Support the Initiative Explore the Impact

Purpose

The H2ONU Initiative exists to ensure that the knowledge we protect in the pages of this book is matched by action in the real world.

01 The Oceans — home to ancient wisdom and fragile ecosystems

02 The Threat — pollution, habitat loss, climate change

03 The Action — through your support, we take action

04 The Impact — real change, measurable results, a better future

DIRECT ACTION

Support through the book. Give directly to the ocean.

A portion of every H2ONU purchase goes toward Hawaiian conservation. And you can give directly to any of these groups below — 100% goes to them, and they issue your tax receipt. We never touch donated funds.

Current focus — honu protection, reef restoration, and Hawaiian wildlife preservation
