For one and a half years, volunteers have been working hard on cleaning, removing contaminants, and any other items that would harm the environment from the Moko Holo Hele. (Check it out Wikoliana Artificial Reef) The ship is ready for final inspection by state and federal regulatory agencies before she can be sunk to become Hawaii’s next artificial reef.
The state has started on the EA paperwork for the government owned artificial reef sites, which will take time. In the mean while, an organization (non-profit, business, group, etc.) needs to take ownership of the Moko Holo Hele and pay for the required insurance at the pier. If this cannot be secured in a timely matter, the ship will have to be disposed of in deep water.
It is up to the dive community to let the state know how important this is.
