Colorful fishes that cross the coral reefs full of natural beauty and the swimming pool. Outstanding among the beautiful Hawaiian beaches, "Hanauma Bay" in eastern Oahu. Hanauma Bay, which was ranked No. 1 on the best beaches in the United States, is reported to have undergone a recent positive change.
According to a report from a researcher at the University of Hawaii, the transparency of water in Hanauma Bay, which has been temporarily closed since the pandemic of the new Corona, is 42% higher than when people were visiting it. It is 18% more transparent than Tuesday, which is a regular holiday when it opens.
The Hanauma Bay has been closed to public access since March 2020, and this research was conducted from April 21 to June 16, 2020.
Marine biologists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa were surprised by the greater transparency compared to Tuesday, which is usually closed, and speculate that this phenomenon is due to sand and sediment remaining in the sediment. I will.
I am looking forward to seeing how beautiful the seawater in Hanauma Bay, which is highly transparent even in normal times, will become beautiful.

We hope that the situation will be settled quickly and everyone will be able to travel with peace of mind, and that the day when we can enjoy snorkeling in Hanauma Bay will arrive as soon as possible.
We are pleased to announce that the Honolulu Marathon Association has abandoned the 48th Honolulu Marathon 2020, which was scheduled for December 13, 2020.
After much discussion and consideration with the Honolulu County Government and the Hawaii State Government, we came to the conclusion that the race will not be held in December of this year.
We know that you are all training hard and looking forward to participating in the Honolulu Marathon.
I am very sorry for this painful decision as well as everyone else.
Related events such as 10K Run & Walk and Kalakaua Merry Miles will not be held in December this year.
We will also consider and discuss alternative dates that can be postponed in the first half of 2021.
If you cannot schedule the postponement in 2021
All entrants will be able to participate in the 49th Honolulu Marathon in December 2021 at no additional charge.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
