Keawanui Update - 8/30/24

Aug 28, 2024
1 min read



This month our team worked in the loko iʻa (fishpond) to upgrade our mākāhā (sluice gate). How do mākāhā work? The mākāhā is a gate situated within the rock wall enclosure. It has thin openings so smaller fish can come in to eat. As the fish eat and grow they become too big to exit through the same mākāhā, keeping them in the loko for us to catch and eat. Kalaniua Ritte, our ED and master fishpond practitioner, has spent decades refiguring mākāhā at Keawanui to better control fish populations in the pond. Keawanui loko iʻa is large, totalling at 55 acres.


Maintaining and caring for this precious resource comes with a very specific skill set and lots of hard work dedication. It also requires keen observation of the environment around us. As the fish evolve, we must also evolve and be prepared for anything!

I came across this site while looking for more grounded discussions on remote work, and it did not disappoint. The posts are concise, without fluff, and often include small but useful tips for staying productive. The occasional cat references make the reading more enjoyable without becoming a distraction. You can find the full blog at gatosoft.com for a closer look.

Mình cũng từng thấy X88 được nhắc trong vài cuộc thảo luận nên tò mò vào xem thử. Ấn tượng đầu tiên là giao diện khá gọn, các mục được sắp xếp tương đối dễ nhìn.

Really interesting to learn how traditional fishpond engineering works. Looking forward to seeing more about the mākāhā—and then unwinding with a few rounds of my favorite drift boss.

It is fascinating how keen observation is required for managing 55 acres. Just as fish grow too large for the gates, I enjoy seeing how items evolve in the スイカゲーム logic. Both require strategic planning to succeed. Thank you for sharing such dedicated conservation work with everyone.
