The Hawaii Conservation Alliance heads up this annual conference. Its main purpose is to raise awareness of Hawaii’s native eco-systems through research, training and education. It provides an annual opportunity for resource managers, the scientific community and the general public to share their experiences and ideas on a very broad range of conservation issues affecting Hawaii and the Pacific. This year’s theme is "Island Ecosystems: The Year of the Reef", but all things related to the science and management of terrestrial and marine ecosystems will be explored and discussed.

This worldwide campaign will motivate people to become more educated and more willing to take action to keep all precious living reefs protected. Some of the wonderful speakers this week are Dr. Sylvia Earle, the founder and science advisor of Deep Ocean Exploration and Research, Dr. Elliott Norse, President of the Marine Conservation Biology Institute, Peter Vitousek, Biology Professor at Stanford University and Bryan Harry, Director ot the Pacific West Region’s National Park Service.
