I wonder if I could use this to hit on hot tourists. "Wow, that sunscreen you're using, not many people know this, but those chemicals are toxic to the reef and it's beautiful little fishies, the proof is right there on your phone." then I hand them my sunscreen which is actually safe, and then "hey, sure you don't need help getting the shoulders?" because really nobody likes applying sunscreen to their own back.
I have no idea if this would actually work. The only moves I've picked up are things I've copied wholesale from other people, lol. Thinking on it, it might, there are a lot of hippy chicks that visit Hawai'i every year.

I think you've come to the wrong place. You can search google for "hot tourists Hawaii" but don't blame me if the first page you visit ends up "clogging google".
I'm surprised at the amount of patience you've been shown here, but posts like this will likely end that very quickly.

Is there something wrong with flirting with attractive women, TomK? I'm confused, I have no idea why you're pissed at me.... It seems really normal for heterosexual males to attempt to date heterosexual women.

Try a rash guard.

This thread reminds me of one of the quirks of Hawaii that I quite enjoy. A constant stream of new people arriving to try their hand at island life and an equally constant stream of those who have had enough of the rock life heading back. The malahini cycle of life!

Glass#, Some of this states (and our islands) most tourist visited beaches already have "reef ambassadors" posted to inform the beach park visitors on proper reef etiquette, including advising them of the dangers of some sunscreens on the reef community.
Rash guards have been used for decades by ocean enthusiasts, like surfers & snorkelers, as a very effective sun guard that is reef safe (& a very visible sign of your commitment to safe reef ecosystems!). Some even have a plush layer that helps protects your skin from chicken skin caused by the cold fresh water intrusions that occur around our island!

"reef ambassadors"
So there is a type of "protector" that actually makes useful contributions to society?

You may not have heard of them because they're quiet.
They don't want to scare the fish.
It's a different approach... not much crossover or overlap with the 100 dB+ variety.

Kalakoa & HOTP, I am surprised that you, living here, would have no idea that there is a network of volunteer & paid positions at various ocean parks worldwide, supported by a network of public and private organizations, since some are in our own backyard, & would be a little hard to miss!
On this island this includes HVNP, Kaloko-Honokahou, Punalu`u, Kahalu`u Bay & have included training & signage at Richardsons Ocean Park & Wai`Opae Tidepools MLCD
