A slideshow about environmental issues in Hawaii

1. Environmental Issues in Hawaii
By James Jackson Measles

2. Overfishing is a big problem in Hawaii

3. 11/27 reef fish species are experiencing overfishing

4. Invasive species such as the roi, toau and taape are
hurting the native species, because fisherman don’t
take them

5. Trash on the beach is another big
environmental issue in Hawaii

6. In past years, Hawaii’s trash problem has been
attributed to the 2011 tsunami in Japan, but
recent studies say it is no longer the case.

7. Most trash lands on North and East facing
beaches, coming from all over the world through
ocean currents

8. Invasive land species are damaging Hawaii’s
ecosystem

9. The bingabing tree is too shady and chokes out
surrounding plants

10. Mongoose steal and eat the eggs of native
Hawaiian birds
