  • HYDROLOGIC and ECOLOGIC INVENTORIES of the COASTAL WATERS of WEST HAWAII Sea Grant College Program, Years 07-08
    HYDROLOGIC AND ECOLOGIC INVENTORIES OF THE COASTAL WATERS OF WEST HAWAII Sea Grant College Program, Years 07-08 ASSOCIATE INVESTIGATORS E. Alison Kay L. Stephen Lau Edward D. Stroup Stephen J. Dollar David P. Fellows PROJECT PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Reginald H.F. Young Technical Report No. 105 Sea Grant Cooperative Report UNIHI-SEAGRANT-CR-77-02 April 1977 This work is a result of research sponsored in part by NOAA Office of Sea Grant, Department of Commerce, under Grant Nos. 04-5-158-17 and 04-6-158­ 44026, Project No. R/CM-09; and the County of Hawaii. The u.S. Government is authorized to produce and distribute reprints for governmental purposes notwithstanding any copyright notations that may appear hereon. S-18L 1 iii ABSTRACT The goal of this projeat was to provide information to the County of Hawaii and to the state for the inteUigent management of the marine and aoastal resouraes of West Hawaii, partiaularly the South KohaZa and North Kona areas. This was aaaompZished through aompilation of inventories of biologiaal, hydrologiaal, and some oaeanographia data for four seleated sites, Puako, Waiulua, ,Anaeho 'omalu, and K?iholo bays. Evaluation was made of existing hydrologia, geologia, oaeanographia, and eaologia data in order to determine the volume and infZuenae of ground­ water disaharge to aoastal areas as well as the biologiaal aommunity strua­ ture in the near-shore w~ters. Researah results have yielded a alassifiaation of the bays aaaording to wave energy and groundWater intrusion. Poor airaulation and high groundWater intrusion result in turbid aonditions with aommunities of low diversity-a aoastal situation suitable perhaps for a small boat harbor or marina, but undesirable for a marine park or preseroe.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 092 559 SP 008 157 TITLE Na Ala Hele (Trails for Walking). INSTITUTION Hawaii State Dept. of Land and Natural Resources, Honolulu.; Hawaii State Dept. of Planning and Economic Development, Honolulu. PUB DATE Mar 73 NOTE 95p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$4.20 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Administration; *Demonstration Projects; Interagency Cooperation; *Interagency Coordination; Parks; Recreation; *Recreational Facilities; *Trails IDENTIFIERS Hawaii; *Hiking ABSTRACT This proposal for the development of a system of administering hiking trails in the state of Hawaii when such trails would involve various public and private jurisdictions emphasizes three elements:(a) proposing means of administration involving multiple jurisdictions;(b) demonstrating by means of a proposed project on the west coast of the Big Island how such a trail administration would work and the benefits anticipated from it; and (c) showing how such a cooperative trails management system involving federal, state, county, and private agencies and individuals can lead to many benefits for all involved and for improved government-citizen management of Hawaii's basic natural resources. The basic concept underlying the proposal is that facilities which are functionally related should be administratively related as well. The concept involves the use of public rights-of-way across private land to connect existing and planned facilities such as parks into a coordinated administrative unit. The concept provides access and increased use without the burden of large fee purchases. The proposal itself consists of (a) an introduction that discusses the setting for the proposed demonstration project and the state and county policy framework; (b) an. outline of the demonstration project; 04 a discussion of the administration of the trails system;(d) a survey of the demonstration project area including a general shoreline survey, coastal geology, coastal ponds, botanical resources, observed wildlife, places of historical, archaeological, and legendary interests; and (e) bibliographies.
