Oahu
This island is home to pineapple fields,
the famous Waikiki beach, the
Waikiki
Aquarium and surfers flock
to the North Shore for the infamous Bonsai Pipeline. Oahu is the main
gateway to mainland destinations in the US, Europe, and Asia. In the
marine ornamental trade Oahu serves as a connection for fish coming from
Christmas Island, the Big Island of Hawaii as well as fish and
invertebrate collection on it's West and Eastern shores.
AquaTouch works directly with collectors in various locations around the
world to improve the quality of livestock we make available to our
customers. Occasionally, we will visit them to learn first hand the
techniques and processes our fish experience before we receive them.
AquaTouch is committed to supporting collectors that operate in a
conscientious and sustainable manor to ensure the future well being of
coral reefs. Below are examples of some of our Hawaiian collectors hard
at work. Enjoy!
