About the company

Maui Ocean Center Marine Institute (MOCMI) is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Wailuku, Hawaii, that specializes in marine conservation and environmental education focused on the Hawaiian Islands. The organization has established itself as a prime recipient of federal grant awards from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), demonstrating expertise in managing comprehensive wildlife conservation programs that combine field response capabilities with community engagement and scientific research. MOCMI's work centers on protecting Hawaii's unique and vulnerable marine ecosystems through hands-on intervention, data collection, and public outreach initiatives.

MOCMI has received multiple cooperative agreements from NOAA totaling significant federal investment in marine conservation efforts. The organization's primary service delivery includes sea turtle conservation programs, managing a stranding response hotline, providing rehabilitation and post-release monitoring through tagging protocols, and implementing mitigation efforts such as fishing line recycling and beach cleanup initiatives. Additionally, MOCMI operates Hawaiian monk seal conservation programs that establish reporting systems for seal sightings and incidents, respond to breeding and molting events, and coordinate with NOAA Fisheries on stranding responses. The institute also partners with the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology's Coral Resilience Lab to conduct thermal tolerance testing of coral species and outplant thermally resilient coral fragments at Olowalu Reef, with a target of outplanting 1,000 coral fragments while organizing community engagement events. Furthermore, MOCMI received a sub-grant award from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to develop Maui's capacity to respond to and mitigate coral reef disturbances caused by vessel groundings. All of these initiatives are underpinned by educational outreach designed to reduce human-wildlife conflicts, improve community understanding of marine conservation issues, and promote environmental stewardship across Maui's communities.
