In an aside relevant today, the Hawaiians lived in Puna all this time and didn't lose a lot of Hale through stupid construction practices.
At Honolulu Landing, south of Hawaiian Beaches in Puna, an entire Hawaiian village (with hale) disappeared due to subsidence. The coastline dropped over 10 feet into the ocean:
Honolulu Landing used to be a Hawaiian village ... The village was an important canoe landing and trading village.
Honolulu Landing was abandoned as a village in 1924 due to earthquakes that caused the shoreline to sink below sea level taking with it a black sand beach.

But... weren’t we talking about whales? And “Whale Protectors.” And why it’s not beneficial to fill whales with rocks while they may still be alive, and say, oh, well, I’m a self taught improvisational native practitioner so the whale hopefully didn’t mind. Much.
