ʻO nā hana manō he nui loa nā kānaka i nā wai Hawaiʻi . He mea maʻamau loa, eʻikeʻia ana ma ka palena ma kahi o 3 a 4 mau makahiki. Mai 1828 a hiki iā Iulai 2016 ua hoʻokūpaʻaʻia he 150 mau mea i hōʻehaʻoleʻia e like me nā koi shark, a me 10 mau mea make,ʻekolu i hala i nā makahiki 4 i hala hope nei - he wā kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa o ka hopena i ka 14 ma 2013.
He nui loa nāʻano momona o nā manō momona, akā e nānā nui i ka heluna o nā poʻe eʻauʻau ana, e heʻenalu, e hoʻopunipuni aiʻole e luʻu i ka wai o Hawaiʻi.

Pono nā kānaka e komo i loko o ka wai e hoʻomaopopo he pilikia nā mea huna. E komo i loko o ke kai he "wao nahele." Ma ka aʻoʻana i nā mea hou e pili ana i nā manō, me ka hoʻohanaʻana i ka manaʻo maʻamau, a me ka nānāʻana i nā'ōlelo palekana e pili nei, hiki ke hoʻemi ikiʻia ka pilikia.
Eia keʻano
• E holoholo, e heʻenalu, aiʻole e luʻu me nā kānaka'ē aʻe, a mai neʻe iki i kahi kōkua. Inā hoʻoholoʻoe e hele i kahi holo kaʻaʻaupuni, hiki iāʻoe ke maopopo loa i ka loaʻaʻana o nā paila o ka moku i loko o ka wai e paipai i nā poʻe a pau e pili ana i kekahi pilikia e hiki mai ana. ʻO nā pākani koi ma kēia mau helehelena he mea nui loa, kokoke i ka loheʻoleʻia.
• E noho i waho o ka wai i ka wanaʻao, i ka pō, a me ka pō, i ka heleʻana o kekahi mau mano mano i uka e hānai. ʻO ka hapa nui ka hopena i kaʻikeʻana o nā manō i ka meaʻauʻau no keʻano o nāʻano meaʻai maoli, e like me ka hōʻailona monk.

• E hōʻole i ka'ōpala nui; e mālama i nā meaʻaiʻai, eʻauʻau maʻamau, mai loko mai o ka wai. Hoʻomaopopoʻia ka poʻe kūkā i ka hana.
• Mai komo i ka wai ināʻikeʻia nā manō e noho mai, a haʻalele i ka wai me ka mālie ināʻikeʻia kekahi. Mai hoʻonāukiuki i kahi manō paha, i kahi meaʻuʻuku paha.

• E holo a heʻenalu paha i nā kahakai i hoʻopuniʻia e nā mālama ola, ae hahai i kā lākou'ōlelo aʻo.
