kahakai
Kahakai, meaning beach in Hawaiian, symbolises the importance of leaving shells behind and causing as little disturbance to wildlife as possible while enjoying the beach.
As an important part of the ecosystem, shells are potential homes to all sorts of creatures, hiding places for small fish and they are used by shorebirds to build nests.
With many beaches seeing a decline in shell numbers due to tourism, it is vital to leave shells behind and improve beach health.
