i couldn’t believe when i saw this photo on the news. this boat owner hired a termite fumigation company to tent his boat. and the termite company did it! really??? that can’t be good for the environment. 
as i was paddling in from Bowls yesterday, i paddled over this net. the guys on the beach camped overnight and put this long net over the stretch of reef. 
the fish can’t see it until it’s too late. i saw so many dead fish in the net and i actually got sad. this is the very reason why we don’t have fish in Hawaii anymore. 
this is actually legal here in Hawaii so nothing can be done about it. the crazy thing is every living sea creature that swims through this net will die. sharks and turtles included.
and as you can see, the reef is smashed and dead! not smashed and dead because of the net. but it’s smashed and dead from all those surf schools that let their students step on the reef, along with their instructors. pretty sad if you’re a diver like me because i saw this reef thriving before. not anymore…
let’s be smart Hawaii!
