Na Papa'i ma ka loko i'a 'O He'eia!.......Crabs at He'eia fishpond!
Aloha Kakou 'Apau!
Sorry so late! I recently recieved the crab photos that Megsie took from the fishpond during a couple make-up days a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I was unable to get the pictures from the first make-up day so these photos were from the days after.
We went out in the boat to each site and dropped the big crab traps, the next day we went back out to check them. The day we were checking the big crab traps, we also layed the smaller crab nets to see which type of smaller crabs there were at the different sites. The only problem with the smaller crab nets was if we weren't fast enough at pulling the crab nets up, the crabs could climb out or through the net. That happened a few times and they even fell in the boat!
Another exciting day at Paepae 'O He'eia!
