Maybe If our Blnr or Dlnr divisions were freed up from this TMT project they could spend time and resources protecting our Ohia or ocean reefs again? A decade or two hiatus from further development atop maunakea may allow the healing to begin for the mountain, the people who care for it, our aquifers and reefs. The millions of extra visitors to our island are causing huge environmental changes and changing the way we will live,jmo. What is being done by the blnr and the dlnr to help protect our reefs and keiki?

Puako beach drive use to have several great places to fish because the reef was alive and thriving. Today most of the reef fish are gone as are the hermit crabs and snails many of them fed on. Many of The sea cucumbers or sea urchin's that use to keep the reef clean are also now missing from the reefs, like they have been caught and sold. The good news is that the many resorts just down the coast from puako beach drive look to be much bigger, and greener than I ever remember them being in the 70's and 80's.
