  • A Final Report on the Initial Development of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (Pacioos) Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System
    A Final Report on the Initial Development of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System NOAA Cooperative Agreement #NA07NOS4730207 Submitted by Dr. Brian Taylor Dean and Principal Investigator School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology University of Hawaii at Manoa Chris E. Ostrander Director Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) March 2012 BACKGROUND The distinctive beauty of the Pacific Islands reflects the unique setting of our land, ocean, tropical climate, and biological diversity. The Pacific Islands region covers a vast area of the globe—spanning six time zones across the Pacific Ocean; the region is bisected by the International Date Line, straddles all four hemispheres, is distributed over a surface area of nearly 35 million km2 and includes 2,500 km of coastlines and over 2,300 individual islands (Figure 1). The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Pacific Island jurisdictions covers an area larger than the other ten regions of U.S. IOOS combined and Hawaii alone constitutes nearly 1/5th of the total U.S. EEZ. The Pacific Islands are uniquely an ocean region; over 99% of the surface area is ocean. The vast majority of the land lies within 10 km of the shoreline and all the land in the region is within the coastal zone. Figure 1: Constituent members and spatial distributions of the sub-regions comprising the PacIOOS regional association. Each of the island constituents of the PacIOOS region is distinct in terms of their respective governments, languages, legal systems, geography, cultural norms, societal structure, economies, and infrastructural development needs.

  • Beach Erosion at Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaiil
    Pacific Science (1982), vol. 36, no. 1 © 1982 by the University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Beach Erosion at Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaii l J. F. CAMPBELL 2 and D. J. HWANG 2 ABSTRACT: Waimea Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, is a popular recreation area, which is presently endangered by severe erosion. The extent of shoreline erosion has been determined from comparison of an 1884 survey map with aerial photographs from the period 1928-1975, and from measure­ ments of the changes in the vegetation line during that time. The Waimea section of Oahu's shoreline has receded about 200 ft in this 47-yr period. This erosion is caused primarily by storms that move the beach sand into deeper waters from which it cannot return to the beach and the lack of supply of new sand to the beach. Sand mining and abrasion also have contributed to the retreat of the shoreline. Continued periodic measurements and aerial surveys would be valuable in tracking the regression of the shoreline and useful for planning the future of public facilities located in Waimea Bay. PROBLEMS RELATED TO EROSION of a coastline luvium because ofchanges in sea level relative are often first noticed when people see that to the island, was once graded to a depth of man-made structures are in danger of being 215 ft below present sea level (Coulbourn, washed into the sea.

CINCINNATI•:• CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK C.OMPANY Digitized by Google ' .. HARVARD COLLEGELIBRAllY BEQUESTOF RCLANOBUr.ll,' , ,E DIXOII f,'.AY 19, 1936 0oPYBIGRT, 1891, BY AlilBIOAN BooK Co)[PA.NY. W. P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.
