Waikiki aquarium Coral Reef Project
April 11th, 2008
Hawaii’s Waikiki aquarium is one of the first aquariums in the country to conduct coral research as a primary focus. It’s part of the Coral Reef Outreach Network. Fitting since today a lot of the living coral in U.S. aquariums actually comes from Hawaii. 2008 is the "International Year of the Reef," so year long global efforts have been made to raise awareness about the importance of coral reefs and threats to their sustainability. The aquarium is hosting a variety of programs as well as a summer concert series. So keep in mind the following reef saving tips, the next time you are swimming here in the waters of Hawaii:
1) Don’t touch it, stand on sand
2) Don’t pollute
3) Don’t feed the fish
4) Eat what you catch

Bruce,
Is there any company who provides a service to allow one to leave luggage if between flights on Oahu and they wish to go into Waikiki for a while? Since 9/11 security changes make it impossible at the Honolulu airport?
Mahalo,
Rich Flowers
