Hawai‘i is known for its picturesque beaches and sea life. Every year, more than 400,000 visitors make Kahalu‘u Bay on Hawai‘i Island a part of their travel itinerary. A sanctuary of vibrant coral reefs and marine life, it’s one of the top visitor destinations on the west side of the island, greatly used as a recreation area due to its ease of access.
Yet what makes Kahalu‘u Bay popular has also resulted in damage. Beneath the surface is a delicate ecosystem that is threatened by the influx of human activity. Unfortunately, many visitors are unaware of the coral, how their behavior is damaging and how overuse over time is killing this ecosystem.

At the forefront of the battle to protect Kahalu‘u Bay is Cindi Punihaole, the director of the Kahalu‘u Bay Education Center and a guardian of her ancestral heritage. Raised on the Kona Coast, Punihaole inherited a legacy of stewardship, learning the ancient practices of fishing and sustainable living passed down through generations. Her journey is captured in Keeper of the Bay, a documentary that chronicles her tireless efforts to safeguard Kahalu‘u Bay from the perils of over-tourism and environmental degradation.
Through indigenous wisdom and scientific knowledge, Punihaole balances cultural preservation and marine conservation. The film captures her dedication to bridging the gap between tradition and modernity, in which she tries to find inventive solutions to mitigate the impact of human destruction on the delicate marine ecosystem.
In addition to following Punihaole, the film also aims to raise awareness of ocean conservation and encourages viewers to understand the role they play in protecting the environment and our islands for years to come. See the documentary on PBS Hawai‘i.

Hawaii’s most active volcano Kilauea brewing as experts forecast 44th eruption in coming days
Hawaii’s most active and popular volcano, Kilauea, is preparing to put on a show as geologists forecast the volcano’s 44th eruption in the coming days.
The United States Geological Survey said that precursory eruption activity is occurring as the active volcano prepares to erupt – one of Earth’s most captivating natural spectacles.
According to the USGS, the forecast for the start of episode 44 is between April 6 to April 14.
On Saturday morning, the south vent overflowed at 6:11 a.m. HST, with lava flowing from the south vent at least 10 times through small dome fountains.
One of the most active volcanoes in the world, Kilauea has been erupting episodically within its summit caldera since December 23, 2024 – and is preparing to do so for the 44th time in the coming days.
Eruption episodes at Kilauea typically last from a few hours to one day, with some lasting up to 8 ½ days of lava flow.
When the volcano comes alive, it is a sight to behold.
Fountains of red to yellow lava shoot more than 1,000 feet in the air out of boiling lakes of lava – a scene that annually attracts crowds of tourists to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park to witness the phenomenon.
For those fortunate enough to witness a Kilauea eruption, the natural spectacle is as dangerous as it is mesmerizing.
According to the USGS, the volcano lets off threatening hazardous gases, especially to those with heart or respiratory issues, infants, children and pregnant women.
When the volcano is erupting, unsafe ash is abrasive and can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory system.
Can’t make the trip to Hawaii to witness the 44th episode? Don’t worry.
The USGS operates several live webcams at Kilauea, streaming continuously on their website—stay tuned for any signs of eruption. You won’t want to miss it.
