ʻO ke kai ka wai nui o ka wai ma ka honua. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole pono e hoʻopōʻino ka ʻōpala, ka wai hoʻoneʻe home, ka ua waikawa i ke kūlana o ka wai kai, akā ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia Hoʻopili ka hana anthropogenic ikaika i ka mokuʻāina o ka Moana Honua ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa.
ʻŌpala palolo
No nā kānaka, ʻo ka plastic kekahi o nā mea hou i haku ʻia, akā no ke kūlohelohe, he hopena maikaʻi ʻole kā kēia mea, ʻoiai he pae haʻahaʻa o ka biodegradation. I ka manawa ma ke kai, hōʻiliʻili nā huahana plastic a clog i ka wai, a ke hoʻonui nei kā lākou helu i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Phenomena e like me nā ʻōpala i hoʻokumu ʻia ma luna o ka wai, kahi i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka plastic ma mua o ka plankton. Hoʻohui ʻia, lawe nā kamaʻāina o ka moana i ka plastic no ka meaʻai, ʻai a make.
Piʻi ʻaila
ʻO ka ninini ʻaila ka pilikia nui loa o ka moana. Hiki paha i kahi kahe aila a i ʻole hāʻule ka tanker. Ma kahi o 10% o ka nui o nā aila i hana ʻia e kī pū ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Pono ʻia kahi kālā nui e hoʻopau i kahi pōʻino. ʻAʻole mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā kahe o ka aila. ʻO ka hopena, ua uhi ʻia ka ʻilikai me kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ʻae ʻole e hele i ka oxygen. Pau nā meaola kai a me nā holoholona i kēia wahi. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻo ka hopena o ka ninini ʻia o ka aila ma 2010 kahi hoʻololi a lohi i ke kahe o ke kahawai ʻo Gulf, a inā e nalo, e loli nui ke ʻano o ka honua, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a me ʻEulopa.
Hopu iʻa
He pilikia ikaika ka lawaiʻa ʻana i ke kai. ʻAʻole kōkua ʻia kēia ma ka lawaiʻa maʻamau ʻana i ka meaʻai, akā na ka lawaiʻa ʻana ma kahi pae hana. ʻAʻole paʻa nā iʻa lawaiʻa i nā iʻa wale nō, akā, nā dolphins hoʻi, nā manō, nā koholā. Hāʻawi kēia i kahi hōʻemi hana i nā heluna lehulehu o nā kamaʻāina o ke kai he nui. ʻO ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā huahana iʻa ke alakaʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hoʻonele ka poʻe iā lākou iho i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻomau i ka ʻai ʻana i ka iʻa a me nā iʻa iʻa.

ʻAʻole kēia kahi papa inoa piha o nā mea weliweli e hoʻoweliweli ana i ka moana. Hoʻomaopopo e hiki i kēlā me kēia mea ke mālama i nā moana. E hana ai i kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i ka wai ma ka home, mai hoʻolei i nā ʻōpala i loko o nā kino wai, a hoʻēmi i ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā kemika.
