Nuʻalolo Kai seabird restoration site

Nuʻalolo Kai is one of the most important cultural restoration sites on Kauaʻi, located on the Nā Pali coast, and seabirds were an integral part of life for the people originally living there. Working with State Parks, the Nā Pali Coast ʻOhana, Hallux Ecosystem and Restoration LLC and other partners, the project aims to restore seabird populations through a combination of predator control and social attraction.

Since the successful removal of the last cat at the site by Hallux in 2020, the site has already seen the successful re-establishment of ʻuaʻu kani (Wedge-tailed Shearwater) with a chick successfully fledged in 2020 for the first time in decades and a rapid near exponential increase in breeding pairs over the subsequent years.
