Ellison Thesis Committee: Craig R. Glenn, Chairperson Brian Popp Celia Smith Acknowledgments I would first like to thank my advisor Craig Glenn for all his help developing this project, securing its funding, and providing support and guidance throughout the past two years. His advice and leadership were indispensable in the completion of this project. I would also like to thank my committee members Brian Popp and Celia Smith for their expertise and support. This project would not have been possible without fellow graduate student and project partner Jordan Mason, who provided vital support throughout the project. His help with field work and throughout the entire graduate school process was invaluable and this project could not have been completed without him. I also thank Veronica Gibson, Vanessza Lopez, Jake Harrington, Jiana Blaha, Nerissa Barling, and Sherine S. Boomla for assistance with field work, and Natalie Wallsgrove for assistance in the lab. We thank the private landowners in the Waialua-Haleiwa region who granted access to sample their groundwater wells. We thank Sayo Costantino, Emily Geske, and everyone at Loko Ea Fishpond access. This research was supported by grants to Craig Glenn from the USGS State WRRIP and a grant/cooperative agreement from the national Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Project R/HE-33, which is sponsored by the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program, SOEST, under Institutional Grant No. NA18OAR4170076 from NOAA Office of Sea Grant, Department of Commerce. The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of NOAA or any of its subagencies. i Abstract Anthropogenic nutrient loading has long been identified as potentially harmful to coastal waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands, with excess nutrients being delivered by stream runoff as well as by inputs to groundwaters that exit the coast as submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Identifying, understanding, and quantifying where excess anthropogenic nutrients are introduced to surface and subsurface waters, properly deciphering how they may chemically evolve during transport, and understanding their history and final composition as they are discharged is therefore of vital importance for protecting aquatic resources and the surrounding environments. The Waialua region on the north shore of Oahu is particularly at risk of experiencing harmful effects from nutrient loading due to both its high density of onsite sewage disposal systems (OSDS) and its decades-long history of agricultural nutrient fertilization. We thus used a multi-tracer approach to determine the amount and to differentiate the sources of nutrients entering surface waters, groundwaters and the coastal waters of 15 18 11 this region. Nutrient concentrations, δ Nnitrate and δ Onitrate values, and δ B values were used to establish geochemical and hydrological connections between terrestrial nutrient sources and the groundwater, stream, and coastal waters. Geochemical surveys of benthic macroalgae were performed along major beaches in the region to help confirm sources of nutrients, the extent of nutrient loading at each location, and the distance away from shore that nutrient pollution extended. Results indicate that nutrient concentrations in Waialua region streams are elevated relative to other impaired and pristine streams throughout the Hawaiian Islands. All Waialua region streams showed a seasonal shift in the form of nitrogen with a higher proportion of ammonium in the dry season, suggesting a seasonal 15 decrease in the extent of natural excess nutrient remediation processes. Elevated δ Nnitrate and 18 δ Onitrate values in the region were documented to be associated with the highest OSDS density and indicate significant leaching of wastewater into streams and coastal waters. However, widespread denitrification was found in several beaches and streams, particularly near locations with the highest densities of OSDS. Along the coast, the highest nutrient concentrations were found near the locations with the most OSDS, however the relationship between OSDS density and overall nutrient loading is not simple, as it is clear regions with few OSDS are also experiencing significant nutrient loading from agricultural sources. ii Table of Contents 1.

Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past. From the rudimentary "caballitos de totora" to computerized shaping machines, there's an incredible trunk full of memories, culture, achievements and inventions to be rifled through.

  • Hawaii's Implementation Plan for Polluted Runoff Control Page 1-1
    CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW AND ISLAND ISSUES It has become increasingly clear that surface and groundwater in Hawaii, as well as the rest of the nation, has serious quality problems. It has been nearly thirty years since the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly called the Clean Water Act) was first authorized to start addressing the water quality problems of the Nation. The early focus of the Clean Water Act was to control or reduce “point source” discharges. Point sources are typically end-of-pipe discharges from factories or sewage treatment plants. Hawaii has had its share of point source problems such as sewage treatment plants discharging close to nearshore waters and areas with poor circulation. With increased management and monitoring of point source discharges, water quality did improve locally as well as nationally. Although there has been noted improvement and some waterbodies may be considered excellent in quality, overall water quality can be described in a range of slightly impaired to severely impaired. The reason these waters remain impaired is due to nonpoint source pollution, also known as polluted runoff. Nationally, nonpoint source pollution (NPS) has been recognized as the greatest remaining water quality issue. Hawaii also recognizes that NPS is the greatest threat to water quality in our islands. This recognition comes not only from water quality officials and local scientists but also from the public. The Hawaii Environmental Risk Ranking Project (1994) identified nonpoint source pollution and its impact on stream and coastal water quality as the issue of most concern to communities. Presently there are eighteen waterbodies identified statewide that consistently do not meet state water quality standards due to nonpoint source pollution.

