ABSTRACT Hawaii’s pelagic longline fisheries were reassessed in 2008 using the provisions of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (Code) as a scoring system. The 2006 Responsible Fisheries Assessment (RFA) is the most comprehensive application of the Code for the assessment of a pelagic longline fishery according to the FAO. The Hawaii longline fisheries are the first in the United States to have been fully assessed and scored comprehensively against Articles of the Code relevant to wild capture fisheries. The 2008 RFA demonstrates the practical application of the Code for monitoring progress in a fishery towards compliance. The RFA process applies FAO’s internationally-accepted set of criteria which define a responsible fishery managed for sustainability. The RFA was revised in 2008 because of significant changes in the domestic and international fishery management framework resulting primarily from the December 2006 reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and recent developments of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission. The 2008 RFA of the Hawaii longline fisheries resulted in a cumulative score of 94% compliance (265.5 of 283 points) with the prescriptive and applicable Articles of the Code. These include Article 7 Fishery Management (96% or 109.5 of 114 points), Article 8 Fishing Operations (93% or 70 of 75 points), Article 10 Integration with Coastal Area Management (83% or 17.5 of 21 points), Article 11 Post–harvest Practices and Trade (95% or 38 of 40 points) and Article 12 Fisheries Research (92% or 30.5 of 33 points). 1 Bartram, P., K. Nakamura, J.J. Kaneko and G. Krasnick, PacMar, Inc., Honolulu, Hawaii Hawaii Seafood Project-2 (NOAA Award No. NA06NMF4520222). December 19, 2008 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hawaii longline fisheries were assessed using the provisions of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (FAO 1995) as a scoring system. The Responsible Fisheries Assessment (RFA) process is a way to assess a fishery against the Code, a comprehensive and internationally-accepted set of criteria that define a responsible fishery managed for sustainability. The 2008 RFA has been completed as part of the Hawaii Seafood Project (NOAA Award No. NA06NMF4520222, PacMar, Inc., Honolulu, Hawaii). The first RFA of the Hawaii longline fisheries (Bartram et al., 2006) was completed in December 2006 under the Hawaii Seafood Project (NOAA Award No. NA05NMF4521112, PacMar Inc.). The 2006 RFA was the first and most comprehensive application of the Code for the assessment of a pelagic longline fishery. The methodology was reviewed and published as a model for the application of the Code by the FAO (Caddy et al., 2007). The RFA was revised in 2008 because of significant changes in the domestic and international fishery management framework resulting primarily from the re-authorized Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and recent developments of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission. The FAO developed a scoring system and a 193 question checklist to facilitate and standardize the application of the Code (Caddy 1996). This was expanded (Bartram et al., 2006) to 283 questions to include Code provisions that were not covered by the original FAO checklist. Scoring was done by PacMar Inc. (Paul Bartram, Katrina Nakamura, John Kaneko and George Krasnick) applying the FAO methodology (Caddy 1996). Scorecards contain the original language and questions formatted to address each Code provision. Answers provide the rationale for scoring. For transparency, answers are referenced whenever possible with links to electronic documents and websites that provide background and detail. Readers are advised to review the scorecards electronically so that they can link to relevant websites and documents. 