In the past few years, thanks to improved education and enforcement that this area is largely off limits to fishing, we've seen more fish, more marine critters, more monk seals, and healthy turtles in the area. To protect this special area for the future for your friend Naia and other keiki, residents and visitors the community watch group Malama PupukeaWaimea formed in 2005 and has a weekly outreach tent at Sharks Cove on Saturdays and a variety of educational programs. We are looking for volunteers and invite folks to keep in touch with what's happening up here at Pupukea, Three Tables, and Waimea Bay through our newsletter and web site: www. pupukeawaimea.org. Again, hooray Susan for putting a valuable spotlight on the wonders of the marine life in Hawaii and beyond!!
