Kaimū, Hawaii
Kaimū was a small town in the Puna District on Island of Hawaiʻi that was completely destroyed by an eruptive flow of lava from the Kūpaʻianahā vent of the Kīlauea volcano in 1990. In Hawaiian, kai mū means "gathering [at the] sea" as to watch surfing. The lava flow that destroyed Kaimū and nearby Kalapana erupted from the southeast rift zone of Kīlauea.
Before volcanic destruction
Kaimū was located on Kaimū Bay. The bay was noteworthy for its spectacularly beautiful black sand beach which was surrounded by shady palm trees.
After volcanic destruction
Now both the bay and the town are buried under some 50 feet (15 m) of lava. A large section of State Route 130 (Kaimu-Chain of Craters Road) was also covered by the lava. The road is on top of the cooled lava now, with some homes built on top of the lava. There is also the New Beach, black sand like the old, where locals and caring visitors are helping to restore what was lost by bringing sprouted coconuts and planting them.

KAIM-FM
KAIM-FM, "95.5 The Fish", is a Contemporary Christian radio station based in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Salem Communications outlet broadcasts at 95.5 MHz with an ERP of 100 kW.
History
KAIM was originally a traditional religious programming outlet owned by the Reverend Billy Graham through his ministry when it was launched in 1978, but later sold both the AM and FM to Salem. Even though they have been a Contemporary Christian outlet since 1992, it wasn't until after Salem bought the station in 2000 that it adopted "The Fish" moniker and slogan.
