Hanauma Bay is a fringing reef in a flooded crater. It was, in the past a popular location where hoards of tourists came to feed fishes with frozen peas etc. This location and its organisms became very seriously damaged. The nature park is now much more regulated, with folk charged for daily limited entrance tickets and parking. People are firmly instructed how to behave and prevented from damaging activities. This location is, in no sense, wild but the organisms now thrive much better.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
