808TTV E.82 - Punalu’u Black Sand Beach

V.Brown — Sat, 10 May 2008 21:29:16 +0000

“Punalu’u Beach (also called Black Sand Beach) is a beach near Nā’ālehu on the Big Island of the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi. The beach has black sand created by lava flowing into the ocean which explodes as it reaches the ocean and cools. This volcanic activity is in the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

Punalu’u is frequented by endangered Hawksbill Turtles and Green Sea Turtles, which can often be seen basking on the black sand. Visitors must remain 15 feet from the turtles at all times. The swimming area is very rocky, and it can be dangerous to swim. The beach also has a large amount of underground fresh water that flows in it. This fresh water is very cold and looks almost like gasoline mixing with the water. Legend has it that in the time of drought, the early Hawaiians living in the area would dive underwater with a jug to get their fresh water.

Taking black sand and volcanic rocks from the area is prohibited.“

808TTV E.79 - Hawaii Superferry Woes

V.Brown — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:31:09 +0000

So the Hawaii Superferry is at an all stop. Why? Well many are concerned about the EIS not being accomplished and therefore believe the Superferry should be banned from the outer islands. In Maui a Judge has issued a TRO restricting the Superferry from traveling there. On Kauai the citizens got together and staged an in water protest to block the Superferry using their bodies. One thing that really gets to me is the disregard of Aloha towards the local residents. I ask again, where has the Aloha gone? Got problems with Superferry then take it up with them, not your neighbors and fellow Kamaaina.

Come along as we take you down the elevator at Sharks Cove on the North Shore of the island of Oahu. Sharks Cove was rated by Scuba Diving Magazine, July 1996, one of the “Top Twelve Shore Dives in the World”. This small rocky bay forms part of Pupukea Beach Park and boasts blue water and an impressive amount of sea life. The bottom is made up of large smooth boulders and coral heads forming small caves and ledges for marine life to hide. The walls of the surrounding cliffs provide calmer water attracting schooling surface fish. On the south side of Sharks Cove is the Pupukea tide pools; a great place to wade and explore. While going down the elevator can be fun, it is not recommended for the faint of heart. Caution advised!
