Pacific Whale Foundation strives to host a green event. We are committed to creating a sustainable festival that betters our environment rather than harming it. We have taken the below steps to promise a festival with a positive environmental impact.
Local and Organic Products
Whenever possible we have selected local and/or organic products to sell at Pacific Whale Foundation's food booth.
Sustainable Seafood
Our Whale Day food booths will include offerings from some of Pacific Whale Foundation's Maui Seafood Watch Program restaurant partners. All of our Seafood Watch partner restaurants are committed to serving only sustainable seafood options. To learn more about the program and see a list of our partner restaurants, visit the Seafood Watch action alert on the Pacific Whale Foundation website, www.pacificwhale.org.
