#hawaii fish

Research out of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa focused on ʻoʻopu nākea — a type of goby fish found only in Hawaiʻi — to link the importance of the mountain to ocean approach in the stewardship of the state’s natural and cultural resources.

Researchers from the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center and local cooperative research fisheries are conducting the bottomfish survey in Hawaiʻi.

The fish populations at the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Reserve on the North Kona coast of Big Island, are beginning to respond, after just two years.

Our fishery and our methods have very little environmental impact on our waters and our longliners need to be able to set their hooks and fish.
