These ever-important lawnmowers, especially the uhu, must be abundant and thriving for seaweeds to remain in check, our corals to survive and flourish, and our beaches to get their essential, desperately needed sand (uhu poop sand).<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As our islands experience serious effects of poor water quality and climate change, including severe coral bleaching, a simple effort of giving uhu and other herbivore fishes a break, taking only what you need to feed your immediate family for that day, will save our coral reefs,&rdquo; Kosaki said. &ldquo;Scientists have found that uhu and important surgeonfishes are particularly overfished, and highly populated islands like <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span> are at less than 5&#37; of their original herbivore fish abundance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Raising awareness<\/h2>\n<p>Ongoing <em>Fish Pono<\/em> television and radio <abbr>PSA<\/abbr>s feature well-known ocean enthusiasts, including navigator Nainoa Thompson of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, champion spearfisher Kimi Werner, waterman and ocean safety expert Brian Keaulana, and bodysurfing champion Mark Cunningham.
