Ko `ie `ie Loko I`a
Maui's Ancient Fishpond
Ko `ie `ie Loko I `a sits in
front of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. It is
part of the Kalepolepo Park, in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. Ko `ie `ie, meaning "rapid current" is the
best preserved loko kuapa along the South Maui shoreline and was
traditionally reserved for the ali`i or chiefs. The local
community has embraced the fishpond and plans are underway to rebuild
the fishpond walls and perpetuate Ko `ie `ie Loko I `a as a community
landmark. Our students have spent this school year learning about the fishpond. Follow the links below to see our students work and learn about Ko `ie `ie Loko I `a.
