Many years ago, Hawaii was an isolated tropical paradise, far removed from the rest of the world.  Hawaii was discovered by the Polynesians around  400 A.D. and marked the end of Hawaii’s isolation.  Since the discovery of Hawaii by the Polynesians and the arrival of Europeans in the late eighteenth century, this has caused long-term, negative effects on Hawaii’s fragile ecosystem.

All foreigners who visit Hawaii, directly or indirectly alter the ecosystem of the islands, primarily through the introduction of alien species of flora and fauna.  New species have often overwhelmed Hawaii’s fragile habitat, obliterating many of the island’s native populations of plants and animals.  As a result, many species endemic to Hawaii have been classified as endangered species.

The U.S. government and the Hawaiian government have worked hard to protect the endangered species and prevent further damage to the island’s ecosystem. Several of the species are: the Humpback Whale, the Hawaiian Monk Seal, The Nene, the Hawaiian State Bird, and the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle.

Orca or the Killer whale, is the largest species of Delphinidae (oceanic dolphin family). They can be found in the world’s vast oceans, from the icy cold waters of the Arctic and Antartica to tropical warm waters.

They often get a bad rap, but feed mostly on fish. Some populations will hunt warm-blooded marine mammals, such as seals, sea lions and sometimes even larger whales.

Seeing one of the majestic killer whales can be a once in a lifetime experience.  Esther Kiviat wrote an article about her first-hand account seeing a killer whale near Vancouver Island.  Full article
