The project was conceived by former SOS Executive Director Carl Stepath and Limahuli Gardens Director Chipper Wichman. The primary responsibility of the konohiki was strict enforcement of conservation measures to insure that upland activities such as logging did not produce adverse impacts on the coastal lands and near shore reefs. The objective was to practice conservation of natural resources from the mountain to the sea. Over the past years, Wichman has overseen the restoration of Limahuli Valley to its original vegetative state. The participants in the grant project will obtain baseline reef data during the summer of 1999 which will reflect the overall health of the Ke'e and Limahuli reefs and, thus, the effectiveness of conservation measures utilized by Wickman and the Gardens.
