Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi — The Environmental Division at Marine Corps Base Hawai’i (MCBH) has worked extensively over the years to remove invasive mangrove from the historically and culturally significant Nuʻu¬pia Fishponds, restoring ecological balance and vital coastal ecosystems. These fishponds hold deep cultural importance and provide critical habitat for native species. As environmental stewardship moves forward with caring for the Nu‘upia Fishponds, MCBH is grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside Paepae o Heʻeia and our broader community partners to further enhance restoration efforts, strengthen cultural connections, and ensure these treasured resources thrive for generations to come.
