Ko'ie'ie Fishpond

We were at Ko'ie'ie Fishpond in Kihei on Maui, HI trying to take a survey of the fish there.

Procedure
1. Get into groups of 2
2. Put on Snorkel gear
3. Get materials: underwater slate and a pencil
4. Go into Ko'ie'ie Fishpond5. Swim around the walls of the fishpond looking for fish

Results
In conclusion, my group member and I didn't find any fish in the Ko'ie'ie Fishpond. The reason why is because of sediment that ran off into the fishpond due to the recent storm we had to go through made it very hard to see anything.