2008 summary scores for Hawaii longline fisheries follow: • Article 7 (Fishery Management) 96% (109.5 of 114 points) • Article 8 (Fishing Operations) 93% (70 of 75 points) • Article 10 (Integration with Coastal Zone Mgt) 83% (17.5 of 21 points) • Article 11 (Post-harvest Practices and Trade) 95% (38 of 40 points) • Article 12 (Fisheries Research) 92% (30.5 of 33 points) Cumulative RFA Score 94% (265.5 of 283 points) The credibility of the RFA process flows directly from the agencies involved in the management of the fishery. The RFA process documents the working relationships among the components of the management system. The agencies directly involved in the integrated management system (NOAA Pacific Islands Regional Office and Fisheries Science Center, Western Pacific Fishery Management Council, US Coast Guard and the Pelagic Fisheries Research Program) reviewed the 2008 RFA to ensure accuracy, transparency and credibility of the assessment. Maintaining an RFA is important for Hawaii to document responsible pelagic longline fisheries that supply sustainable seafood. 2 Bartram, P., K. Nakamura, J.J. Kaneko and G. Krasnick, PacMar, Inc., Honolulu, Hawaii Hawaii Seafood Project-2 (NOAA Award No. NA06NMF4520222). December 19, 2008 3. INTRODUCTION TO THE RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES ASSESSMENT AND THE FAO CODE OF CONDUCT FOR RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES 3.1 Why is it important to assess the responsible nature of Fisheries? Sustainable seafood is produced by responsible fisheries. Differentiating sustainable seafood in the market place requires demonstration that a fishery is responsible and managed for sustainable use. A science-based fishery management system that applies an ecosystem approach and the precautionary principle is a pre-requisite for a well-managed, responsible fishery. A comprehensive and objective set of criteria for responsible fisheries is needed for comparison of seafood sources. Without a meaningful way to distinguish sustainable seafood in the market and without rewards for responsible fishing and punishments for irresponsible fishing embedded in fishery management systems, there will be no incentive for fisheries to become more responsible. Responsible fisheries need to be rewarded in negotiations for access to fishery resources. Regional fishery management organizations (RFMO) must recognize the profound positive force for sustainability that tangible benefits for responsible fisheries can produce in multi- national fisheries such as Pacific tuna. RFMOs must also adhere to the precautionary principle and science-based management and consider the negative impact of uniformly assigning quotas to fishery segments that provide significant quantities of high-quality and timely fishery data with which fish stock assessments and management actions are based. Consumers can share in the obligation to support responsible fisheries by seeking out sustainable seafood. Consumer preference

  • U.S. Coast Guard at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941
    U.S. COAST GUARD UNITS IN HAWAII December 7, 1941 Coast Guard vessels in service in Hawaii were the 327-foot cutter Taney, the 190-foot buoy tender Kukui, two 125- foot patrol craft: Reliance and Tiger, two 78-foot patrol boats and several smaller craft. At the time of the attack, Taney was tied up at Pier Six in Honolulu Harbor, Reliance and the unarmed Kukui both lay at Pier Four and Tiger was on patrol along the western shore of Oahu. All were performing the normal duties for a peacetime Sunday. USCGC Taney (WPG-37); Commanding Officer: Commander Louis B. Olson, USCG. Taney was homeported in Honolulu; 327-foot Secretary Class cutter; Commissioned in 1936; Armament: two 5-inch/51; four 3-inch/ 50s and .50 caliber machine guns. The 327-foot cutter Taney began working out of Honolulu in as soon as she was commissioned. On the morning of 7 December 1941, she was tied up at pier six in Honolulu Harbor six miles away from the naval anchorage. After the first Japanese craft appeared over the island, Taney's crew went to general quarters and made preparations to get underway. While observing the attack over Pearl Harbor, Taney received no orders to move and did not participate in the initial attack by the Japanese. Just after 09:00, when the second wave of planes began their attack on the naval anchorage, Taney fired on high altitude enemy aircraft with her 3-inch guns and .50 caliber machine guns. The extreme range of the planes limited the effect of the fire and the guns were secured after twenty minutes.

