HUAKA'I / FIELD TRIP SITE
Located in Heʻeia on the windward side of Oʻahu, Heʻeia Fishpond is a kuapā-style fishpond enclosing 88 acres of brackish water. The kuapā (wall) is built on Malaukaʻa, a fringing reef and extends away from the shoreline, completely encircling the fishpond. Built approximately 600-800 years ago by the residents of the area, the kuapā is possibly the longest in the Hawaiian Islands measuring an estimated 1.3 miles (7,000 feet). Paepae o Heʻeia is a private non-profit organization dedicated to caring for Heʻeia Fishpond.
