☆ Water at Kealia pond in Hawaii has turned pink amid drought
  + stars: | 2023-11-10 | by ( Angela Fritz | Abigail Holmes | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Water at the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, one of the few coastal salt marshes on the island of Maui, has been bright pink since at least October 30, officials say, after its salt content surged amid an extreme drought. While Kealia literally means “salt encrustation,” the pond’s salinity has skyrocketed well beyond normal because of Maui’s extreme drought. The entire island is in severe or worse drought, according to the US Drought Monitor. The area where the Kealia Pond refuge is located is in what’s considered an extreme drought – the second-worst on the Drought Monitor’s scale. @Traviskeahi_photo/InstagramThe Waikapu Stream, which brings water from the West Maui Mountains down into the Kealia Pond, also flows through the area of extreme drought.

☆ Wildlife Refuge Pond in Hawaii Mysteriously Turns Bright Pink. Drought May Be to Blame

Staff at the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge on Maui have been monitoring the pink water since Oct. 30. The salinity inside the Kealia Pond outlet area is currently greater than 70 parts per thousand, which is twice the salinity of seawater. Curious visitors have flocked to the park after photos of the pink pond appeared on social media. But no, they’re here to see the pink water," Wolfe joked. As a wildlife refuge, people aren't supposed to wade into the pond or let their pets in the water regardless of its color.

☆ The Trees Arrived With Polynesian Voyagers. After Maui Wildfire, There's a Chance to Restore Them

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — For people around the world, the green leaves that sprouted from a scorched, 150-year-old banyan tree in the heart of devastated Lahaina symbolized hope following Maui’s deadly wildfire this summer. Before colonialism, commercial agriculture and tourism, thousands of breadfruit trees dotted Lahaina; the fire charred all but two of the dozen or so that remained. By contrast, researchers believe breadfruit and kukui nut — now the state tree of Hawaii — were among the many edible plants Polynesian voyagers brought around 1,000 years ago. Efforts to revive the banyan and other important surviving trees have included trucking in water, applying compost extract and testing soil. But replanting breadfruit in urban areas comes with challenges, said Steve Nimz, an arborist on Oahu who has been helping restore Lahaina’s trees.
