The mission of the Keiki Kohola Project is to promote the protection of humpback whale mother and calf pairs during their time in Hawaiian waters.


Every winter, pregnant humpback whales from across the North Pacific head to the waters of Hawaii. These soon-to-be moms travel over 2500 km to reach a safe, protected nursery where they can raise their young calves.
