Here we begin with a quick overview of what we mean by "coastal" elements and components and then go on to focus on one particular aspect of the coast: charismatic megafauna. Specifically we discuss nighttime Manta Ray ecotourism off Kailua-Kona region of south western Hawai'i and introduce our first data collection effort around the fiscal input of Manta Ray tourism to this region of the Big Island.
