Hanalei Bay: "A Paradisiacal War Zone" ||
If I hadn't been accompanied by one of Kauai's dedicated marine biologists, I never would have known, by simply standing in Hanalei Bay, that I was wading through a war zone. It was a silent kind of war - at least, that was how it seemed on the surface. But with large amounts of consumer waste, in addition to the 992,000,000 watts of electromagnetic radiation pulsing through the reefs each second, it became more apparent that the battle taking place below sea level was far from a quiet one. For more than a decade, the U.S military has been using sonar testing on Kauai, in order to replace nuclear warfare. Kauai's waters have become increasingly polluted both from manmade waste and electromagnetic dumping.
