What's killing the reefs and diminishing our fish?
#45
An example today of how debris catchment systems in NW Big island fail during heavy storms.

Flood Advisory posted for South Kohala/North Kona at 12;30 pm;

That area continues to get pounded;

IMO because of human induced changes to the land (grading etc.), these kind of heavy storms overwhelm the debris containment systems leading to the smothering of coral colonies in NW Big Island. In my experience this whole area has seen a severe decline in coral ecosystems over the last 30 years because of this.
