The Amazing World of NELHA: Big Island Abalone
One of the largest abalone aquaculture operations in the world is found on the Kona Coast of Hawaii at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (knows as NELHA). Deep sea water is pumped up to the surface for OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) where the nutrient rich seawater from 3000' deep is used to grow a variety of seafood for Hawaii's food security. On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the Friends of NELHA runs a presentation and tour which includes the abalone farm. For tour information, please visit the Friends of NELHA website at FriendsofNELHA.org or call (808) 329-8073 for information.

The red abalone fishery is closed down until 2021 in hopes that the snail population would rebound. Many coastal communities are suffering from the closure.

Ka Lae ( South Point ) Big Island of Hawaii - Locals & Tourist Jumping off cliff and swimming
Had the opportunity to visit my parents back home in Hawaii. We went to one of my favorite places on the Big Island . KA LAE . If you look on the map, it is located on the Southern more tip of the United States. Alot of locals go there to jump off the cliff sea wall . It is popular for fishing and diving. Over the years , tourist have found out about this and have come by the dozens to view this beautiful place. It was kinda a bummer to see , but was glad the locals kept watch on them not to disrespect the Aina ( land ) and Moana ( Ocean ) .
The music in this video is by myself, it is called Adrift . Thought it be fitting for the ocean scenery. It is on my Sage Diaries Album . Please do not use my music without permission as my songs are my personal journey through sound.
Aloha and Mahalo for watching

Plantation - Big Island, Hawaii-UHD 4K
We bought some mountain apples and lychees at a local farmer's market in the Big Island of Hawaii. We also went to a coffee plantation where we saw the lychee trees, banana tree, avocado trees and coffee trees. We also learned about coffee, from how the coffee trees grow to how the beans are processed, and what makes Kona coffee so special
The Big Island is the largest and the southeastern-most of the Hawaiian islands, a chain of volcanic islands in the North Pacific Ocean. With an area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2), it is larger than all of the other islands in the archipelago combined and is the largest island in the United States.

Thurston Lava Tube, Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii, United States, North America
Lava tubes are natural conduits through which lava travels beneath the surface of a lava flow, expelled by a volcano during an eruption. They can be actively draining lava from a source, or can be extinct, meaning the lava flow has ceased and the rock has cooled and left a long, cave-like channel. Lava tubes are likely to exist on previously or currently geologically active planets or moons, including the Earth. Lava tubes are a type of lava cave formed when an active low-viscosity lava flow develops a continuous and hard crust, which thickens and forms a roof above the still-flowing lava stream. Tubes form in one of two ways: by the crusting over of lava channels, and from pahoehoe flows where the lava is moving under the surface. Lava usually leaves the point of eruption in channels. These channels tend to stay very hot as their surroundings cool. This means they slowly develop walls around them as the surrounding lava cools and/or as the channel melts its way deeper. These channels can get deep enough to crust over, forming an insulating tube that keeps the lava molten and serves as a conduit for the flowing lava. These types of lava tubes tend to be closer to the lava eruption point. Further away from the eruption point, lava can flow in an unchanneled, fanlike manner as it leaves its source, which is usually another lava tube leading back to the eruption point. Called pahoehoe flows, these areas of surface-moving lava cool, forming either a smooth or rough, ropy surface. The lava continues to flow this way until it begins to block its source. At this point, the subsurface lava is still hot enough to break out at a point, and from this point the lava begins as a new source. Lava flows from the previous source to this breakout point as the surrounding lava of the pahoehoe flow cools. This forms an underground channel that becomes a lava tube. A broad lava-flow field often consists of a main lava tube and a series of smaller tubes that supply lava to the front of one or more separate flows. When the supply of lava stops at the end of an eruption or lava is diverted elsewhere, lava in the tube system drains downslope and leaves partially empty cave-like conduits beneath the ground. Such drained tubes commonly exhibit step marks on their walls that mark the various depths at which the lava flowed, known as flow ledges or flow lines depending on how prominently they protrude from the walls. Lava tubes generally have pahoehoe floors, although this may often be covered in breakdown from the ceiling. A variety of speleothems may be found in lava tubes including a variety of stalactite forms generally known as lavacicles, which can be of the splash, shark tooth, or tubular variety. Lavacicles are the most common of lava tube speleothems. Drip stalagmites may form under tubular lava stalactites, and the latter may grade into a form known as a tubular lava helictite. A runner is a bead of lava that extrudes from a small opening and then runs down a wall. Lava tubes may also contain mineral deposits that most commonly take the form of crusts or small crystals, and less commonly, as stalactites and stalagmites.
Lava tubes can be up to 14-15 metres (46--49 ft) wide, though are often narrower, and run anywhere from 1-15 metres (3 ft 3 in-49 ft 3 in) below the surface. Lava tubes can also be extremely long; one tube from the Mauna Loa 1859 flow enters the ocean about 50 kilometers (31 mi) from its eruption point, and the Cueva del Viento - Sobrado system on Teide, Tenerife island, is over 18 kilometers (11 mi) long, due to extensive braided maze areas at the upper zones of the system. A lava tube system in Kiama, Australia, consists of over 20 tubes, many of which are breakouts of a main lava tube. The largest of these lava tubes is 2 meters (6.6 ft) in diameter and has columnar jointing due to the large cooling surface. Other tubes have concentric and radial jointing features. The tubes are infilled due to the low slope angle of emplacement. Lunar lava tubes have been discovered and have been studied as possible human habitats, providing natural shielding from radiation. On Mars, the flanks of Olympus Mons are made up of innumerable lava flows and lava channels. Partially collapsed lava tubes are visible as chains of pit craters, and broad lava fans formed by lava emerging from intact, subsurface tubes are also common.
