Kapoo Tidepools News Today

Overcrowding and disruption of the semi-enclosed tide pools at Sharks Cove, neighboring Three Tables shoreline and nearshore waters, and underwater features in deeper water throughout the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District on the North Shore, have been a focus of concern for those observing the ecosystem for at least a generation.

Experts say an understanding of the tourist capacity limits for local communities in the islands would help inform policies.
