Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge - Hawaii

One of the few regions within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) with a marine component, Midway Atoll is one of the most remote coral atolls on Earth, located near the edge of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Nearly two million birds call it home for much of each year, including the world's largest population of Laysan Albatrosses, or "gooney birds". Hawaiian monk seals, green sea turtles, and spinner dolphins all frequent the lagoon.

Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM), 2006-2016 - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI)

Boundary of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM), located in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Created in 2006, Papahanaumokuakea is the largest conservation area in the U.S. and one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world. It is home to extensive coral reefs harboring over 7,000 marine species, one quarter of which are found only in Hawaii. Many of the islands and shallow water environments are important habitats for rare species such as the threatened green sea turtle and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Significant cultural Native Hawaiian sites can also be found on the islands of Nihoa and Mokumanamana (Necker Island). Co-managed with the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of the Interior, the monument preserves one of the most untouched areas of coral reef in the world.

This layer shows the PMNM boundary prior to its expansion in 2016. On August 26, 2016, President Obama signed a proclamation expanding the monument from 139,797 square miles (362,073 square kilometers) to 582,578 square miles (1,508,870 square kilometers). This extended the monument boundary westward of -163 degrees longitude out to Hawaii's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) at 200 nautical miles offshore. The present layer shows the monument boundary as it existed *before* this expansion. To view the expanded boundary, access the data layers for "hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea" or "hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea_line" instead.

Bottomfish Restricted Fishing Areas - Hawaii

Boundaries of bottomfish restricted fishing areas (BRFA) for the State of Hawaii.

Chlorophyll-a Standard Deviation of Long-Term Mean, 2002-2013 - Hawaii

Chlorophyll-a is a widely used proxy for phytoplankton biomass and an indicator for changes in phytoplankton production. As an essential source of energy in the marine environment, the extent and availability of phytoplankton biomass can be highly influential for fisheries production and dictate trophic structure in marine ecosystems. Changes in phytoplankton biomass are predominantly effected by changes in nutrient availability, through either natural (e.g., turbulent ocean mixing) or anthropogenic (e.g., agricultural runoff) processes. This layer represents the standard deviation of the 8-day time series of chlorophyll-a (mg/m3) from 2002-2013. Monthly and 8-day 4-km (0.0417-degree) spatial resolution data were obtained from the MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Aqua satellite instrument from the NASA OceanColor website (http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov).

The standard deviation was calculated over all 8-day chlorophyll-a data from 2002-2013 for each pixel. A quality control mask was applied to remove spurious data associated with shallow water, following Gove et al., 2013. Nearshore map pixels with no data were filled with values from the nearest neighboring valid offshore pixel by using a grid of points and the Near Analysis tool in ArcGIS then converting points to raster.

Species Distribution: Blainville's Beaked Whale - Hawaii

This dataset contains a collection of known point locations of Blainville's beaked 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 surveys for odontocetes in Hawaiian waters since 2000. From photo-identification and satellite tagging there is evidence of a small resident population of Blainville's beaked whales off of Hawaii Island as well as an offshore population. Less is known about this species around the other Hawaiian islands. In addition, Dr. Joseph Mobley of the Marine Mammal Research Consultants (MMRC) led aerial surveys for cetaceans in Hawaiian waters from 1993-2003.

Marine Life Conservation Districts - Hawaii

First introduced to Hawaii in 1967 with Hanauama Bay on Oahu, Marine Life Conservation Districts (MLCD) are designed to conserve and replenish marine resources. MLCDs allow only limited fishing and other consumptive uses, or prohibit such uses entirely. They provide fish and other aquatic life with a protected area in which to grow and reproduce, and are home to a great variety of species.

MLCDs are established by the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), as authorized by Chapter 190 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. Suggestions for areas to be included in the MLCD system may come from the State Legislature or the general public. In addition, the DLNR's Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) regularly conducts surveys of marine ecosystems throughout the state, and may recommend MLCD status for areas.

Aids To Navigation (ATON) Buoys - Hawaii

Displays the location of buoys for the State of Hawaii as recorded on NOAA nautical charts, which are used as aids to navigation (ATONs) to indicate traffic channels, to warn against potential dangers, or for other navigational purposes. Some include lights or radar reflectors to make them visible at night and in conditions of reduced visibility. In the IALA B maritime buoyage system (North and South America), red lateral markers have even numbers and should remain on your right when returning from sea ("red, right, returning") while green lateral markers have odd numbers and should remain on your left. Other colors and color combinations are used for non-lateral markers with a variety of purposes.

Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy (HCRS) Conservation Action Plan (CAP): South Kohala Priority Site

The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) is the primary agency responsible for coordinating Hawaii's reef management efforts in the main Hawaiian Islands. The Coral Reef Working Group (CRWG), made up of key state and federal partners involved in coral reef management, was established to help provide guidance for the State of Hawaii's coral program.

The 2010 Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy (HCRS) is the guiding coral reef management document used by the DAR with support from the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program. The HCRS was developed through a participatory process including DAR staff as well as other agency representatives, academics and NGO partners and regional experts. Prior to the completion of the HCRS, management efforts were informed by threat-focused Local Action Strategies (LAS's). While the HRCS prioritizes place-based stewardship efforts, it includes and incorporates actions and needs identified by the LAS's.

This layer outlines the HCRS project boundary for a portion of the west coast of Hawaii Island (Big Island) in South Kohala. The goal for the South Kohala Conservation Action Plan (CAP) is to develop strategies to address priority threats to South Kohala's coral reef ecosystems. This process will engage statebolders to identify: 1) priority conservation targets, 2) threats acting on the targets, 3) strategies to conserve the targets, and 4) measurable indicators to evaluate the success of those strategies at conserving the targets.
