Many families use the ocean for family activities or just to fish or dive. It's a place where families grow and share lessons of fishing or the ocean. Can you imagine if instead of catching fish, we start catching loads and loads of trash and plastic. I wouldn't want my future children or future generations to experience fishing or other ocean activities like that. We need to conserve not destroy.
In conclusion, the clip reminded me of all the conservation programs that I joined during high school. During each program we learned about how its our responsibility to take care of our aina and ocean. We should remind ourselves of how the past Hawaiians were, very subsistence ( living off the land). We should turn our backs to plastic, canned, glass bottles or containers, and instead use our natural resources.

I definitely agree with your examples and views on this subject. I have had to do many projects in high school about this topic and have realized what an issue it really is. How could we not know that there is a huge patch of garbage the size of Texas or bigger floating in the middle of the ocean? I think that we need to inform EVERYONE in the world about this. If we all come together to clean this up, it just might work. I agree with you that this is ruining the ocean for later generations. They won't be able to use or play in the ocean as we do. That should be motivation for us.

The ocean is a very important part of our lives. My family is one of those people who goes fishing and diving a lot. It would definately be terrible if we started catching trash and plastic instead of fish. At Keomoku, there's a lot of trash that comes from the ocean and ends up all over the beach. People do need to step up and start making a change. I also hope it will change soon so that the future generations can experience ocean activities.
