Hi I’m a senior who is doing a English project on invasive fish in Hawaii, would you happen to know a place I could donate the fish, roi, taape, toau, for eating or for farming or any other sort, in the waianae cost area. My email is keahi_Alonzo@yahoo.com
Thank you

There is an annual contest that was created by Darrell Tanaka called the Maui Roi Roundup for just that, to help the reef by removing invasive species. Their efforts have had dramatic effects and not just on Maui, either. If you’re on Maui you can look him up or contact NOAA. I donate roi for research all the time and they are often donated to me by fellow spearfishermen.

Hi, I have been noticing at my local spots that there has been a dramatic increase of roy.I also have noticed the moana and kumu have been decreasing. I am worried about our reefs and the fish we eat. I am trying to get the community of maui to do something about this. i want to through a contest to try and motivate the people to get rid of this invasive species, this also goes for the taipa. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions,