  • Haleʻiwa Small Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging and Beach Restoration Haleʻiwa, Island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi
    Haleʻiwa Small Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging and Beach Restoration Haleʻiwa, Island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi SECTION 1122 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT (WRDA) OF 2016 BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL (BUDM) DRAFT INTEGRATED FEASIBILITY REPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT November 2020 Prepared by: United States Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District This page left blank intentionally. Executive Summary This report presents the evaluation of beneficial uses for dredged material resulting from the routine maintenance dredging of the federal channel at Haleʻiwa Small Boat Harbor. Beneficial use of dredged material can provide benefits to the navigation, coastal storm risk management, recreation, and environmental missions. Despite general perceptions of the pristine sand beaches of Hawaiʻi, sand is relatively scarce. The study area contains one of the most visited beaches outside of Waikiki, Haleʻiwa Beach Park, and therefore is a high-value opportunity for receipt of beach grade sand dredged in accordance with authority granted under Section 1122 of Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016, as amended. This study evaluated alternatives for beneficial use based on economic, engineering, environmental and other factors. The Recommended Plan maximized both economic and ecosystem restoration benefits making it the National Economic Development (NED) Plan and the National Ecosystem Restoration (NER) Plan. Beneficial use of dredged material for the purposes of beach restoration is strongly supported by local stakeholders including the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands (OCCL) and Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR), as well as the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation.

This digital magazine - The West Wind - came about as a result of COVID and the lockdown. As the world retreated into their houses and stayed indoors for weeks and months, so online traffic spiked and online media consumption increased dramatically. Everyone, it seems was on their screens, and always looking for something new. On top of this, up to 70% of the online traffic could be tracked to phones – people were reading everything, watching videos, hanging out on social media, all on their phones. It was time to get with the times. Instead of being told, ‘Ok Boomer’ to our faces, it was time to address needs and deliver what readers and advertisers actually wanted. The ‘Ok, Boomer’ phrase has become a catchall phrase for someone older who is close-minded and resistant to change. We hear it all the time. It’s more of a joke than anything else, almost like the digital equivalent of an eye roll. It happens when a Baby Boomer/old person says something outdated and incorrect, and a Millennial or Gen Z can’t be bothered to explain why it’s so wrong.

  • 7. Affected Environment
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT/DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN 7. Affected Environment This section describes the affected environment across Hawai‘i in general, followed by a detailed description of the affected environment at specific locations proposed for incorporation into the sanctuary. The region of interest (ROI) or area of potential affect includes all lands and waters within and adjacent to the sanctuary in the populated Hawaiian Islands. There are currently sanctuary areas that border Hawai‘i, Kaho‘olawe, Maui, Lāna‘i, Moloka‘i, O‘ahu, and Kaua‘i. The sanctuary is proposing boundary changes on the north shores of O‘ahu and Kaua‘i, as well as the inclusion of new sanctuary boundary around Ni‘ihau. 7.1. Biophysical Environment 7.1.1. Habitats The current and proposed sanctuary boundaries include a wide range of sub-tropical marine habitat types including coastal and shoreline areas, estuaries, seagrass, sandy, hard and rubble habitat, coral reefs, and deep ocean. These habitats support diverse marine species, which are presented in more detail in the next section. This section provides an overview of the primary habitat types within the current and proposed sanctuary boundaries. The primary threats to habitats are discussed in Section 6.1.4., such as coral bleaching, coral disease, vessel grounding, and pollution. For the populated Hawaiian Islands, NOAA mapped 32 distinct habitat types (i.e., 4 major and 14 detailed geomorphological structure classes; 7 major and 3 detailed biological cover types) within 13 nearshore zones using satellite imagery (Battista et al. 2007).

  • Appendix A: Review of Wastewater Facility Regulations, Standards and Guidelines
    Appendix A: Review of Wastewater Facility Regulations, Standards and Guidelines Appendix A Review of Wastewater Facility Regulations, Standards and Guidelines 1.1 General Wastewater Facility and Design The operation of new or existing wastewater treatment facilities are strictly governed by public and environmental health regulations in order to protect the water quality and water uses of the state of Hawai’i. The 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA) was established to aim at reducing the pollutant discharges to waterways, finance municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and manage polluted runoff. Under the CWA various public health regulations were developed to govern current water quality standards and treated wastewater effluent limitations. The State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) promulgated the following public health regulations under the Title 11 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules: Chapter 23 – Underground Injection Control, Chapter 54 – Water Quality Standards, Chapter 55 – Water Pollution Control, and Chapter 62 – Wastewater Systems. These regulations provide for control and monitoring of wastewater facilities, treatment and disposal, water quality and pollution, and the impact it has on the public health and the environment. Based on Section 208 – Areawide Waste Treatment Management of the CWA, the City and City and County of Honolulu, with the assistance from the DOH, developed the CWA Section 208 Water Quality Management Plans. The plans were initially approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1979 and 1980, and updated in 1993 to include descriptions of the Federal, State, and County roles in managing water pollution. Also based on the CWA, The Federal Water Pollution Control Act provides for water pollution control activities in the public health service of the Federal Security Agency and in the Federal Works Agency.

New Technologies in Conservation Research and Management Abstract Directors from the Waikiki Aquarium (Dr. Andrew Rossiter), Maui Ocean Center (Tapani Vouri) and the Bishop Museum (Melanie Ide) will discuss their programs public conservation programs and what the future holds for these institutions both during and after COVID-19. Panelists will discuss: How these institutions survived during COVID-19, what they will be doing in the future to ensure their survival and how they promote and support conservation efforts in Hawai'i. HCC is an excellent opportunity to showcase how Hawaii's largest aquaria and museums play a huge role in building awareness of the public in our biocultural diversity both locally and globally, and how the vicarious experience of biodiversity that is otherwise rarely or never seen by the normal person can be appreciated, documented, and researched, so we know the biology, ecology and conservation needs of our native biocultural diversity. Questions about how did COVID-19 affect these amazing institutions and how has COVID-19 forced an internal examination and different ways of working in terms of all of the in-house work that often falls to the side against fieldwork, and how it strengthened the data systems as well as our virtual expression of biodiversity work when physical viewing became hampered.
