Symbolic Adoptions
Make a tangible difference by 'adopting' one of our sea turtle patients or coral fragments. Your contribution goes directly to the MOCMI to help purchase much-needed daily care supplies for our patients. Symbolic adoptions make a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one.
How It Works:
-
Choose Your Animal: Select a sea turtle or coral currently receiving care at the Marine Institute whose journey you would love to support.
-
What’s Included: We offer digital adoption packages with a personalized adoption certificate, a photo of your newly adopted friend, informational content, and exclusive updates on our conservation efforts through our newsletter.
-
Make a Difference: Your adoption directly supports sea turtle conservation and coral restoration initiatives, including rescue, rehabilitation, and research efforts.
Corporate Sponsorship & Corporate Social Responsibility
For more information about Corporate Sponsorships and CSR, contact Dustin Paradis.
Sea level rise, coastal erosion, and rising ocean temperatures threaten to disrupt island life as we know it- and time is running out.
By sponsoring conservation efforts, businesses demonstrate Corporate Social Responsibility and help safeguard the natural resources that drive Maui’s economy.
Our Sea Turtle Stranding Response, Rescue, Rehabilitation & Research Program and Coral Research & Restoration Programs are unique in Hawai’i and all authorised under DLNR DAR, USFWS and NOAA Permits.
