Mahina: Pō Mahealani
"Today was unbelievably clear from the sky to the ocean. I am blessed to be with kamaʻāina from this ahupuaʻa. Today I was humbled to learn new things about limu from Dr. Karla McDermid. She has showed amazing ʻike to us, and I personally love that it is in the field and not in a classroom. Even as we went to our Kalapana ahupua'a the tranquility of the weather was beyond comparison to the previous days we have been down here. The clarity to which we could see the fish swimming from a top 60 feet on these cliffs is mind blowing. The life on these cliffs reflect the ocean correspondingly. It might be the hottest place at some moments but to be surrounded by resilient resources as well as astounding views will be etched in my mind forever. " -K. G. "This morning we were on a limu mission. We all met at 8 am to catch low tide at 8:30 am. It was a great day today, the limu was exposed in the Pu'ilima tide pools and the ocean was calm. There were hon of many sizes eating limu off of the rocks below the water and floating to the surface to breathe, leaving their shells exposed before they swam back under to feast. There were so many different kinds of limu, unique in their own ways. Limu of many shapes and colors that grow and thrive along this coastline in tide pools and on pōhaku among an abundance of 'opihi and baby fish who find refuge in these tide pools with limu." -M.K.
