This geodetic disk is almost similar to one at the Waikiki Aquarium (Waymark Code: WMCDCV on the site), only this has a Humpback Whale tail, and ringed around the edge are the agencies NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY, NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION, NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES PROGRAM. It is "overlooking" the Ko'ie'ie Fishpond (Waymark Code: WMDTKE on the site) in between two information boards talking about the fishpond and the various marine mammals.

The nearest NGS PID is TU2986, which has been destroyed and was located almost next door to the marker. The next nearest existing NGS PID is TU0861, which is about 0.2 miles north/northeast of the marker.
