KEKAHA, Hawai‘i (April 26, 2024) Students visiting Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, watch a demonstration of Sweep, a bird-hazing dog, following commands during PMRF's Earth Day Celebration. Sweep is part of PMRF’s interagency agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture to manage encroachment of birds in hazardous areas on PMRF. A total of 112 students from four local schools visited PMRF for the annual Earth Day Celebration. During the event participants cleared 208 pounds of debris from the beach at Waiokapua Bay. Students were educated on the importance of Earth Day and being good stewards of the land by the PMRF Environmental team and partners such as the Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources, Ho'omalu Ke Kai, County of Kauai Recycling, Kauai Invasive Species Committee, Kaunalewa, Na Maka Onaona, Save Our Shearwaters, The Nature Conservancy, and USDA Wildlife Services.
