Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, Protected wetland habitat in Maui County, United States
Located on Maui island, this wildlife refuge spans across wetlands where endangered Hawaiian waterbirds find essential nesting and feeding environments alongside migratory species.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this protected area in 1992 to preserve habitats for native Hawaiian species and seasonal migrating birds.
The refuge functions as an outdoor learning center where visitors discover Hawaiian wildlife through educational programs, guided tours, and interpretive displays about local ecology.
The visitor center operates from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on weekdays, while the coastal boardwalk remains accessible daily from 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM.
Between August and April, this wetland hosts over 30 different species of waterfowl and shorebirds that travel from destinations as far as Alaska, Canada, and Asia.
