Growing up in Kahaluu on the Island of Oahu, Kevin Chang’s life has always been intertwined with the ocean. Nestled between the reef and the mountains, the ocean wasn’t just something to see—it was something to love and care for.
For Kevin, fishing is more than just a way to live. It's rooted in the ancient Hawaiian belief that they were brought from the ocean by Maui’s fishhook.
Today, he dreams of a community where everyone is empowered to take control of their own destiny through better fisheries management. A future where a healthy ocean means a healthy community, and generations can thrive in harmony with their environment.
