Summary

[edit]
Description Olowalu is an amazing place, partly because of its biological history. Some of the corals here are estimated to be 500 years old! And more importantly, this is one of the Hawaiian Islands’ “Mother Reefs.” When corals spawn, they release gametes into the water that come together to form polyps. Some of these polyps disperse with the current before settling in an appropriate place to start a new coral colony or add to an existing one. It turns out that coral polyps released at Olowalu are carried to other West Maui reefs, and some travel all the way to the neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai, seeding reefs there!
