E Malama I Ke Kai, an ocean awareness festival, was held Saturday at Kapiolani Park Bandstand. Ellen Okamura painted a fish to create a gyotaku, or fish print, as her brother John watched. The festival offered not only food and music, but environmental and cultural awareness as well, with speakers, exhibits and activities. E Malama I Ke Kai benefits the Hawaiian-language immersion program Punana Leo o Kawaiaha'o.
