1. Hawaii’s
Environmental
Issues
By: Kim Russell Comenta

2. Pesticide
Issues

7. Ocean Garbage in Hawaii

8. Few months ago,
Hawaii Wildlife
Fund (HWF)
collected and
hauled away
15,000 pounds
of trash, nylon
nets and fishing
line from Kamilo
Beach

9. The Patches of
trash are a result
of oceanic and
atmospheric
pressure that
push free-
floating items in
the ocean

10. Climate Change in Hawaii

11. Hawaii is
susceptible to sea
level rises, coastal
flooding and a
whole host of other
impacts caused by
climate change

12. Whale Skate
Island – It’s
disappearance
wiped our
habitats for
birds, turtles
and other fish
and wildlife
because of Sea
level rise

14. Renewable
Energy in
Hawaii. Does it
affect the
environment?

15. Between 140,000
and 328,000 birds
die each year
from collision
with wind
turbines

16. If a species
disappears or a
new species is
introduced it
can shift an
ecosystem to a
state of
ECOLOGICAL
IMBALANCE.

17. “Not a single
creature on earth
has more or less
right to be here.”
- Anthony
Douglas Williams
