Learn All About Sharks

The whitetip reef shark — manō lālākea — is a powerful and graceful resident of our reef ecosystem. With their sleek bodies and distinctive white-tipped fins, these sharks are revered in Hawaiian culture and often associated with protection and guidance. Unlike many other sharks, the whitetip reef shark can rest still on the ocean floor, a behavior rarely seen in other species. They play a vital role in keeping reef communities in balance.

During our Manō (Shark) Week celebration, join us to learn how the manō contributes to ocean health and how we can mālama (care for) our marine ʻohana.
