"You mean some of the tidepools, right? I'm sure you're aware of the Waiopae Tidepools Marine Life Conservation District. If the name doesn't say it all, here's a description:"

Dave,
I meant all of the tidepools including those is the MLCD.The MLCD limits certain activities,but the tidepools for the most part were on private property and the MLCD did not take that right away.No one will ever be able to build on those submerged lands again,but for whatever reason,owners are still paying property taxes on them.
Look at the TMK maps here:
http://www.co.hawaii.hi.us/maps/tmk/1.htm
Scroll down to h14002.tif.
At the bottom center of this map is Vacationland tmk's 67-68-69-70.
Below that and to the left is the private property that is now the tidepools.
"I also "don't get Obie's statement, as mean high water mark/tide line is beyond the tide pools, that is OCEAN water coming in to fill them and Dave, you are spot on about the WTMLCD."
Devany,
The tidepools were once dry land that had houses on them.They are still privately owned.
It is explained here in detail.Click on the large pdf file:

Vacationland has provided access across private land at several places and these are marked.However,the roads are privately owned and we could legally block public access by vehicle and make everyone walk in from Red Road.
