ALMOST 90% OF HANAUMA BAY BEACH UNDERWATER BY 2030

Hawaii News Now - May 11, 2023 Seven years from now, nearly 90% of Hanauma Bay’s sandy area could be underwater, according to a new University of Hawai`i study on sea level rise. Researchers from UH Manoa’s Hawai`i Institute of Marine Biology evaluated Hanauma Bay for five years. They predict 88% of its sandy area will be underwater by 2030 when it’s high tide. “Hawai`i is the state of all states that really needs to be most concerned and start taking action for climate change impacts,” said Ku`ulei Rodgers, researcher of the Hawai`i Institute of Marine Biology’s Coral Reef Ecology. Since reopening after a nine-month pandemic closure, Hanauma Bay is kept closed twice a week. The city has also implemented a reservation system that cuts the daily capacity to 1,400, nearly half of what it was before. Andrew Graham, graduate student of HIMB’ Coral Reef Ecology, said last year there were six days in the summer months when the highest king tides happened. In the near future, he said, those high tide days will likely cut capacity at the beach. “If they didn’t close on those days, they could reduce the number of daily visitors on those days, or people could be relocated onto the grass,” said Graham. Nathan Serota, spokesperson for the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation, said the city continues to find a balance between preserving the area and maintaining its cultural and recreational use. They’ve begun using sea mattresses and doing restoration projects in other communities, but they’re also working on long-term solutions.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

If you’re interested in learning more about this, I highly recommend you check out Haunama Bay’s history and this article in particular. Haunama is close to my heart and the heart of most O’ahu residents, but, unfortunately, it’s also close to Honolulu which is the most densely populated city in all of Hawaii. Incidentally, this means Haunama gets TONS of tourists who don’t necessarily know to use reef-safe sunscreen. It’s pretty much THE textbook example of severe reef destruction due specifically to sunscreen.

(And personally I’m partial to Badger sunscreen! ^^ It’s super allergy friendly!)

Hey besties!! Its officially summer and as your local fish nerd and environmental science major, I thought I’d drop a quick reminder to check that any sunscreen you use is reef safe!! Our coral reefs are slowly dying bc of global warming (ocean acidification, etc) and certain chemicals present in sunscreens only exacerbate the process!! Here’s a little info-graphic from Safe the Reef to help everybody out!

https://savethereef.org/about-reef-save-sunscreen.html

If you see a sunscreen you are currently using, don’t just throw it out though. Use it in a pool or while you’re sunning, just not in the ocean or freshwater around you. Plastic and toxic waste are both issues too, so just finish what you have and never buy the brand again!! Personally, I’m trying to finish all of my Sunbum stuff before switching to a safer brand like Thinksport!

Baby sunscreens are usually reef safe too, bc babies have sensitive skin so their sunscreens tend to only have zinc oxide, the best sunscreen product.

There’s also this thing called the HEL list to keep an eye out for in your sunscreens. They’re the chemicals that are pollutants and show up in sunscreens and other skin products. NEVER FEAR THO BC THIS IS NOT A CHEM CLASS, the absolutely stunning, gorgeous, and amazing Haereticus Environmental Laboratory has gotcha covered. From their website, “Products labeled with the “Protect Land + Sea” Certification Seal mean that the product has been laboratory‐tested using analytical‐forensic techniques to verify that the product is free of the chemicals that are on the ��HEL LIST.””

This little symbol right here:

http://haereticus-lab.org/protect-land-sea-certification-3/

For all you uber nerds like me who wanna know what the HEL list is, here ya go:

- Any form of microplastic sphere or beads

- Any nanoparticles like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide

-Oxybenzone

- Octinoxate

- 4-methylbenzylidene camphor

- Octocrylene

- Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)

- Methyl Paraben

- Ethyl Paraben

- Propyl Paraben

- Butyl Paraben

- Benzyl Paraben

- Triclosan

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk! Have fun this summer but don’t be an ass to the environment or people!

The Koko Crater Railway Trail is a short, but intensive hike that offers great views of Koko Crater, Hawaii Kai, Haunama Bay, & the entire Maunalua Region.

The trail follows a series of stairs or steps made up of railroad ties that used to be used as a tramway to the Pu’u Mai Summit of Kohelepelepe.

The short, but intense summit makes this one of the most attractive hikes & &…
