The IBA Program was initiated by BirdLife International in Europe in the 1980's. Since then, over 8,000 sites in 178 countries have been identified as Important Bird Areas, with many national and regional IBA inventories published in 19 languages. Hundreds of these sites and millions of acres have received better protection as a result of the IBA Program. As the United States Partner of BirdLife International, the National Audubon Society administers the IBA Program in the U.S., which was launched in 1995 (see http://www.audubon.org/bird/iba/index.html). Forty-eight states have initiated IBA programs, and more than 2,100 state-level IBAs encompassing over 220 million acres have been identified across the country. Information about these sites will be reviewed by the U.S. IBA Committee to confirm whether they qualify for classification as sites of continental or global significance.

    2706 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 138 Numerical Simulations of Island-Scale Airflow over Maui and the Maui Vortex under Summer Trade Wind Conditions DANA L. CARLIS* Howard University Program in Atmospheric Sciences, Washington, D.C., and Honolulu Weather Forecast Office, National Weather Service, Honolulu, Hawaii YI-LENG CHEN Department of Meteorology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii VERNON R. MORRIS Howard University Program in Atmospheric Sciences, Howard University, Washington, D.C. (Manuscript received 22 September 2009, in final form 14 January 2010) ABSTRACT The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) coupled with the Noah land surface model (LSM) is employed to simulate island-scale airflow and circulations over Maui County, Hawaii, under summer trade wind conditions, during July–August 2005. The model forecasts are validated by surface observations with good agreement. In this study, it is shown that a previously known closed circulation over the Central Valley of Maui, or the Maui vortex, represents the northern cyclonic vortex of the dual-counter-rotating vortices in the lee of Haleakala, which extend up to the base of the trade wind inversion with a westerly reversed flow (.2ms21). At low levels, the northern cyclonic vortex is more pronounced than the southern anticyclonic vortex. The asymmetric structure of the dual vortices is related to the shape of Haleakala and the flow deflection by the West Maui Mountains. The Maui vortex has a relatively narrow east–west extent in the lowest levels, espe- cially at night, due to the deflected strong northerly/northeasterly winds from the windward foothills of the West Maui Mountains.

    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 4, No. 2, 2009, pp. 183-202 At the Intersection of Resident, Research and Recreation Stakeholder Interests: East Maui, Hawai‘i, as a Sustainable Tourism Destination John Cusick University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Oahu, Hawai‘i, USA [email protected] Abstract: The experiences of contemporary protected areas indicate adaptations to challenges brought about by resource management strategies. Resident communities, protected area management, and the tourism industry stakeholders demonstrate that evolving relationships are complex webs of competing and cooperating interests. The geographic isolation of East Maui delayed the cultural disruption of traditional practices and is an area where residents simultaneously resist assimilation and re-create cultural landscapes to offer visitors a glimpse into the past and a view of an emerging future associated with the renaissance of Native Hawaiian identity. Partnerships have brought about and nurtured the perpetuation of culture and the conservation of biodiversity as stakeholders recognize shared benefits. Among the outcomes are that residents have reconstituted the identity of East Maui as a Hawaiian place with benefits to various stakeholders, including a network of protected areas. A sustainability framework suggests a reappraisal of how to nurture, not alter, East Maui’s identity.

Introduction The combination of biological diversity and cultural heritage is routinely cited as being conducive to the development of ecotourism activities (Honey, 1999; Stronza & Durham, 2008). An increase and expansion of tourism development associated with protected areas facilitate the convergence of stakeholder interests and raise issues related to resident place, research field site, and tourist destination (Howe et al ., 1997; Terborgh et al ., 2002).

  • SECTION 4. RISK ASSESSMENT 4.15Wildfire
    State of Hawaiʻi 2018 | Hazard Mitigation Plan SECTION 4. RISK ASSESSMENT 4.15Wildfire 2018 HMP UPDATE CHANGES The hazard profile has been significantly enhanced to include a detailed hazard description, location, extent, previous occurrences, and probability of future occurrence (including how climate change may impact the hazard). New and updated figures from federal and state agencies are incorporated. Wildfire events that occurred in the State of Hawai‘i from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2017 were researched for this 2018 HMP Update. The high wildfire risk areas provided by the Hawai‘i Wildfire Management Organization were used to assess vulnerability (HWMO 2013). 4.15.1 Hazard Profile Wildfires in the State of Hawai‘i destroy native forests, alter soil composition, and threaten human safety and infrastructure. The State of Hawaii’s native ecosystems are not fire adapted. In many cases, once an area burns, it is replaced by fire-prone non-native species, permanently changing the State of Hawaii’s landscape. Over 25% of the State contains non-native, fire-prone grasses and shrubs which fuels the fires that occur in the State. This percentage grows each time fire burns into native forest because the forest is then further invaded by fire prone non-native species (Hawai‘i Wildfire Management Organization [HWMO] 2016a). Each year, approximately 0.5% of the State of Hawaii’s total land area burns, which is equal to or greater than the proportion burned of any other state. Over 98% of the total wildfires are human-caused. In the last 10 years, nearly 1,000 wildfires burned an average of 20,000 acres per year statewide.

  • Nihoa Finch Telespiza Ultima
    Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Passerines Nihoa finch Telespiza ultima SPECIES STATUS: Federally Listed as Endangered State Listed as Endangered State Recognized as Endemic NatureServe Heritage Rank G1—Critically Imperiled IUCN Red List Ranking—Critically Endangered Photo: Craig Rowland, USFWS Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Passerines Recovery Plan— USFWS 1984 SPECIES INFORMATION: The Nihoa finch is an omnivorous, ground-nesting Hawaiian honeycreeper (Family: Fringillidae) endemic to Nihoa Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Nihoa finches have black legs, large feet, and sturdy bills suitable for seed- eating, but in all body dimensions they are smaller than the congeneric Laysan finches. Males and females have different plumage; males are a brighter yellow over a larger proportion of their head and body than females. Nihoa finches are known to feed on seeds, fruits, leaves, flowers, stems, seedlings, roots, carrion, invertebrates, and eggs. Although their social behavior has not been thoroughly studied, Nihoa finches are thought to be similar to Laysan finches in being non-territorial outside of the breeding season. During breeding season, males defend nest sites in rock crevices, while females construct nests and incubate eggs. Females rely upon males for nuptial feedings during the incubation period. DISTRIBUTION: Restricted to the approximately 63 hectare (156 acre) area of Nihoa Island. An introduced population at Tern Island, French Frigate Shoals, was extinct by the early 1980s. ABUNDANCE: The most recent population estimate is 2,800 birds based on surveys conducted in 2007. LOCATION AND CONDITION OF KEY HABITAT: Resides year-round on the steep-sided, rocky, and shrub-covered island of Nihoa. Finches prefer open but vegetated habitat and forage in all areas of the island.
