It was fun to walk along here. They had some more secluded ponds with even more cool fish. And the scene in the top photo was stunning... almost looks fake.
Na Loko la O Kalahuipuaa
Since men first found them, the fishponds at Kalahuipua'a have been a delightful oasis along this arid coast. These Brackish ponds are fed and cleansed by fresh water springs seeping into them and the titlal action of the sea. By modifying them and by managing them wisely, the prehistoric Hawaiians were able to raise a variety of fish in these ponds. Ama'ama (mullet) and awa (milkfish) were the most commonly raised fish, but others such as, papio (jack), kaku (barracuda) and puhi (eels) as well as 'opae (shrimp) lived here also.
