2026 Responsible Seafood Awards
Location
Join us as we honor four community members making waves and demonstrating leadership in the movement!
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Event-Sponsored Group Dinner
Location
MOTH DESCRIPTION, IF NEEDED: Everyone is invited to celebrate our community and the power of storytelling with a casual, Moth-style storytelling night hosted by seafood legend, Brian Perkins.
Sign up at the start of the event to tell a five-minute story based on the theme “First or Last,” an open-ended prompt to get your creativity flowing. A panel of volunteer judges (and audience uproar) will declare a “winner” at the end.
The only rules?
1. Stories must be true, personal, and about your own experience.
2. No notes.
3. No net.
4. No props.
It will be a night of laughter, camaraderie, and entertainment that we hope creates a tradition for many conferences to come!

Alliance-Sponsored Field Trip: KĪholo Bay Learning Excursion
Kīholo Bay (departs from the hotel)
The Kīholo State Park Reserve spans over 4,300 acres along 8 miles of the coast. The Hui Aloha Kīholo team will lead us on a guided, service-oriented learning excursion centered on community and conservation. Kīholo Bay has been actively fished for hundreds of years and continues to be a thriving area due to the local efforts for place-based care and collaborative management. The area is often cited as one of the most remarkable on the island.
Our hosts, Hui Aloha Kīholo, are a local Native Hawaiian nonprofit that serves as the cultural and environmental steward for this hub of wildlife, culture, and connection. Their mission is to protect, perpetuate, and enhance the cultural and natural landscape of the Kīholo Bay area.
