Hmmm ya know... When I was a kid about 12 years old I'd head down to Hanauma bay almost every weekend ... It was awesome, almost like watching jack custo. The reefs were all healthy and fish galore. Hammerheads, Barracuda, Turtles, seen it all I even saw a shark hatch out of it's pod there. Amazing!
Long story short, went back with my G/F about 10 years ago, and I was so disappointed. The reefs just gray skeletons with no fish. It sucked big time. But also I can see why it's all dead from thousands of tourist every day pee and sun screen and doing things like sitting or standing on the coral. So... after a few hours of being depressed, hiked around to the toilet bowl.
Sigh... It doesn't matter there are millions of people flocking to the beach spreading sun screen everywhere so... while it might not be good for the environment your just a drop in a very large bucket. That person was just being an uninformed a-hole. As, the only thing you can't do at the bay these days is feed the fish. The best was to bring a bag from frozen pea's.
Good Fun!
