Although many here may not want to admit it, Hawaii's number #1 industry may be partly to blame for Hawaii's recent coral reef loss.

Some may want to punish and blame the local fisherman and local families for over fishing rather than see the truths in the matter. Personally, I believe Large resorts like the ones on the Kona coast may also be dumping or diverting millions of gallons of grey water back into the ocean at times. I also think large Cruise ships, tourist fishing and diving boats can contribute to the reef pollution and damage as well. jm2cents and opinions.
