Abstract Book for Kūlia I Ka Huliau — Striving for Change by Abstract ID 3 Abstract Book for Kūlia i ka huliau — Striving for change by Abstract ID 3 Discussion from Hawai'i's Largest Public facilities - Surviving during this time of COVID-19. Allen Tom1, Andrew Rossiter2, Tapani Vouri3, Melanie Ide4 1NOAA, Kihei, Hawaii. 2Waikiki Aquarium, Honolulu, Hawaii. 3Maui Ocean Center, Maaleaa, Hawaii. 4Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii Track V. 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. Has this opened doors to global virtual visitation and appreciation of the resource otherwise tucked in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Audience will be engaged virtually via poll questions and audience questions via the chat box. All questions will be saved and forwarded to the speakers. Agenda & Additional Required Information for Forums, Workshops, and Trainings Hosted by Allen Tom (superintendent of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary) we have memoranda of agreements with all three of these entities. Agenda - Introductions and why we are here - Allen Tapani - Maui Ocean center, programs they are doing now due to COVID, and what conservation efforts they are working on (reef restoration, water quality montioring) Andy Rossiter (Waikiki Aquarium) - will discuss the same 2 Melanie Ide - same, with expanded discussion on their in-house efforts to conservation of Native Hawaiian biota, research and artifacts. Q and A once all speakers are done via chat box. Questions not answered due to time constraints will be saved and forwarded to the speakers. 4 Historical and Modern Ecology of Kukui (Aleurites moluccanus): Implications for the Hawaiian Footprint and Ancient Management Zones Noa Lincoln1, Qian Zhang2, Qi Chen2 1University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Hilo, HI. 2University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Honolulu, HI Track I. Cultural Values and Practice in Conservation Abstract Kukui (candlenut; Aleurites moluccanus) is a Polynesian introduced tree crop and the designated state tree of Hawai'i. Kukui was an important element to indigenous Hawaiian agroforestry and retained some of its importance throughout Hawai‘i’s history. We examined the historical ecology and trends of kukui, including a review of the ethnobotany. Remote imagery was analyzed to map the current distribution and cover of kukui canopy on the five largest Hawaiian Islands, and historical aerial images were used to assess the change in kukui cover over time. Kukui was a major component of ancient land management, existing in virtually all agro-ecological strategies utilized by Native Hawaiians and the dominant species in serval extensive systems. Kukui is still widespread through the state, being a significant component in many novel low-land mesic and wet forests. However, kukui is declining and across the five islands surveyed has lost an average of ~58% of total canopy cover over the last 70 years. Spatial trends suggest that kukui likely did not spread much following the large-scale shifts in Hawaiian socio-ecosystems that accompanied the arrival of colonial powers and we suggest that the footprint of kukui in Hawai’i closely approximates the extent of indigenous agroforestry and forest alteration. This study informs conservation in Hawai‘i by (1) documenting the trajectory of a major component of Hawai‘i's lowland novel forests and (2) better understanding the extent and form of traditional Hawaiian land- management at the landscape scale. 6 Waihona Online Repository: Sharing Resources to Build the Next Generation of Aloha ʻĀina Leaders Kanoe Wilson 3 Kamehameha Schools, Keaʻau, HI Track V. New Technologies in Conservation Research and Management Abstract Kanaeokana, the Kula Hawaii Network is a membership based organization that includes Hawaiian Focused Charter Schools, Hawaiian Language Immersion Program schools, and over 60 other Hawaiian education organizations including ʻĀina-based organizations. Established in 2016, Kanaeokana is providing new opportunities for Hawaiian culture based educators to raise their voices to advocate for things that are important: Hawaiian language renormalization, teacher recruitment and retention, ʻāina- based/place-based learning, culturally innovative learning solutions, and curriculum resources development and dissemination using a cloud based repository called Waihona. Kanaeokana Network has been working diligently to find innovative ways to support our communities during this time of travel bans, quarantines, school shutdowns and new teaching paradigms. We are pleased to offer up the Waihona online repository to our community of lāhui educators as one of many tools to empower educators and learners. Our team has been working around the clock to bring this online open source learning platform where people across the pae ʻaina can share ideas to support and elevate ʻIke Hawaiʻi and ʻŌlelo Hawai’i in relevant ways to help build the next generation of Aloha ʻĀina leaders. Join us in this interactive session where we share the moʻolelo of Kanaeokana and the development of Waihona, how this supports ʻāina-based education and has the application to connect classroom teachers with ʻāina-based educators and vice versa, we will take you on a virtual huakaʻi of Waihona and share the vast resources that colleagues around the world are sharing.

Capacity in Conservation 6 Abstract The success of past Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) Response outreach activities has relied on in- person events and interactions. What happens when a global pandemic turns the world on its head, significantly limiting in-person communication? The CRB Response, along with countless other organizations, faced this challenge in 2020. Creating an online presence is a daunting task, and with so many options out there, it's hard to imagine where to begin. Careful consideration and planning helped us to bring our outreach capabilities online. Starting from scratch, we developed a plan and timeline. We utilized business marketing principles of branding to guide the development of our website, social media accounts, and print materials.

