In commemoration of its Hawaiian Islands Concert Tour in November and to help raise awareness for the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, Little Feat has collaborated with NMSF Trustee and internationally renowned Marine Artist Robert Lyn Nelson to produce a set of four limited edition posters.

A portion of the poster sales will be donated to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation to further its efforts on behalf of the 13 National Marine Sanctuaries.

"I have revisited the Hawaiian Islands more than a dozen times since Little Feat first performed there in 1972. Now my kids can experience the beauty of the islands and the ocean that surrounds them. With the help of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, I know these islands will flourish and continue to provide joy, not only for our children, but for generations to come."

“This is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the importance of protecting one of the most unique and beautiful habitats in the world,” said Lori Arguelles, Executive Director of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, “And we’re so grateful to the members of Little Feat and to Robert Lyn Nelson for creating this perfect blend of music and Marine Art for the benefit of our National Marine Sanctuaries.

The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation was created to foster environmental stewardship for all 13 of our National Marine Sanctuaries. The Foundation has helped the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, in particular, by serving as a sponsor for the annual Whale Count and a Vessel Collision workshop.

"We are happy to be involved with an organization as great as the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. We feel strongly about their work on educating people about our fragile ocean ecosystems," said Sam Clayton, Little Feat Percussionist.

The Hawaiian Islands are the world's most isolated island archipelago, born of ancient volcanoes and inhabited by animals and plants derived from ancestors that found their way there over thousands of miles of ocean.

According to scientists, the shallow, warm waters surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands constitute one of the world's most important habitats for the endangered humpback whale.

Nearly two-thirds of the entire North Pacific population of humpback whales migrates to Hawaii each winter. Here, they engage in breeding, calving and nursing activities critical to the survival of their species.

The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary supports the work of marine researchers, coordinates and participates in community outreach projects, develops educational displays, and works cooperatively with local organizations, agencies and volunteers to address resource protection and public awareness.
