    Applying Makawalu to Midway Atoll’s Visitor Program Kuaihelani, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument by Gina M. McGuire B.A. (Stanford University) 2017 A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science in the Graduate Division of the University of Hawaiʻi, Hilo Committee in charge: Dr. Jason P. Turner Dr. Kathryn Besio Mr. Barry W. Stieglitz Spring 2019 1 ABSTRACT Applying Makawalu to Midway Atoll’s Visitor Program: Kuaihelani, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument by Gina M. McGuire Master of Science in Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science University of Hawaiʻi, Hilo Professor Jason P. Turner, Chair This study informs decisionmakers on the stakeholder's views about the feasibility of re- opening visitation to the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial. Midway Atoll is operated under the National Wildlife Refuge System and is the only area within the surrounding Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument designated to allow for public visitation. Narrative research methodologies including interviewing and participant observation were conducted under the Hawaiian framework of makawalu, literally translating to “eight eyes.” Narrative research provides the context and added complexity to inform decisions about visitation regarding social, ecological, heritage, and economic interests in the Atoll. Stakeholder responses show that the question as to whether visitation “should” be re- opened on Midway is unclear across responses, and that in many cases where there is strong conviction to have visitation, it is only for certain groups and interviewees have serious reservations about visitation program design. Spatial landscape analysis identifies gaps in data availability to determine potential environmental impact on Midway Atoll and the importance of including Indigenous ways of knowing in management.

Analytical judgment determined the threat posed by each drug type or category, taking into account the most current quantitative and qualitative information on availability, demand, production or cultivation, transportation, and distribution, as well as the effects of a particular drug on abusers and society as a whole. While NDIC sought to incorporate the latest available information, a time lag often exists between collection and publication of data, particularly demand-related data sets. NDIC anticipates that this drug threat assessment will be useful to policymakers, law enforcement personnel, and treatment providers at the federal, state, and local levels because it draws upon a broad range of information sources to describe and analyze the drug threat to the Northern Mariana Islands.

By Karina Quintans, M.SAME, and Jamie Oakley, PG, LHG, M.SAME or the U.S. Air Force, best value delivery of construction and environmental projects on Wake Island calls for contractors with an eye for the long- Fterm backed by expert skills in remote logistics planning. Everything required to execute work on the remote coral atoll must be imported. A four-week barge trip originating from the continental United States is the most cost-effective means of mobilizing the heavy equipment, parts, and supplies needed to complete a job. The Air Force’s Pacific Regional Support Center (PRSC), which provides Arctic and Pacific surveillance weapon system and installation support services, manages operations on Wake Island from Joint Base Elmendorf- Richardson, Alaska. Though just 2.81-mi2 in size, Wake Island is home to the longest strategic runway in the Pacific Islands, at 9,800-ft. Throughout the last century, the base has supported many different missions in response to evolving U.S. requirements, but its primary purpose as a transpacific military and commercial aircraft fueling and maintenance depot has remained steadfast. With renewed national security concerns across the Indo-Pacific Region and increased attention on the area, the PRSC has begun strengthening Wake Island’s infrastructure and facilities through a $155 million A barge arrives at Wake Island portfolio of sustainment, restoration, and modernization carrying heavy equipment and supplies that will support projects along with a $43 million environmental construction and environmental program.
