Concerns have been raised over potential environmental damage to Kaneohe Bay's coral reefs and marine life after a Navy P-8A aircraft overshot the runway and ended up in shallow water at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The plane, which is based out of Whidbey Island in Washington, remains surrounded by containment booms to prevent the leakage of hazardous materials into the bay and ocean. Environmentalists and elected officials are frustrated that the Navy's comments on the incident came from San Diego and not directly from Marines in Kaneohe. There are fears that the plane's presence could cause damage to the nearby coral reefs and other marine life, as well as concerns about the potential for fuel or chemical leaks. Representatives have called for transparency and a timeline to remove the plane and address any environmental concerns. The flight data recorder has been recovered and the Navy's Aircraft Mishap Board is investigating the cause of the accident.
