners, and individual members of the greater community, breathed new life back into the 400 year old fishpond. As each stone was put back on the wall and each native plant took root, a foundation was laid for a healthier and sustainable future, honoring the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Kāne‘ohe ahupua’a.
In 2016, the board of directors of the WLFPS declared their mission was successfully completed, and the fishpond was given to the Pacific American Foundation for future care and preservation.
