Kaneohe Bay Regional Council

The Kaneohe Bay Regional Council advises government agencies on the management and protection of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii's largest sheltered bay and a critical marine ecosystem on O'ahu's windward coast. It coordinates among federal, state, and county entities on issues including runoff, land use, and reef health, and develops recommendations for bay management plans. The council's work informs permitting and regulatory decisions that affect the bay's water quality and ecological integrity.

Kaneohe Bay's health affects fishing, recreation, Native Hawaiian cultural practices, and property values for the entire windward O'ahu community; this council is the coordinating body for its protection.
