Today was a BuZee daY... I woke up to a day of what we call a "RuSh hoUr". Upon my way to school I saw my fellow classmates @ the traffic light & went straight to PaUpau beaCh. when we arrived it was about 1:30 pm & it was packed! So we found a pavillion & settled down... To the right of the pavillion facing the beach is a 'runoff'... we took some pictures of the runoff & some rocks as well. The rocks was gathered from the beach & taken in to shore where we took pictures of it. The rocks has a lot of algae on it which makes it have a green & slimy texture outside of its rocky surface... what was the cause of this rocks to have algae on them is the runoff that we witnessed at Paupau Beach. It was a drainage system built to have runoff water flows along with dirt, chemicals, and other things that are threatening to the ocean. As I mentioned earlier, the algae are growing on the rocks down the shore. There we were able to find great amounts of algae that are living on the rocks. These rocks are in the ocean water where creatures such as fish, corals, and other important organisms of the marine life are living. Algae is very dangerous and toxic especially when it is already on the rocks. When algae is living on the rocks the corals won't be able to grow on it. The effects of algae are such as: Marine Life are threatened, and if algae grows on the rocks then, corals will not be able to reside there, and Corals will die if it is covered with algae.
