Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs) - Hawaii

Location of fish aggregation device (FAD) buoys within the Main Hawaiian Islands.

Fishermen in Hawaii and other parts of the world have long known that tunas and other pelagic fishes are attracted to floating objects. Fishermen have benefited from this behavior by fishing around floating logs, nets, debris and other flotsam. Hawaii has capitalized on this phenomena by placing FADs in the waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. In these waters, schools of tunas and other important pelagic fishes such as dolphin-fish (mahi-mahi), wahoo (ono), and billfishes can be induced to congregate and remain for periods of time in an area so that fishers can easily locate them. Thus, the FADs are used to "attract" and "hold" pelagic fishes in areas to enhance fishing.

NOTE: Please do not rely on these buoys to check your position. Most buoys have only been located to the nearest 0.1 minute (6 seconds). In addition, each buoy has a watch circle that can be as much as 1 mile in diameter.

Observed Presence of Alien and Invasive Reef Fish, 2000-2013 - Hawaii

This raster data layer represents the presence of alien and invasive reef fish species within 2 km of an observation, including roi or bluespotted grouper (Cephalopholis argus), ta'ape or bluestripe snapper (Lutjanus kasmira), and to'au or blacktail snapper (Lutjanus fulvus). Original data were queried from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) Fisheries Ecology Research Laboratory (FERL) Hawaii Fish and Benthic Biological Synthesis Database (2000-2013), which is synthesized from NOAA, State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and other surveys conducted across the Main Hawaiian Islands.

These data should be considered presence only. Areas with no presence may be due to lack of survey data or observed absence. Raster values of 1 represent areas within 2 km of positive invasive fish observations while values of 0 represent the remaining area. The cell size is 500 m and the area of interest is from the shoreline of the Main Hawaiian Islands extending 5 km offshore and 1 km inshore.

Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) Sea Level: Honolulu, Hawaii

The single value tidal water surface of mean higher high water (MHHW) modeled at the Honolulu tide gauge is used to represent present-day sea level for the urban corridor stretching from Honolulu International Airport to Waikiki and Diamond Head along the south shore of Oahu in the state of Hawaii. Water levels are shown as they would appear during the highest high tides (excluding wind-driven tides). Land elevation was derived using a National Geospatial Agency (NGA)-provided digital elevation model (DEM) based on LiDAR data of the Honolulu area collected in 2009. This "bare earth" DEM (vegetation and structures removed) was used to represent the current topography of the study area above zero elevation. The accuracy of the DEM was validated using a selection of 16 Tidal Benchmarks located within the study area. 

Data produced in 2014 by Dr. Charles "Chip" Fletcher of the department of Geology & Geophysics (G&G) in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Supported in part by the NOAA Coastal Storms Program (CSP) and the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program. These data should be used strictly as a planning reference and not for navigation, permitting, or other legal purposes.

Hard-Soft Seafloor Classification, 5m (Simrad) - Tutuila, American Samoa

Preliminary hard and soft seafloor substrate map derived from an unsupervised classification of multibeam backscatter and bathymety derivatives at Tutuila Island, American Samoa, South Pacific. The dataset was derived using a combination of Simrad em3002d backscatter, bathymetric variance, and bathymetric rugosity. The sonar frequencies was 300 kHz and all data were resampled to 5 m grid cell size prior to the classification. Initial supervised classifications of the backscatter data into hard and soft seafloor substrates, using seafloor photographs for groundtruthing and to define regions of interest, were used to define unsupervised class types and to visually evaluate the accuracy of the unsupervised classification seafloor substrate map.

NOAA Shallow-Water Benthic Habitats: Northwestern Hawaiian Islands: Nihoa

Benthic habitat maps for the nearshore, shallow (< 30 m) coastal waters of Nihoa Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) and the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) produced these data to support coral reef research and management. Habitat regions were digitally identified using visual interpretation of orthorectified satellite imagery with a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of approximately 100 square meters (1/40 acre).

A slightly different benthic habitat classification scheme was used for the NWHI compared to the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) and other regions across the Pacific (e.g., American Samoa, Guam, and CNMI). While many classes are similar, they are not categorized as biological cover types, geomorphological structure types, and geographic zones. Instead, a hierarchical scheme was used to flexibly denote substrate category (e.g., unconsolidated and hardbottom), structure (e.g., linear reef or pavement), and cover (e.g., coral, coralline algae, or macroalgae).

A total of 45 detailed benthic habitat classes were identified within the NWHI. For simplification and to more easily distinguish cover types, these are presented in a set of 7 aggregated benthic habitat classes including 5 hardbottom substrate classes (live coral, coralline algae, macroalgae, uncolonized, and unknown biological cover) and 2 unconsolidated substrate classes (macroalgae and uncolonized). Query an aggregated polygon to get the detailed benthic habitat classification at the clicked location.

Species Distribution: False Killer Whale - Hawaii

This dataset contains a collection of known point locations of false killer whales identified either via automated satellite tracking of tagged organisms or through direct human observation via shipborne and aerial surveys. This can be useful for assessing species abundance, population structure, habitat use, and behavior. This collection is aggregated from multiple data sources and survey periods listed below. Each data point contains attributes for further information about the time and source of the observation. This dataset was compiled by the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and may be updated in the future if additional data sources are acquired.

Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) has been undertaking shipborne surveys for odontocetes in Hawaiian waters since 2000. False killer whales have the lowest abundance estimate of any odontocetes in Hawaiian waters. Two populations have been recognized. The main Hawaiian Islands insular population, estimated at about 150 individuals, has been proposed for an endangered listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Two false killer whales from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands insular population were also tagged, with data provided by the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) and Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC). In addition, Dr. Joseph Mobley of the Marine Mammal Research Consultants (MMRC) led aerial surveys for cetaceans in Hawaiian waters from 1993-2003.

Rare Earth Element data from Acid Mine Drainage and Refuse Piles in Shamokin, Pennsylvania

These datasets include characterization results for acid mine drainage (AMD) and coal refuse samples collected around Shamokin, Pennsylvania in May 2024. These datasets report concentrations of Critical Minerals/Rare Earth Elements (CM/REE) in fourteen water samples and fourteen sediment/solid samples. Water samples were collected unfiltered and field-filtered (0.45-micron pore size) in order to evaluate the potential partitioning of CM/REE to suspended solids in AMD waters. The concentration data were determined using High Resolution-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass spectrometry following EPA/ORD-K-GCRD-SOP-1158-1 (EPA/600/X-24/012). This sampling and analytical effort builds upon past sampling events in the area by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). These datasets are of interest to CM/REE researchers as well as neighboring communities for understanding and evaluating the presence and abundance of CM/REEs in both acid mine drainage media and coal mine wastes.
