Crews back at work on fishpond
By ILIMA LOOMIS Staff Writer
WAILUKU – There was more than normal dismay felt by the crew of volunteers involved in rebuilding the rock wall that forms the Koieie fishpond when a section of the wall collapsed earlier this month.
“It’s cultural work and spiritual work – it’s not just regular work,” said Kimokeo Kapahulehua, president of ’Ao’ao O Na Loko I’a O Maui, the association restoring the historic fishpond. |

Case made for Fishpond
By MELISSA TANJI, Staff Writer
KIHEI
U.S. Rep. Ed Case made good Sunday morning on a promise to return to Ko’ie’ie Loko I’a in Kihei and lay stones with those rebuilding the ancient fishpond.
Stepping out of the neatly pressed suit and tie he’d wear as a member of Congress, Case put on surf shorts, heavy-duty boots and a long-sleeved shirt that said, “Revitalizing a wall; Revitalizing a Culture.” He pitched in with more than 10 others carrying, stacking and sorting through rocks to be added to the wall of the royal fishpond. |

KIHEI
The work to revive an ancient Hawaiian fishpond has begun in waters off South Maui.
When it’s done in a year or so, the fishpond called Ko’ie’ie Loko I’a will provide a glimpse of how people in old Hawaii thrived by what they harvested from the ocean.
The Ko’ie’ie fishpond, which is listed as a National Historic Preservation Site, sits off Kalepolepo Park on South Kihei Road between the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and the Menehune Shores condominium. |

“Fishponds were things that beautified the land,
and a land with many fishponds
was called a fat land.”
Samuel Kamakau, 1869
As the tide ebbs, big black rocks break the surface of the placid water. They look like huge turtles at rest. As the tide continues to recede, a 1,000-foot-long semicircle of tumbled, wave-washed rocks is revealed. It is the wall of Ko‘ie‘ie, an ancient Hawaiian loko i‘a (fishpond) in front of Kalepolepo County Park in Kïhei. |
