Maui Ocean Center will screen a free documentary about community-led efforts to restore Mā’alaea Bay on August 13, 2026. A public Q&A with local scientists and organizations follows, including discussion of a proposed regional wastewater facility.
- The free screening takes place August 13, 2026 at Maui Ocean Center’s Sphere Theater in Mā’alaea — reservations required via Eventbrite.
- The documentary covers restoration efforts for Mā’alaea Bay, where less than 5% of coral remains due to sediment runoff and wastewater pollution.
- A post-screening Q&A will feature local conservation groups, scientists, and the film’s director discussing coral and upland restoration.
- Attendees will hear about the proposed Mā’alaea Regional Wastewater Reclamation System, which would replace existing injection wells with a modern treatment facility.
- The event is family-friendly and open to the public, making it a potential activity option for guests visiting Maui in mid-August.
