Abstract:
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) facilitated a conservation action planning (CAP) process for the South Kohala coastline (Figure 1) on behalf of the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) to help establish priorities for Hawai'i's Coral Reef Strategy (HCRS)...This planning process was designed to give key stakeholders and community members the opportunity to develop and provide input on strategies to address coral reef threats, and, in doing so, to empower communities to care for local resources and to build their capacity to continue doing so. This document is not merely a plan or a process summary, but a template for how and why to plan collaboratively. Aspects of this plan, designed to meet the HCRS objectives, are already being implemented as this final report is drafted. This plan is not designed to be static or final: when it is revisited, adapted, and refined in the future, the success or failure of implemented actions can inform better conservation at scale in Hawai'i, and should enable other regions to utilize information and encourage further collaboration and partnership.
