  2. Terry,

    Thank you for your website. We found you while looking for places to scuba dive this coming April in North Kuaui. My son is 11 and loves the ocean and Scuba diving. If there is anything we can help with while we are there, we would love to be able to help. We are both certified divers and planned on beach diving 1-2 dives a day for a week.

    Thank you for the website it helps to spread the word of the horrible reef bacteria and hopefully helps find a solution or cure.

  3. Hi Terry,
    I enjoyed reading about the latest studies on the die-off of coral along the north shore of Kaua’i.
    The cyanobacteria is feeding off nutrients in the water. Could phosphorous be a possible nutrient?
    Since the bacteria found on the reefs is capable of taking nitrogen from the atmosphere and reducing it to organic nitrogen, phosphorous is the limiting agent. In other words, without phosphorous there is no growth. The main source of phosphorous is found in human waste and fertilizer.
    The Princeville Sewage Treatment Plant does not have tertiary treatment for removal of nitrogen or phosphorous in the effluent therefore a large quantity of these nutrients is being released into the environment. Septic systems do not remove nutrients from the effluent, therefore a plume of nutrient laden effluent is slowly released into the ground where it eventually empties into the ocean.

  4. Terry, I met you after the Princeville talk and would be happy to volunteer dive time on the infected reefs. I live on the N. shore and I have my own gear. Rick
