PROJECT COORDINATOR - PETAR KOVACIC

17 years ago Petar taught himself how to surf while living in Mexico.  The overfishing, erosional runoff, and ubiquitous plastic pollution there sparked a fire for ocean activism. This Kekaulike High School teacher tries to infuse aloha aina into the hearts and minds of Maui’s youth.   After the Maui fires, Petar has been focused on reimagining Lahaina efforts. He tries to hang five in the summers and throw buckets in the winters.  Chee hoo!
