Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Heeia, HI

Heeia (Hawaiian Heʻeia) is a census-designated place comprising several neighborhoods in the City and County of Honolulu and the Koʻolaupoko District on the island of Oʻahu, north of Kāneʻohe.

Heeia includes Haʻikū Valley and Heʻeia Kea, and the area is almost entirely one of homes and apartments.

As of the 2020 census, the CDP had a population of 5,001, up from 4,963 at the 2010 census.

The CDP covers 3.4 square miles in total, of which 3.1 square miles is land, and the 2020 census counted 1,771 housing units there.

Parts of Heeia lie along Kāneʻohe Bay, but public access is nonexistent because of private ownership of the property behind the shore.

Haʻikū Valley was a former United States Coast Guard radio transmitter site.

Heeia is home to the Heʻeia Fishpond (Loko Iʻa O Heʻeia), an ancient Hawaiian walled fishpond enclosing 88 acres in southern Kāneʻohe Bay.

The fishpond is the only Hawaiian fishpond fully encircled by a wall, was constructed sometime between the early 1200s and early 1400s, and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on January 17, 1973.

Restoration of the fishpond began in 1988 and is led by the nonprofit Paepae o Heʻeia, which runs it as a fishery, cultural, scientific, and educational resource.

Heeia State Park, an 18.5-acre coastal park on Kāneʻohe Bay between the fishpond and the Heʻeia Kea small boat harbor, offers views of the fishpond, Kāneʻohe Bay, and the Koʻolau Mountains.
