Abstract:
"This plan was developed by a multidisciplinary project team who convened at four workshops from 2011- 2013 as part of a peer planning and learning process with two other marine sites, Molokini Shoal Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD) and Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission, to increase effective management of Hawais marine protected areas. The project team used Conservation Action Planning (CAP), a powerful process to guide conservation teams to develop focused strategies and measures of success. Utilizing the CAP process provided practitioners with a common approach and language for conservation planning and the opportunity for candid exchange and peer review. Within the project scope, the CAP team identified five conservation targets (the features, ecosystems, species, and processes of the area that are the primary focus of management), and selected the coral reef ecosystem as a single priority conservation target. The objectives and strategic actions to restoring the coral reef ecosystem mean that actions focus on increasing the health of the conservation targets, decreasing the impacts of the identified threats, and capitalizing on opportunities to restore natural systems. The objectives and strategies of this plan support those of the Wahikuli-Honokowai Watershed Management Plan (WMP), which outlines several strategies pertaining to the reduction of nonpoint source pollution in the Wahikuli and Honokowai watersheds."
