Maui alakai
Humpback whale e nana ana mai ka wai o Maui Komohana.
Holo nā koholā humpback ma nā wai Hawaiʻi i ka hoʻoilo, me Maui Komohana e hāʻawi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi ma ke kahawai. Mai ka Unit 4B, he wahi maʻalahi ka lanai e nānā i ka lewa me ka haʻalele ʻole i ka hale.
E makaʻala no ka hahau ʻana, paʻipaʻi a me ka huelo huelo. Kōkua nā binocular. ʻAʻole i hōʻoia ʻia kahi kipa ʻana, akā ʻo ka hana mālie o ka nānā ʻana i ka wai he ʻāpana o ka ʻike.
Nā koholā, nā holoholona hihiu a me nā wai i mālama ʻia
He mau kaukani kohola humpback o ka Pākīpika ʻĀkau e holo i ka wai mehana a pāpaʻu o Hawaiʻi e hoʻopā, hānau a hānai i nā keiki bipi. ʻO ka manawa nui e holo maʻamau mai Nowemapa a Mei, me ka manawa kiʻekiʻe maʻamau mai Ianuali a Malaki. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma waho o ka piko akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hōʻoia ʻia.
E hoʻomaka me ka maka ʻōlohelohe a nānā i hoʻokahi ʻāpana o ka lewa i ka manawa. Hiki ke hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi pana ma luna o ka wai no ka manawa pōkole; Hiki ke hōʻike i ke kuhikuhi o ka huakaʻi i nā hits hou. Kōkua nā binoculars iā ʻoe e ʻike i ka hope hope, ka ʻūhā umauma a i ʻole ka ʻūhā caudal me ka nalowale ʻole o ka manaʻo holoʻokoʻa.
Hui i ke Kohola Humpback
ʻO nā koholā humpback nā koholā baleen, ʻaʻole nā koholā niho. kou inoa ʻepekema, Megaptera novaeangliaeʻo ia hoʻi ka "Large-winged New Englander" - he kuhikuhi i ko lākou mau pectoral fins lōʻihi loa a me ka ʻāina kahi i hōʻike mua ʻia ai nā mea koholā ʻEulopa.
ʻAi nā koholā Humpback i nā krill a me nā iʻa kula liʻiliʻi ma o nā kānana. Ma kahi o nā niho, ua hoʻopaʻa lākou i nā papa baleen e mālama i kā lākou mea pio i waho o ka nui o ka wai kai. Hiki iā lākou ke hōʻiliʻili i kā lākou mea pio me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōhū, ka walaʻau, ke kai, a i ʻole ko lākou mau pectoral fi; Hana pū kekahi mau pūʻulu no ke kūkulu ʻana i “nā ʻupena hū” ma mua o ka luʻu ʻana i ka iʻa.
ʻAi nā koholā i ʻike ʻia a puni Maui i nā wai anuanu a hua nui o ka Pākīpika ʻĀkau - ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Alaska, British Columbia a me ke Kai Bering - a laila neʻe i Hawaiʻi e male, hānau a hānai i nā keiki bipi. Hōʻike ʻo NOAA e holo ana kekahi i ka huakaʻi ma kahi o 3,000 mile mai Alaska i nā lā 28 wale nō. Ke hilinaʻi nui nei lākou i ka blubber i mālama ʻia ma nā wahi hānai mahana.
Hānau nā wāhine i ka bipi keiki i kēlā me kēia ʻelua a ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope o 11 mahina o ka hāpai ʻana. He 13 a 16 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi o ke keiki hānau hou. Noho kokoke nā keiki bipi i ko lākou mau makuahine, hānai i ka waiū momona, a hiki ke noho me lākou a hiki i hoʻokahi makahiki ma mua o ka hemo ʻana.
Hoʻopuka nā kāne i nā mele lōʻihi a paʻakikī ma nā kahua hānau; Hiki i nā koholā mai ka heluna kanaka hoʻokahi ke mele like i ke mele e ulu nei. He hui kūʻokoʻa ko kēlā huelo o kēlā me kēia kohola o ka pigmentation, ke ʻano a me nā ʻōpala. Kiʻi nā mea noiʻi i kēia mau lee e like me nā manamana lima e ʻike ai i nā poʻe a nānā i kā lākou huakaʻi i ka manawa.

