Our network of partners is vital to the work we do! We put a lot of energy into developing innovative collaboration between community groups, schools, government and other NGOs. In addition to the evolving network pictured below, HOH created the Pu`uloa Strategic Partnership in 2018, collaboration that has collectively brought in $2.5 million dollars of funding to support the bio-cultural restoration of Pu`uloa.

The Pu`uloa Strategic Partnership
The Pu`uloa Strategic Partnership is a group of stakeholders currently involved in natural area and cultural resource management, as well as community engagement, along the Pearl Harbor shoreline.
Initiated by Hui o Ho`ohonua in August of 2019, the Pu`uloa Strategic Partnership seeks to build collaboration that enhances the capacity of all participants to achieve our restoration and management goals. Together, our work is vital to restoring the region to abundance.
To date participating partners have collaborated on high school-graduate student research engagement, native plant propagation, equipment sharing and the development of best practices as 27 acres of invasive mangrove are being removed in makai section of the Honouliuli watershed - work that also involves recovering integrated Hawaiian food systems that historically provided fish, kalo and other staple foods. Pu`uloa Strategic Partners have collaborated on grants bringing in just under one million dollars in funding to support our efforts. Click here to learn more
