Front view illustration of a Koa tree, endemic to the Hawaiian islands. There are actually two species of koa native to Hawaii. The large forest koa is well known around the world for the beautiful hard wood. Koa's smaller cousin, koai?a, that once grew in the lowlands of most of the main Hawaiian Islands, has an even harder wood that is much prized for its gnarled grain.
Acacia koa (Koa tree)
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the cycle in which environmental management can use to improve an understanding of the issue, plan policy, implement action, and monitor progress, and how each affect one another.
Adaptive management cycle
Front view illustration of an adult Green Jobfish.
Aprion virescens (Green Jobfish) : adult
Side view illustration of an adult Blue-spotted Grouper. The blue-spotted grouper was introduced to the Hawaiian islands from Moorea, French Polynesia in the late 1950s in an attempt to establish a grouper fishery in Hawaii.
Cephalopholis argus (Blue-spotted Grouper)
Front view illustration of an Aweoweo, endemic to the Hawaiian islands. Native water and land birds (e.g., Nihoa finch), and seabirds use Aweoweo for food, nesting material or nesting sites. Early Hawaiians used the wood to form shark hooks (makau mano) fitted with bone points. Aweoweo leaves and shoots were wrapped in ti leaves, cooked and eaten in times of food scarcity by early Hawaiians.
Chenopodium oahuense (Aweoweo)
Conceptual diagram illustrating the general overview of selecting and reviewing ecological indicators in a environmental project.
Choosing indicators in project management

Conceptual diagram, and a conceptual model illustrating the framework and linkages in an ecological monitoring program.
Conceptual framework of a monitoring program
Conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a designated use area in a body of water that is used to determine the threshold values that are used in ecological indicators.
Determining threshold values
Conceptual diagram illustrating how an estuary can be divided in ecological reporting.
Division of regions in ecological report cards
Conceptual diagram illustrating how the ecological indicators in a program will affect resources, data management, etc.
Ecological indicators in environmental management
Conceptual diagrams illustrating two the variability of statistical estimates based on sample size in environmental reporting.
Environmental statistics- sample size
Front view of a Wiliwili tree, endemic to the Hawaiian islands. It is typically found in dry forests on leeward island slopes up to an elevation of 600 m.
Erythrina sandwicensis (Wiliwili)
Conceptual diagram illustrating an example of using a diagram for selecting and implementing important indicators. The diagram on the right was developed after three years of monitoring using the guidelines from the left diagram.
Example of diagrams that help select indicators
Conceptual diagram illustrating the ideal balance between a model's complexity and its power to explain that complexity.
Explanatory power vs. complexity in ecological…
Conceptual diagram illustrating the sample design in relation with the parameters and instruments while gathering data in a coastal assessment.
Gathering data for Coastal Assessment
Conceptual diagram illustrating the geographic scale of an environmental report card. The three assessments shown are that of the Chesapeake Bay on a national, regional, and local level.
Geographic scaling of report cards
Ideal conditions required for growth of any particular organism vary over scales of time and space. This occurs because the success of a habitat and associated organisms are dependent on a variety of factors. By protecting several replicates of similar habitats in the system, along an environmental gradient, the likelihood increases that at least one habitat will be healthy in any particular year. The life cycle of lobsters shows that just one species needs many connected habitats to survive and reproduce.
Habitat patchwork