  • A Preliminary Report of the Biology of the Genus Charpentiera (Amaranthaceae) I
    Pacific Science (1973), Vol. 27, No.4, p. 399-405 Printed in Great Britain A Preliminary Report of the Biology of the Genus Charpentiera (Amaranthaceae) I S. H. SOHMER 2 ABSTRACT: The genus Charpentiera (Amaranthaceae), found in the Hawaiian and Austral archipelagoes, has a structurally gynodioecious but functionally dioecious breeding system. The sex ratio varies from taxon to taxon within the genus. The sex-determining mechanism is unknown. A high rate ofovule sterility is found in all the taxa, which i~ not predicted by the pollen sterility figures reported. Data concern­ ing seed size, pollen size, and seed germination potential are provided. Hybridization is demonstrated to occur between Charpentiera densiflora Sohmer and C. elliptica (Hilleb.) Heller. Reproductive isolation is reported for C. tomentosa var. tomentosa Sohmer and C. obovata Gaud. THE GENUS Charpentiera is indigenous to the often small and thinly scattered throughout the Hawaiian Islands. In 1934 it was also found mature ecosystems of the generic range. Popu­ on two of the Austral Islands approximately lations of several of the taxa, however, are 2,800 miles disjunct from Hawaii (Suessenguth sometimes numerous in certain areas such as 1936). The members of the genus are trees the heads of deep gulches in some of the highly ranging from about 8 to 40 feet high and are dissected volcanic ranges of the islands. During of diverse habit, with pendant, compound the course of the revision, the reproductive panicles of minute, anemophilous flowers. The biology of Charpentiera was investigated. fruit is indehiscent and uniovulate. A recent systematic revision of Charpentiera (Sohmer 1972) has recognized six major taxa in the SEX RATIO AND TENDENCY TO DIOECISM genus.

Box 5498, Kampala, Uganda 2National Coffee Research Institute, National Agricultural Research Organization, P.O. Box 185, Mukono, Uganda Abstract Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) growing systems in Uganda consists of shade systems with different tree species. Tree shade systems are the pure stand trees in the cocoa plantation which have been attributed to wards reducing on pests and disease incidences, shade provision, boosting fertility, Agro biodiversity, fodder and improving production. The study was aimed at identifying potential shade tree species that can minimize disease threats on cocoa farms. Eighty-two cocoa farmers were reached out of 120 cocoa farmers in Bundibugyo that possessed at least five acres of the plantation in a purposive sampling approach. Black pod disease was non-significantly associated with presence of shade tree diversities. It was established that incidence of black pod rot disease was non-significantly associated with presence of all shade tree species; association between witch’s broom disease incidence with presence of Maesopsis eminii was highly significant (χ2= 55.41, (p<0.05); Association between witch’s broom and presence of Persea Americana(χ2=9.79), (p<0.05), Eucalyptus globulus (χ2=16.71), (p<0.05), Markhamia obtusifolia (χ2=3.95),(p<0.001), schefflera actinophylla (χ2=4.32), (p<0.001), Mangifera indica (χ2=6.46), (p<0.001) was significant though these trees were planted in small numbers.

  • Stock Assessment of Nehu, Encrasicholina Purpurea, Using the Egg Production Method
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE 53(21: 768-777. 1993 STOCK ASSESSMENT OF NEHU, ENCRASICHOLINA PURPUREA, USING THE EGG PRODUCTION METHOD D.A. Somerton, D. R. Kobavashi and K. C.Landgraf ABSTRACT Nehu. Encrusicholina purpurea. are short lived. tropical anchovies used as baitfish for the Hawaiian pole-and-line tuna fishery. The spawnlng biomass of nehu within Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, was estimated weekly using the Daily Egg Produalon Method (DEPM). Over the 2-year studv period. spawning biomass vaned between 0.5 and 5.0 mctnc tons in response to the intensive fishery and a seasonal cyclicity In reproductive effort. Nehu, Encrasicholina purpurea. are among the smallest of anchovies. yet they are commercially valuable as the primary bait used by the Hewzii:tn pole-and- line fishery for skipjack tuna, Katsuwonw pehmis (Uchidz.. 197'7). Similar to other stolephorid baitfishes (Dalzell. 1987), nehu ?.re exrrzirdy short lived (<6 months; Struhsaker and Uchiyarna. 1976) and spawn almost continuously throughout the year (Tester. 1952: Clarke. 1987, 1989). Unlike the others, nehu occur exclusively within estuarine embayments, migrating daily between diurnal resting areas along turbid shorelines and nocturnal spawning areas in relatively clear channels. The commercial fishery exploits this unusual behavior. and is thereby unique among baitfish fisheries. by using seines to capture nehu in their shallow daytime habitat (Uchida, 1977; Dalzell and Lewis, 1989). Nehu abundance has fluctuated over time and occasionally has declined to such an extent that vessels have spent nearly as much time fishing for bait as for tuna. The economic hardships resulting from the periodic shortages of nehu precipitated early efforts at stock assessment using either egg and larva data (Tester, 1951, 1952) or commercial catch statistics (Bachman.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract Otolith morphometrics, coupled with image analysis and mathematical equations were examined to investigate stock structure of Anchovy, Encrasicholina punctifer on Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. Samples (360 Otolith) were collected during December and January 2012 from three main fisheries landing including Gheshm, Garze and Jask. The structure of transverse sagittal otolith sections were described for individual anchovy samples by using Image motic software. The measured parameters for each otolith were: length, width, weight, perimeter and area. In addition, the morphological indices of otoliths including roundness, oval and circular indices were measured by mathematical equations. Results from this study showed a similarity in morphological and morphometric parameters of Otoliths of anchovy stocks collected from Gheshm, Garze and Jask. Therefore, theses three populations could be considered as single population.

  • 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.
