Kids color herbivores for World Oceans Day!

We were at the Maui Ocean Center yesterday for the World Oceans Day celebration along with many other local NGOs and agencies, and had the coloring pages on hand for the Herbivore Coloring Contest. By a wonderful coincidence our table was situated right in front of the Surgeonfishes exhibit, which gave us the opportunity to show kids the actual fishes they were coloring and teach about them. Kids then posed with their drawings AND the fishes (after getting parental permission of course).



Check out the full album of photos of kids and their artwork!

Thanks to the Maui Ocean Center for hosting the event, and to Monika Mira for putting together the contest in support of the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area and the Kaanapali Makai Watch program!
