Additional resources relevant to Pohoiki Bay:
As of June 2026, the Pohoiki webcam has been deactivated and returned to the Hale ‘Ohana.
From June 2025 through May 2026, HVERI operated the Pohoiki webcam, courtesy of the Hale ‘Ohana. The camera faced Pohoiki Bay to the south, to document the dredging of the boat ramp blocked by sediment generated largely during the 2018 Kīlauea eruption. The intent is to restore ocean access for the long tradition of fishermen in this culturally & economically significant area, while also facilitating ocean rescues along the 80 miles of coastline between Hilo and Punalu’u.
