Aloha!
from Bradda SkibsMahalo for visiting the Basic Image website. Since 2003, we have transformed four beach parks, Honoli'i, Hakalau Bay, Poho'iki and Waiuli. Together we partner with residents, community organizations, schools, and at times, tourist to conserve our treasured surf and beach spots. The beautification projects produce more open space, thereby allowing surfers and non-surfers to enjoy the beach and parks.
There is still work to be done. I encourage you to join us as we are more effective when we work together. small world, big island.
We all must get along, cooperate, respect and remember each other.
We all must malama'aina. This is living aloha, giving back, helping and sharing.
Take Care, God Bless, Love you guys!

Watersheds Need Our Help
You can help to protect and restore Hawaiian rain forests and watersheds!
Here are ways that you can help,
You can help to protect and restore Hawaiian rain forests and watersheds!
Here are ways that you can help,
- Participate in projects that remove invasive plants and allow native Hawaiian plants and animal populations to recover areas where they were displaced.
- Join community watershed partnerships, which plan, organize activities for watershed protection, restoration, and education.
- Conserve water everyday, all year long. Water conservation reduces the need to use ground water that is essential for healthy watershed forests and stream ecosystems.
What's a Watershed?
What is a Watershed?
A watershed is an area of land enclosed by mountain ridges that catches and collects rainwater to continually replenish ground water supplies.
What Threatens the Watershed?
Invasive plants, foreign plants and animals introduced by Western settlement threaten Hawaiian rain forest by destroying native plants and animals and invading the environment, and reduces the watershed's ability to catch and retain water.
The following are examples of non-native plants and animals that have invaded our Hawaiian forest:

The following are examples of non-native plants and animals that have invaded our Hawaiian forest:
- Miconia, Christmas Berry, Guava, and Clidemia are examples of plants that displace forest plants and kill understory growth, causing erosion of watershed land.
- Pigs, goats, and sheep eat and uproot native plants, creating soil erosion and space for foreign plants to grow.
