What is the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a current issues?

The humuhumunukunukuapua'a (pronounced just like it looks)* is the Hawaiian name of the Hawaiian Reef Triggerfish. For a while, it was the official Hawaiian State Fish, but the state legislature changes the official state fish every few years. The "Humu Triggerfish" is a small fish, hardly longer than its' name, but like most Hawaiian fish, VERY brightly colored.

"Issues" for this fish, as for most tropical marine life, are biome changes especially invasive species such as anemones and starfish. One problem with starfish was that the starfish were destroying the coral reefs, so divers were pulling up the starfish, cutting them apart to kill them, and throwing the pieces back into the sea. Unfortunately, cutting up a starfish just makes more starfish, because if there is any part of the core of the starfish, each piece will grow into another starfish.

In some cases, the best solution to invasive species is to eat them. In the Caribbean, the invasive poisonous lionfish turns out to be a delicious delicacy.

It's pronounced "hoomoo-hoomoo-nookoo-nookoo-a-pooh-a-a". There was no written Hawaiian language; the early Christian missionaries transliterated the Hawaiian words in the most transparent way possible, and every letter is pronounced. This can lead to some humorous situations, in places where Hawaiian words are printed next to English words.

One highway on Oahu is the Likelike highway, pronounced "lee-kay-lee-kay". So if you see a sign that says "Pipeline", how is this pronounced? "Pipe-line".

Can you drive from Honolulu to Maui?
