Kealia Pond NWR

Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) located on Maui's south shore was established in 1992 and is part of the Maui NWR Complex. The refuge is home to endangered native water birds, and hosts migratory ducks and shorebirds in fall, winter, and spring.

This refuge provides 700 acres of some of the last remaining natural wetland habitat in the State of Hawai`i. Kealia Pond is nearly 250 acres when full. The refuge is adjacent to Kealia Beach, which is a nesting ground for the endangered hawksbill turtle.

An interpretive kiosk and boardwalk are planned along the beach and refuge mudflats. Visitors will be able to view the many bird species of the refuge, take in the beauty of the beach, and whale watch.
