Our mission: To undertake substantial actions that result in the preservation, recovery, and stewardship of Hawaii’s protected marine animals and the vitally important ocean ecosystem we share.

Hawai'i Marine Animal Response (HMAR) is the largest Hawai'i-based nonprofit marine species conservation and response organization. We work on the islands of Oʻahu and Molokaʻi with our team of dedicated volunteers, interns, and staff who are supported by private donations, corporate funding, and government grants. We strive to achieve our mission through activity every day of the year that impacts our three key objectives: (1) educating the community to grow support for marine protected species and the ocean we share, (2) mitigating threats to manage and recover marine protected species and the ecosystem they call home, and (3) saving animals that need help. Our key programs and other activities described below work synergistically to accomplish these objectives. Thousands of times each year, our outreach, education, field support, interventions, rescue, and stranding response activities help us move towards our vision of Hawai'i’s ocean ecosystem shared in sustainable harmony by humans and marine protected animals such as Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, and seabirds.
