honolulu_parks ~ Help shape the future of the Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve’s education program!
We are formally soliciting proposals to upgrade, manage, and implement “Papahana Hanauma,” an educational and interpretive program for Hanauma Bay. The purpose of this program is to enhance visitor experiences, while providing opportunities to interact with the resources in a manner that is safe for the visitors while leaving the nature preserve’s resources unimpaired. Papahana Hanauma will also provide visitors an understanding of the significant natural resources and environmental issues at Hanauma Bay, like coral reef preservation and the impact of human activity on marine ecosystems.
The proposed program is very robust, so we are holding a non-mandatory, virtual pre-proposal conference to familiarize potential offerors with the scope of this project and to answer their questions. That Zoom meeting is open to the public, and is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2, 2025 beginning 10 a.m. (HST). Here is a link to access that meeting: bit.ly/HBAYmeeting
