Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge is one of the few natural wetlands remaining in the Hawaiian Islands. Located along the south central coast of the island of Maui between the towns of Kihei and Ma’alaea, this 691-acre wetland is home to the endangered Hawaiian coot (ae’o) and Hawaiian coot (‘alae ke oke’o). The refuge is adjacent to Kealia Beach, which is a nesting ground for the endangered hawksbill turtle.
