Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park - Kilauea Visitor Center Auditorium AFTER DARK IN THE PARK Tuesday, February 15, 2005, 7 pm “Underwater History: Shipwrecks in the Hawaiian Islands” Surrounded by thousands of miles of open water, the Hawaiian Island chain is one of the most ocean-oriented places on the planet. Not surprisingly, hundreds of ships have been lost among the rocks and reefs of this archipelago. Time capsules of the past, many of the older wrecks offer information about Hawaiian and Pacific history. What can these resources tell us about our maritime heritage, and what is involved in their discovery and investigation? Join maritime archeologist Dr. Hans Van Tilburg, who works with NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program, for an update on Hawai’i’s underwater historic treasures. Learn about the submarines, flying boats, whalers and side wheel steamers that lie unseen beneath the waves. Co-sponsored

Visitor Center Auditorium “The Silent Invasion: Pests in Paradise” Snakes, alien algae, miconia, coqui frogs…..the Hawaiian Islands and surrounding reefs are under attack by invasive aliens. Invasive alien species are plants, animals and diseases that thrive in a location where they are not native, causing harm to the environment, to the economy or to human health. In Hawai’i, millions of dollars are spent each year controlling invasive pests and losses due to their presence are huge. Almost daily, alien species continue to pour in. If just a handful of some particularly devastating critters like biting sand flies or West Nile virus reach our shores, it would permanently impact our economy, environment, human health and quality of life. Join Christy Martin, Public Information Officer for the Coordinating Group on Alien Pest Species, for an update on the array of invasive pests we face in Hawai’i. Learn about efforts underway to prevent and control the spread of invasive aliens and gaps we need to address in our protection system.

Pacific Tsunami Museum's Third Annual Tsunami Story Festival “Shinmachi, the Lost Town on the Bay”. What now is named Wailoa State Park was once a unique and colorful town called Shinmachi, which in Japanese means New Town. The tsunami of 1946 decimated the homes and living quarters of hundreds of people who lived there, and in 1960 the remaining structures and businesses were leveled by the tsunami from Chile. A way of life was washed away forever. The Pacific Tsunami Museum has been collecting the stories of Shinmachi’s history through a grant from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and now, in a collaborative effort with the Hawaii Island Writers Association (HIWA), compiling these stories into an anthology for future generations and reference. Anyone who has a story or pictures they would like to share are encouraged to contact the museum at 935-0926 or email to tsunami@tsunami.org. In the picture are event planners Alan Okinaka, HIWA member and Pacific Tsunami Museum board member and Donna Saiki, Pacific Tsunami Museum Director with one of the oldest survivors of Shinmachi, Chidori Uchima Yanagihara.
