On April 2nd, the HDOT Highways Maui team visited Kamehameha III Elementary to hang out with 58 awesome 2nd graders. We spent the morning learning how to keep our island’s ocean clean.

Using our EnviroScape and Storm Drain models, we showed the students how rain can wash pollutants from Upcountry landscapes all the way down to the beach. The kids saw firsthand that whatever goes into a storm drain flows straight to the sea—no filters, no stops.

It was great to see these young stewards so excited about protecting our reefs. Mahalo for having us, Kamehameha III!
