Maui Wildfire Disaster Relief

At Marinalife, our hearts go out to the people of Maui in the wake of the wildfire disaster. The loss of more than 3,000 acres of land and 2,200 structures includes homes, medical facilities, businesses, marinas and charter boat companies. As Marinalife offers emergency relief and recovery funds to the island, we also encourage our readers, marinas and the boating community to lend a hand.
