  • Kauai General Plan-Chapter 3, Caring for Land, Water and Culture
    3. Caring for Land, Water and Culture 3.1 OVERVIEW This chapter sets policies relating to land, waters and culture – resources which are the heritage of the people of Kauaÿi. Heritage resources are connected to physical features or structures, but they also entail less tangible qualities like cultural meaning, historic significance, and the visual experience of the environment. The chapter also sets policies for managing human activities to maintain the quality of the environment – particularly the quality of Kauaÿi’s waters and watersheds. As stated in the Vision, the concepts of ahupuaÿa and watershed link the mountains, lowlands and ocean as one basic ecological unit. The rainwater running off the land affects the quality of the streams and coastal waters; this in turn affects their ability to support native biota and their usefulness for fishing, swimming, or other activities. Finally, the Chapter addresses the special rights of Native Hawaiians in water and land. 3.1.1 Heritage Resources Maps The General Plan contains a set of Heritage Resources Maps – an island map and five district maps at a larger scale. These maps are intended to document important natural, scenic and historic features, particularly in relation to the urban and agricultural lands which are developed or may be developed in the future. The maps document the following heritage resources: n Important landforms, including mountains, stream valleys and gulches, bluffs and other small coastal features (Based on elevation contours and other data, U.S. Geological Survey). n Perennial streams and ponds (Source: U.S. Geological Survey). n Coral reefs (Source: U.S.

  • The 2002 Hawai I Conservation Conference Environmental Change
    The 2002 Hawaiÿi Conservation Conference Environmental Change and Human Activity July 18-19, 2002 Honolulu, Hawaiÿi Sponsored by the Secretariat for Conservation Biology Welcome to the annual Hawaiÿi Conservation Conference: the largest gathering of people actively involved in the protection and management of Hawaiÿi’s native species and ecosystems. The purpose of the conference is to facilitate interaction among resource managers and the scientific community. It is an opportunity to discuss and obtain up-to-date information on a variety of conservation activities in Hawaiÿi. It is also a time to see old friends, meet new colleagues and form new partnerships. We all have something to gain when we gather together to share experiences and ideas. Terrorists transformed our world in 2001, leaving us with immediate feelings of powerlessness, desperation, and isolation. However, the healing process has brought us closer together and given us a new sense of patriotism, of belonging, and a greater dedication to those things precious to us. And so, we move through 2002 with a new awareness, or possibly a renewed awareness, of the uniqueness and value of our islands and the living things they support. It is with this new awareness, new vigor, new commitment, that we formulated the 2002 conference. Key to the organization of this conference was an event called the Forum, which was sponsored by The Secretariat for Conservation Biology in February of this year. The Forum was attended by scientists and resource managers from throughout the state, and they gathered for the purpose of reassessing Hawaiÿi’s conservation priorities. Out of this gathering came a list of issues, tasks, and activities that this group hoped to have facilitated by the Secretariat.
