Comments and Feedback
I got a call at our store from a customer stating that they had seen a fairly large net on the reef at Keawakapu. A co-worker and myself went out the next day on scooters and used an expanding "U" search pattern to locate the net. We were able to remove it with very little damage to the reef. After inspecting it to make sure there wasn't any small marine life on it, we disposed of it.