E koho i ke kahua o ke ola a i ʻole ka wā e ʻimi ai i ke ʻano o ka lilo ʻana o kahi bipi keiki ma kahi kokoke i Hawaiʻi kekahi o nā huakaʻi hele lōʻihi loa o ka moana.
Ma hope o 11 mahina o ka hāpai ʻana, hānau ka makuahine i ka bipi keiki. He 13-16 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi o nā keiki hānau hou a noho kokoke.
Ka male ʻana, ka hānau keiki ʻana a me ka hānai ʻana i ka wai mehana a pāpaʻu. ʻO ke kau kiʻekiʻe o ka nānā ʻana a puni Maui ʻo Ianuali a Malaki.
Na wai i mahele i keia mau wai?
E ʻimi i kahi kuʻikuʻi noe, ʻeleʻele kua poʻo, nā ʻuʻu pectoral lōʻihi me ka palena keʻokeʻo, nā ʻeke ʻeke, nā haʻihaʻi, nā kuʻi umauma a me nā kukuna huelo. He ʻokoʻa nā hiʻohiʻona Fluke.
E mālama i kahi mamao ma kahi o 100 mika - koi ʻia e ke kānāwai ma Hawaii.
Hoʻomaha maʻamau ka sila e waiho ʻole ʻia ana ma kahakai a ʻaʻole paʻa. Mai hoʻopiha a hoʻopaʻa i kona ala i ke kai. E noho ma hope o nā hōʻailona a me nā pale.

Hoʻopili ʻia ka wahi i hoʻomalu ʻia i ʻelima mau wahi e pili ana i ʻeono mau mokupuni nui o Hawaiʻi a pale i nā wahi noho hoʻoilo papau. ʻO ka ʻāina ʻo Maui Nui – me nā wai a puni o Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi a me Kahoʻolawe – ʻo ia ka mea nui loa.

Wehe i ka webcam hoʻomau 4K no ka ʻike manawa maoli i ke kahakai, ka ʻāʻī a me ka Moana Pākīpika ma waho o ka Unit 4B. I ka hoʻoilo, e makaʻala i ka hahau ʻana, nā haki a me nā paʻi huelo ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke kahawai.
He moʻolelo moana paʻakikī
ʻO ka pilina Hawaiʻi me ke koholā ma mua o ke kohola kalepa Komohana a ua komo pū ka moʻokūʻauhau, ka mōʻaukala, a me ka pilina moʻomeheu. Hoʻopaʻa ʻo NOAA i nā koholā mua i hopu ʻia e nā poʻe kālepa haole ma waho o Hawaiʻi i ka makahiki 1819. Ma ka waena o ke kenekulia 19, ua lanakila nā moku koholā ʻAmelika i ke kālepa Pākīpika a ua lilo nā awa o Hawaiʻi i mau kikowaena waiwai nui.
Ua hōʻike ʻia ma kahi o 18 mau moku okohola a puni ka laina o Hawaiʻi, me nā moku i nalowale ma kahi kokoke i Maui. I kēia lā, mālama ka hale kapu i nā kohola humpback a me ko lākou wahi noho i ka wehewehe ʻana i kēia moʻolelo moana. He ʻokoʻa ka ʻokoʻa: ke kākoʻo nei nā wai i hui pū ʻia me ka hahai holoholona ʻoihana i ka noiʻi, hoʻonaʻauao, ʻepekema kaiāulu, a me ka hana wehe.
Heluhelu i ka moolelo moana o NOAAmamao i ka hoʻomaha, hānai a me ka neʻe ʻana i nā holoholona - a pale i nā kānaka. Pili kēia mau helu inā ʻoe e nānā ana mai ka waʻa, kayak, ka hoe, i loko o ka wai, a i ʻole mai kahakai.
Hana i kahi lā o ia mea
E mālama i nā binoculars kokoke i ka lānai, e nānā i ka mālamalama o ke kakahiaka, a e hoʻomau ka nānā ʻana i ka webcam ke haʻalele ʻoe.
E nīnau i ka mea hoʻohana pehea lākou e mālama ai i nā mamao kūpono, e kaupalena i nā haunaele a pane aku i ka wā e hoʻokokoke mai ai nā koholā i ka moku.
Hāʻawi ke kikowaena malihini kipa manuahi ma 726 South Kīhei Road i nā hōʻikeʻike, nā papahana a me nā hiʻohiʻona kahakai ma luna o nā wai wahi i mālama ʻia.
