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)
Front view illustration of a Christmas Berry. An introduced, invasive shrub or small tree.
Heteromeles arbutifolia (Christmas Berry)
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)
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)
One approach to the development of better coastal and marine policy and management is the concept of marine managed areas (MMAs). A MMA is an area of ocean, or combination of land and ocean, where human activities are managed toward common goals. MMAs are a form of ecosystem-based management, where all elements of a particular system are considered together. When the principles of a marine managed area are fully implemented, the resulting benefits to both the environment and humans can be optimized.
Marine managed areas
In Hawaiian, this common flowering vine is called pohuehue. It was used by ancient Hawaiians for cordage, leaves as shade for fish traps, and medicinally.
