This is Makana, our lovely Laysan albatross. Originally from Hawaii, she had a wing injury as a chick that has stopped her from flying long distances, an important skill for a soaring seabird. We welcomed Makana (Hawaiian for “gift”) with open wings as a young bird, and have been taking care of her ever since! Come find this beautiful bird during her albatross encounter in front of the Kelp Forest, where we share her personal journey, the story of her species, and the threats they face in the wild from plastic pollution.
