    STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES OFFICE OF CONSERVATION AND COASTAL LANDS Honolulu, Hawaii April 26, 2013 Board of Land and Natural Resources State of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii REGARDING: RULE AMENDMENT KA-lO-Ol Request to Amend Title 13, Chapter 5, Hawaii Administrative Rules (Chap. 13-5, HAR), to Establish the Lawa’i Kai Special Subzone PETITIONERJ LANDOWNER: Chipper Wichman / National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG), Allerton Garden Trust LOCATION: Lawa’i, Koloa District, Island of Kaua’i TMKs: (4) 2-6-002:001, 004-009 & (4) Submerged Lands PETITION AREA: 109.5 acres SUBZONE: Limited/Resource BACKGROUND The proposed project site, named Lawa’i Kai (i.e., the ocean side of Lawa’i), encompasses the area known as the “Allerton Garden” and is a portion of the larger National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) property located in Lawa’i Valley on the south coast of the Island of Kaua’i (Exhibit 1). The subject parcels, included in this proposal, are situated within the State Land Use Conservation District Limited (Lawa ‘I Kai) and Resource (Submerged lands of Lawa’i Bay) Subzones (Exhibit 2). The NTBG property and the larger Lawa’i Valley have historically been utilized for residential, agricultural, and botanical uses since the mid-i 800s. Historical records indicate that the mauka lands, not part of this petition, of the NTBG property were utilized for animal husbandry and grazing practices while the area of Lawa ‘I Kai were typically used for rice and lo’i cultivation. The agricultural development of Lawa’i Valley included the construction of a number of camps and clusters of homes for the myriad of employees that worked the numerous agricultural fields.

  • 2012 Annual Report
    AnnuAl RepoRt 2012 On the cover: Brighamia insignis, commonly known as ‘ālula or ‘ōlulu in Hawaiian, a critically endangered plant endemic to Kaua‘i. This Page: Bamboo Grove, Allerton Garden, Kaua‘i Message froM Chipper WiChMan and Merrill MagoWan 2012 was an important year for the National Tropical Botanical Garden in many ways. One of the most significant was the fact that it marked the first year of our new five-year strategic plan. This plan is our roadmap to achieving our vision and our potential as a leading botanic institution. The plan represents our dreams and aspirations for the future and the first year demonstrated great progress towards the challenging goals we set for ourselves. Two significant key goals of the plan call for the creation of an international center for tropical botany at The Kampong (our garden in Florida) in collaboration with Florida International University and the renewal and improvement of our flagship garden – McBryde Garden. Both of these goals will extend the impact of our organization to a national and international audience as well as help to create a more sustainable organization financially. Significant contributions were received in 2012 towards both of these goals. Another highlight of 2012 was the fall Board meeting held in the United Kingdom. In the 49-year history of our organization, this is the first time the Board has met outside of the United States. The meeting took us to the Eden Project in Cornwall and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in Scotland where they shared their expertise in innovation through marketing, visitor services and education.

  • Artocarpus Altilis) for Food
    Investigations into the Morphological, Agronomic, and Nutritional Diversity within Breadfruit (Artocarpus, Moraceae) as a Resource for Food Security by Andrew Maxwell Phineas Jones A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSIPHY In THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Biology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) December, 2010 ©Andrew Maxwell Phineas Jones, 2010 Abstract Global food security is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity in the 21st century, with the number of undernourished people reaching an unprecedented high of over 1 billion. The problem is most acute in rural areas in tropical climates. Breadfruit (Artocarpus, Moraceae), a high-yielding tropical staple food crop, has been identified under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture for its potential to impact food security. The Breadfruit Institute at the National Tropical Botanical Garden houses the largest breadfruit collection in the world which represents a vast diversity of botanical and nutritional characters developed through millennia of traditional breeding. Breadfruit exhibits a great degree of morphological variability with cultivars that produce small 500g seeded fruit to those that produce large 3.5 kg seedless fruit. Variation is also expressed in the 57 characteristics evaluated in this study, with deep implications regarding the history of breadfruit domestication and the utilization of this crop to bolster food security. Evaluation of agronomic diversity has classified breadfruit into 10 seasonality groups, including non-seasonal, early, and late season cultivars. Informed cultivar selection based on these data will allow the fruiting season to be extended, and year round production will be possible.
