Michael Reyes and Robin Knox received the Wiliwili Warrior award from KCA for many years of extraordinary efforts to protect our natural environment at KCA’s public meeting November 19, 2024 at Pro Arts Maui.

KCA board member John Laney introduced the new project “South Maui’s Voice”. Join the project!

Michael Reyes presented the work done so far to use recycled wastewater to irrigate the slopes above Kīhei to grow native plants and protect Kīhei from flooding and fire, as well as the long-term project to divert all of the recycled wastewater for irrigation instead of polluting the ocean.
