Beach Walk 694 – Diner’s Fish Report

September 29, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Fish is a longtime staple in the diet here in Hawai’i, and you’ve probably noticed people fishing in the background of many Beach Walks episodes.

Yet at the same time fish populations are declining from the large scale commercial operations, that seem to be impervious to the effects of their behavior. If you want to eat fish but don’t know which ones are not threatened, you can now text “FISH” to 30644 right from your phone to find out. This is so convenient – you can do it while perusing a menu.

Iʻa: fish

Beach Walk 639R – Kailua Beach Clean-up

May 20, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Every year the local shop, Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks, hosts a beach clean up. If you fill a bag with collected trash, they’ll give you a coupon for two hours of free kayak rental. We did this episode originally in 2006, and I still really like it, despite the somewhat discouraging reason for being at the beach. OTOH, we have some great music from JRoQ, and I love Shane’s editing too.

So come on down to Kailua Beach this Sunday, help us clean up and get a free coupon for 2 hours on our beautiful bay!

I am in San Francisco this week at the ad:tech show meeting some fabulously interesting and forward-thinking people.

I grabbed this episode on my portable Sanyo Xacti just before the awards ceremony began. Doron Wesly has a heart of gold and Susan Bratton shares an amazing accomplishment; both have some inspiring words to share with us. If you’re interested in the topic of plastic water bottles, check out Beach Walk 495.
