The nonprofit Hawaii Wildlife Fund will host its first underwater cleanup event on the Big Island on Sunday.
Starting at 10 a.m., eight divers from Japan’s Sea Beautification Society, a habitat restoration organization, and a diver from Canada will join another half dozen divers from the island to cleanup the debris at Ka Lae, or South Point. The cleanup will be hosted at the end of the annual S. Tokunaga Ulua fishing tournament, and cleanup organizers expect there will be plenty of monofilament line and weights to collect.
The effort is funded by a grant with the NOAA Marine Debris Program and supported by Line-X Hilo, Big Island Divers and the University of Hawaii at Hilo. More details are available by calling 769-7629 or emailing kahakai.cleanups@gmail.com
