NPS Inventory and Monitoring workshops in Hawaii

NPS Hawaii Meeting AttendeesIAN staff recently started a new project with the National Park Service (NPS) at sites in the Pacific Region. Workshops were held with Inventory and Monitoring staff for the region as well as parks staff at the four west Hawaii parks: Pu`ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park, Pu`uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, and Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail. The project will produce a poster for each park as well as a science newsletter, summarizing the cultural context for key natural resources within the parks as well as key threats, including abundant invasive species and impacts from rapid adjacent development.
