Hale o Lono

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.

Day2 Hui Hale O Lono

Today we went to Hale O Lono and when we got there we got into our groups. From camp our group name is Hale O Lono. What our group had to do there was to clean one of the bigger ponds by picking out opala in the pond. We had to take out some cement buckets and we also found some old bottles and cans in the pond. This helps the pond because taking all of the opala out of the pond will let the limu that the fish need to eat grow better. We also pulled out the grass that was on the side of the pond so we could walk better and so it looks nicer.

Day2 Hui Lokowaka

Today, we, the O Ka ʻĀinas helped maintain and mālama Haleolono. We pulled the haole limu out of the Wī pond to help let the native limu grow.  The pinecones, rubbish and leaf litter acts as a blanket to suffocate the native limu.  If no more limu growing then wouldn't have any fish eating the limu...if no more fish eating the limu then we kanaka wouldn't have fish to eat.
