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 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.

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.

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
Front view illustration of a Christmas Berry. An introduced, invasive shrub or small tree.

Front view illustration of a West Indian Lantana. It is a weed of cultivated land, fence lines, pastures, rangelands, and waste places. It thrives in dry and wet regions and often grows in valleys, mountain slopes, and coastal areas. It is somewhat shade-tolerant and, therefore, can become the dominant understory in open forests or in tropical tree crops. In pastures it forms dense thickets which shade out and encroach upon desirable pasture plants. With time it can form pure stands over large areas, the
Lantana camara (West Indian Lantana)
The Hawaiian Hoary Bat, known as ‘ope‘ape‘a in Hawai'i, has a heavy fur coat that is brown and gray, and ears tinged with white, giving it a frosted or
Lasirus cinereus semotus (Hawaiian Hoary Bat)
Known as Koa haole (foreign koa) in Hawaii, or leucaena, is abundant as a weed in dry lowlands of Hawaii, often forming dense thickets in lowlands and lower mountain slopes of 2500 ft (762 m) altitude.
Leucaena leucocephala (White Leadtree)
Conceptual diagram illustrating the remote sensing process in water quality monitoring. This deals with how light interacts with the remote sensing process.
