We are University of Hawai‘i graduate students and community members who are passionate about aquaculture, ensuring our reefs stay healthy while developing a Blue Economy in our islands.

What do we do?

What started as an idea for the University of Hawai‘i Venture Competition is now ready for market validation. 

Makai Aquatics seeks to connect passionate home aquarists to increase the supply of Hawaiian reef fish eggs for us to raise. Aquarists get involved in conservation, Makai Aquatics is able to raise fish, and everyone makes money along the way!
