Hawaiian Reef Animals

Hawaii, her land and the traditions of her people, has evolved intimately tied to the sea. The Islands themselves erupted from the ocean floor in times so recent that signs of their birth remain everywhere, and a marine tradition permeates all of man's history on these bits of land. All forms of marine life - the fishes, corals, crustaceans, mollusks, even seaweeds are grouped together by Hawaiians.
