May 1, 2010 - Hawaii County employees along with their family and friends worked on cleaning up Kamilo Beach in Kau
on Big Island for Earth Day on Saturday.
The event, organized by Hawai'i Wildlife Fund, cleaned up about
a quarter mile of Kamilo beach. The 28 participants gathered 50 big bags of trash estimated at 1,750 pounds along with 200 pounds of fishing nets. Approximately one ton of marine debris including nets were removed.
The next clean-up event is scheduled for June 26 and September 18,
2010.

2009 International Coastal Clean-up event. In the video, Ron Sanford of Volcano, Hawai'i,
uses his 4-WD truck to pull two tons of derelict
fishing gear off the rocky coastline.
Filmmaker Lyn Gerner introduces us to
Hawai'i Wildlife Fund president and co-founder
Hannah Bernard, and the HWF team of volunteer
scientists in her 10-minute video. These dedicated biologists and
naturalists, along with local and visiting
volunteers, work together to protect the
critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal and
hawksbill sea turtle on Maui and the Big Island.
(For best listening to the film's original score performed on native Hawaiian percussion instruments

THE END OF THE LINE - Imagine a World Without Fish
Watch a trailer for "The End of the Line," a powerful film about one of the world's most disturbing problems - over-fishing. Advances in fishing technology mean
whole species of wild fish are under threat and the most important stocks we eat are predicted to be in a state of collapse by 2050. This is not just a film, it is also a campaign - for sustainable consumption of fish, for
marine protected areas to allow the sea to recover, and for a new ethic of responsible fishing.
Legendary ocean researcher
Dr. Sylvia Earle shares astonishing images of the ocean and shocking stats about its rapid decline
as she makes her TED Prize wish: that we will join her in protecting the vital blue heart of the planet.
Inspired to make personal changes to help heal the planet, Maui musician Micah Wolf
wrote a song called One by One, which is the title to
his new CD and the name of a program he launched to support environmental
initiatives such as Hawai'i Wildlife Fund's efforts to clean
tons of marine debris from Hawaiian beaches. Wolf's song brings
to light the mega-gyre of plastic
floating in the Pacific Ocean estimated to be larger than the state of Texas
which is pouring a steady stream of marine debris on certain beaches of Hawai'i.
To help ease the problem, HWF has
worked since 2003 to clean more than 100 tons of marine debris from remote
beaches on Hawai'i Island (Big Island), where much of the trash
lands. "One by One deals with the subject of
single use plastics and the effects on our oceans," writes
Wolf. His goal is to approach our current environmental
plight one day at a time, one choice at a time, as one individual.
A
film from the BBC Natural History Unit looking at some of the
environmental challenges facing the people and wildlife of the
Hawaiian Islands. Although the documentary is from a Hawaiian
perspective it is really a global film. Because of their size,
location and social history, the Hawaiian Islands represent a
microcosm of the planet and are in a unique position to tell
all of us where we are going wrong and what we can do to help
put things right.

Japanese Dolphin Hunt Video
http://oceana.org/ This may just be the most
disturbing three minutes of footage you've ever seen. Half a world
away, dolphins and whales are being chased, trapped and killed
by the thousands. At the end of the day, the only trace of the
slaughter is an ocean stained red and videos like this one.
During Japan's annual dolphin hunting season more than 20,000
dolphins and porpoises will be killed as a form of "pest
control." Officials claim that the dolphins eat too many fish,
but those that are slaughtered are sold off to supermarkets and
grocery stores.
