My husband & I have visited the tidepools two to three times a year for the last several years, usually at different times of the year. The clarity of the water varies but seems especially bad after heavy rainfall the night before (with the fresh water causing a weird cloudy effect when it mixes with the salt water). The biggest change we’ve noticed is the declining numbers of large fish, even far out near the reef break.
We’ve called the “Night Ranger” phone number on the sign at the tide pools to report folks spear fishing there in the middle of the night, but never saw anyone respond.
I wear a wet suit there now. I look stupid and inappropriate, but if I get scratched I don’t want to get infected. Sad to say. But the pools are still magical, the further out the better.
Whose brilliant idea was it to let yet another new house be built on the tide pool side of Wai’opae?
