Abstract:
The State of Hawaii and partners established the West Maui Priority Watershed Area in year 2010 with the intent of making this a focal location for coral reef research and management initiatives. The USCRTF added a priority watershed partnership designation to Wahikuli and Honokōwai in 2011, and the West Maui Ridge to Reef Initiative (WMR2R) was formalized in 2012 creating layers of commitment to interagency and community partner collaboration in this area of West Maui. Ongoing and planned projects enacted to improve condition of reefs include the establishment of the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area (KHFMA) in July 2009, and the initiation of several WMR2R projects intended to reduce extent and impact of land-based sources of pollution. Summarized below is what is known about current status and recent trends of local reefs in order to provide a baseline against which future condition can be assessed"--Summary.
