Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - August 16, 2010

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

NEARLY 40,000 NATIVE REEF FISH ARE SAFER TODAY THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY. THERE WERE 37 TWO-DIVER TEAMS OUT TO CATCH ROI - DEAD - NOT ALIVE - ALONG WITH OTHER INVASIVE REEF PREDATORS INCLUDING TA'APE AND TO'AU. THE TOTAL OF THIS YEAR'S ROI ROUNDUP WAS 271 FISH CAUGHT. AND BASED ON THE AVERAGE OF EACH INVADER CONSUMING AN AVERAGE OF 146 NATIVE REEF FISH - THE MATH COMPUTES TO 39,566 NATIVE REEF FISH IN WEST MAUI THAT WILL NOT BE EATEN BY INVASIVE SPECIES.

THERE'S ANOTHER DISAPPEARING ACT HAPPENING AT THE OPPOSITE END OF MAUI - CAMPFIRES AT HALEAKALA ARE BANNED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS HAVE LED PARK RANGERS TO BAN OPEN FIRES FOR NOW. THEY ENCOURAGE CAMPERS TO USE SELF-CONTAINED COOKING STOVES OR PARK-PROVIDED GRILLS. AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS THERE IS NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.

ISLAND WEATHER - BREEZY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. LOOK FOR LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW MOST SUNNY - WINDY AGAIN AND HIGHS NEAR 90.
