In Mauritius, Reef Conservation has created underwater snorkeling trails to educate and engage tourists and residents to protect the surrounding reef ecosystems.

Community members and educators gathered at Loko Ea Fishpond last night for Waʻa Talks, a time for people to talk about the Worldwide Voyage, and share ways that we can all be inspired to mālama honua, in and out of classrooms.

The voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa and the mobile marine science station wagon Bis Lamer both teach important lessons of environmental protection.

Worldwide Voyage crewmembers joined the leadership and staff of the Outrigger Beach Resort Mauritius to celebrate the legacy of Outrigger founders Roy and Estelle Kelley.

Original 1976 crewmember Billy Richards reflects on 40 years of voyaging that now takes Hōkūleʻa to Africa.

"The first few days of the voyage are difficult; I try to hide it, but I feel uneasy and unsteady. It takes a while to find my balance, but when it comes I know I can trust it."

Worldwide Voyage crewmembers visited the small fishing village of Amed along the eastern shore of Bali to learn how community members are protecting their natural resources through photography amid an influx of tourism.

At the end of their journey from Bali to Mauritius, Leg 14 crewmembers reflect on lessons learned while on board Hōkūleʻa.
