geo.wikisort.org - ReservoirThe Menehune Fishpond, near Līhuʻe, Hawai`i, on the island of Kaua`i, is a historic Hawaiian fishpond. Also known as Alakoko Fishpond,[2] it has been listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
United States historic place
The pond is bounded by a 900-foot-long wall (270 m) at a large bend in Hulēʻia River.[3][4] It has been deemed "the most significant fishpond on Kauai, both in Hawaiian legends and folklore and in the eyes [of] Kauai's people today".[5] It is the largest fishpond on Kaua`i, is estimated to have been constructed in the 15th century, and may be the first brackish-water fishpond in the Hawaiian Islands. Its construction is traditionally attributed to the Menehune, a mythical people said to have inhabited Hawai`i before the arrival of the Hawaiians.[5]
It was listed on the U.S. National Register in 1973; the listing included one contributing site and one contributing structure.[1] In 2021 it was purchased by The Trust for Public Land and conveyed to Malama Hule‘ia, which has been restoring the land since 2018.[6]
