In today’s world, understanding our planet and the sensitive ecosystem that inhabits it is very important. From the deserts to the oceans, the world is a thriving environment that is highly complex, and one subtle change can affect everything, and there may not be a place in the world that this is truer than in Hawaii. Isolated from everything, the Hawaiian Islands have an ecosystem that is unlike anywhere else in the world. From the underwater reefs to the lush rainforests, Hawaii features many different environments, even snowy mountains, though nothing is more important than the ocean.
The islands have always been highly dependent on the ocean, and that holds true today. For hundreds of years, Hawaii’s residents relied on the ocean for food, and though we are not as reliant today as we were throughout history, it is still vital to the survival of the islands. Sustainable fishing is more important now than ever before, and keeping the ocean’s healthy is at the top of the list for the future of the world. With depleted fish populations and changing conditions, the ocean is in need of help every day.
Oahu's Sea Life Park is a hidden gem in the islands, located on the windward coast near Rabbit Island, it is a marine mammal park and bird sanctuary that helps to rehabilitate injured animals and better understand the ocean’s inhabitants, helping them to survive now and into the future. The park is active in many conservation areas, and one of the most important aspects that it participates in is the release of hundreds of adolescent Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles each year, which are hatched and raised at the park. The park is very important, not only to Oahu’s tourism but to the future of the oceans.
In addition to being a conservation park, there are a number of activities and exhibits at the park that visitors can enjoy. Perfect for all ages the park is an incredible opportunity to see marine animals up close and watch in amazement as while they live at the park or take part in dazzling exhibitions. From swimming with dolphins, an encounter with a sea lion, educational displays where visitors can learn about the fragile reef ecosystems, and entering a shark tank, this park has it all, and the fish and animals are so close you can almost touch them.
At the end of the day enjoy Aloha Kai Luau that takes place at Sea Life Park.
Sea Life Park is not far from Waikiki, and is a great opportunity to learn all about Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean. With something for all ages, this is the best chance for a little education during your vacation, and an afternoon that you won’t want to miss.
