Honokohau Harbor Dive April 12th 2008

We had a wonderful dive at Honokohau yesterday.  This was the first dive to start our new protocol in coral disease monitoring here in Hawaii.   Pictures will be uploaded shortly of disease we observed. 

As a note - please remember that just because disease is present on a reef does not mean the reef is not healthy.  In fact, having some disease on a reef can actually indicate health as all the biological factors to have that disease present are actually on the reef!

I want to thank our volunteers who dove with us and welcome them to share on this site there dive experience in collecting samples through this page.

As always we are always looking for new volunteers as well as we are trying to get our Big Island Reef Check project up and running!  Please contact:

Kara Osada - The team scientist ph: 808-896-1889 or email: Kara@KonaCPR.com If you are interested in getting involved!

We also have a new webpage I will be sharing images posting dives on at: KonaReefCheck.org