  • Some Transportation and Communication Firsts in Hawaii
    Some Transportation and Communication Firsts in Hawaii Robert C. Schmitt Few aspects of Hawaiian life and technology have changed as dramatically as transportation and communication. The past two centuries have produced many new and revolutionary developments—the steamship, railroad, street car, automobile, freeway, parking meter, balloon, airplane, postage stamp, newspaper, telephone, and radio, to name some of the most important or ubiquitous. Despite the significance of these innovations, in many cases little is known of their first appearance in the Islands. Standard historical works are often silent on the subject. For a surprisingly large number, conflicting claims (some clearly impossible) run through the literature. Sources are seldom mentioned. Wherever possible, these "firsts" are traced in the following pages. TRANSPORTATION Ocean travel. On January 20, 1778, at Waimea, Kauai, Hawaiians saw their first recorded foreign ships, the Resolution and Discovery, commanded by Cook and Clerke.1 The first vessel of foreign design to be built in the Islands was the 36-foot Britannia, designed and constructed by Vancouver's carpenters in February 1794 for Kamehameha's navy.2 The first whaleships to visit Hawaii were the Balena (or Balaena) out of New Bedford, commanded by Captain Edmund Gardner, and the 262-ton ship Equator from Newburyport, with Captain Elisha Folger as skipper. The two vessels arrived via California, anchoring in Kealakekua Bay on September 29, 1819.3 The first whaleship to enter Honolulu Harbor was the Maro, of Nantucket registry under Joseph Allen, master, in 1820.4 "The first wharf constructed at this port was at a point a little to the northward of the foot of Nuuanu Street," according to Thrum.

  • Regatta Day in Honolulu Harbor
    Regatta Day in Honolulu Harbor King Kalakaua’s rowing By Barbara Del Piano crew in 1885. When you think of Regatta Day, most likely visions of outrigger canoe racing in Waikiki come to mind. But no…what we’re talking about is not canoes in Waikiki but barges in Honolulu Harbor. In ancient Hawaii, outrigger canoes were used mainly for traveling, transportation, war and fishing, but not usually for pleasure or competition. In the 1860s foreign ships in Honolulu Harbor introduced the sport of barge racing and it quickly caught on. King Kalakaua’s 40th birthday was celebrated on Novem- ber 16, 1875, with the Harbor’s first major regatta. Thousands of people came to the wharves to watch the races. The King, with friends and family, celebrated at the King’s boat house located in the harbor. The first competitors were sailors from the foreign ships, but in 1883 a club for local paddlers was formed…the Myrtle Boat Club where future Outrigger members Yabo Taylor and Lining up for a race isn’t Dad Center were stalwart crewmen. It was followed in 1890 much different today. by the Healani Boat Club; David Kawananakoa founded the Leilani Boat Club the same year. There was even an organiza- tion called Honolulu Rowing Association, which, like HCRA (Hawaii Canoe Racing Association), helped to organize the Hui Nalu, coached by Duke Kahanamoku, and Queen’s Surf regattas. Club, coached by Charlie Amalu. Barges were long and narrow, made with slats of wood. The Governor proclaimed the day a holiday and a large The hulls were straight, not curved like a canoe, and there was contingent from Honolulu sailed over to watch the regatta.

Siah & Associates, Inc. State of Hawaii - Department of Transportation, Harbors Division March 2009 PREFACE Marc M. Siah & Associates, Inc. Consulting Civil • Structural • Environmental & Ocean Engineers 820 South Beretania Street, Suite 201, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 SECTION ONE PREFACE With Hawaii’s oil dependency for all its energy needs at about 90 percent, Hawaii has by far the highest oil dependencies among all states. Hawaii’s economy depends on a secure and un- interrupted supply of oil. Therefore, Hawaii is vulnerable to changes in cost and availability of crude oil and petroleum products. Over the past two years, while this study was developed, the global oil markets have experienced far-reaching changes and have shown significant price volatility. Many oil analysts now agree that the era of “cheap-and-easy-oil” is over and that the world economy will have to face much higher oil prices because of possible supply constraints in the coming years. As recent as in 2003, oil experts in Hawaii predicted stable oil market through the year 2015, with projected oil prices around $25 per barrel. Now, only five years later, many oil analysts concede the fact that the global oil supply has entered a new era, where short-term price-hikes between $150 and $200 per barrel are realistic scenarios, as proven by the oil price spike in summer 2008. The International Energy Agency (IEA), the Paris-based “energy watchdog” of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has recently warned in its World Energy Outlook 2008 that the world is facing a severe future “supply crunch” if future oil production projects that will provide an increase in net-supply gain are not implemented on schedule.
