Year of the Reef at Waikiki Aquarium

Hawaii's Waikiki aquarium is one of the first aquariums in the country to conduct coral research as a primary focus. It's part of the Coral Reef Outreach Network, and today a lot of the living coral in U.S. aquariums comes from Hawaii.

This year is the "International Year of the Reef," a year-long global campaign aimed at raising awareness about the importance of coral reefs and threats to their sustainability. The aquarium is hosting a variety of programs as well as a summer concert series.
