For our CyberFair entry this year we focused on the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. The sanctuary is located in Kihei, on the island of Maui, in the state of Hawaii, in the United States of America. The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary was designated by Congress in 1992 and approved by Hawaii's Governor in 1997, with a goal of protecting the humpback whale and its habitat within Hawaiian waters. The Sanctuary's mission is to ensure a healthy Hawaiian habitat for the humpback whale by providing innovative management through protection, conservation, community participation, research, education, compatible uses and cultural awareness. The sanctuary also aims to protect other endangered species in the Hawaiian waters. This project explores the sanctuary and the species protected by the sanctuary.
