Day2 Hui Alaopae

Today our group helped clean in and around the ponds in Hale O Lono. We learned many things about why it is important to keep the ponds clean and make sure everything is balanced. One of the things we did was take out the pine needles from the pond. Taking out the pine needles from the pond is good because it cleans the fishes home. Another thing that we learned was that if you donʻt pull the weeds out from on and around the rocks, itʻll over grow and you wonʻt be able to see it and youʻll fall. Another job that we did at Hale o Lono is that we had to look for 5 Gal. buckets, and look for opala in the lokoiʻa. Another thing is that we had to count all of the fish in the fishpond, and the kinds of things we had to find in the fish pond was ʻŌpae, Mullet, ʻAholehole and, ʻOʻopu. We think that it is helpful to take out the mud because it helps the limu grow. If the limu does not grow well then the fish will have to starve or find something else to eat which is bad.
