About
Kakahai‘a National Wildlife Refuge on the island of Moloka‘i was established in 1976 to permanently protect wetland habitat for endangered waterbirds, primarily Hawaiian stilt and Hawaiian coot, and to provide habitat for wintering migratory wetland birds. The refuge is managed as part of the Maui Complex, which is an administrative grouping of refuges managed from a central office. Its mission is to conserve, manage, and restore fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats for the benefit of present and future generations.
