Big Island residents joined the DLNR for Kanu Ko‘a during a ceremony on Saturday to begin a coral reef restoration project at Kealakekua Bay.

The event occurred at Kealakekua Bay on Hawaiʻi Island, a protected marine site that has ironically become overrun with invasive fish species like roi, taape, and toau over the past 60 years.

Authorities said in the morning of Sunday Nov. 10, a 29-year-old woman was found floating face down in the bay. Police said she was wearing a mask, snorkel, fins, and a wetsuit.

Sally Rankin, former resident of the bay, said she moved away from the area when it became clear to her that Kamehameha Schools was committed to adding 150 units of lodging upslope from the bay.
