1
00:00:06.701 --> 00:00:08.810
<v ->Aloha kākou.</v>

2
00:00:08.810 --> 00:00:13.760
And welcome to our Third Thursday presentation today,

3
00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:15.210
we have a great topic lined up

4
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:19.577
for you today called Holomua: Marine 30x30,

5
00:00:19.577 --> 00:00:23.513
Our nearshore aquatic resources management plan for Hawaiʻi.

6
00:00:24.363 --> 00:00:26.664
And we have a great presenter for you.

7
00:00:26.664 --> 00:00:29.472
Lunalilo Kekoa, and he's going to talk

8
00:00:29.472 --> 00:00:31.320
about this initiative,

9
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.610
but before we get started just a few housekeeping items.

10
00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:39.580
On your right you see a go-to webinar control panel,

11
00:00:39.580 --> 00:00:43.760
and this is usually where you can ask questions

12
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:47.870
or chat to us if you're having any technical problems,

13
00:00:47.870 --> 00:00:50.410
most of the time it's with audio.

14
00:00:50.410 --> 00:00:53.050
So if you go to the audio section

15
00:00:53.050 --> 00:00:57.030
and make sure that you're choosing the right input

16
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:59.791
and output for your microphone and speakers,

17
00:00:59.791 --> 00:01:02.620
whether you're using speakers from the computer

18
00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:05.160
or your headset or something like that.

19
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:07.010
So please check that first.

20
00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:08.663
And if you still have problems,

21
00:01:08.663 --> 00:01:12.220
please chat or question one of us

22
00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:16.609
and we will do what we can to help you resolve this.

23
00:01:16.609 --> 00:01:21.060
And we have attendees from all over the world with us today.

24
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:22.950
So we're very grateful to have you.

25
00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:26.790
We've about 300 people registered for this event.

26
00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:28.800
But before we get started,

27
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:33.420
we would like to get started with protocol.

28
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:38.420
So we would present to you a Mele no Papahānaumokuākea,

29
00:01:39.058 --> 00:01:43.070
which was written specifically for Papahānaumokuākea.

30
00:01:43.070 --> 00:01:45.440
And I'm gonna turn it over to Malia Evans,

31
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:49.610
who will do the presentation.

32
00:01:50.622 --> 00:01:54.336
<v ->Aloha mai kākou, Hauʻoli makahiki hou</v>

33
00:01:54.336 --> 00:01:55.921
Happy New Year to all of you.

34
00:01:55.921 --> 00:01:59.330
So we'll begin with protocol so we can set that space

35
00:01:59.330 --> 00:02:03.553
for that giving and receiving of ʻike, knowledge.

36
00:02:09.571 --> 00:02:12.738
(Mele no Papahānaumokuākea in Hawaiian)

37
00:04:05.134 --> 00:04:08.884
Papahānaumokuākea. (clapping)

38
00:04:11.982 --> 00:04:13.982
<v ->Hey, mahalo nui Malia.</v>

39
00:04:16.281 --> 00:04:17.114
All right.

40
00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:22.020
So this presentation is being brought to you

41
00:04:22.020 --> 00:04:25.280
by NOAA's office of National Marine Sanctuaries

42
00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:29.200
and our National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.

43
00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:31.490
And the National Marine Sanctuaries is a network

44
00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:34.670
of Marine Protected Areas and the Great Lakes

45
00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:38.750
and oceans spreading across the United States out

46
00:04:38.750 --> 00:04:40.120
into the Pacific.

47
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.310
We have a state such as Stellwagen Bank, Gray's Reef,

48
00:04:43.310 --> 00:04:45.093
Florida Keys on the East Coast.

49
00:04:46.070 --> 00:04:49.360
Some sites in the Great Lakes, Thunder Bay

50
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.776
and the new site Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast,

51
00:04:51.776 --> 00:04:56.140
and one that's under proposed sanctuary designation

52
00:04:56.140 --> 00:04:57.770
on Lake Ontario.

53
00:04:57.770 --> 00:05:00.050
On the West Coast, we have several sites.

54
00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:03.010
So the Olympic Coast, Channel Islands, Monterey Bay,

55
00:05:03.010 --> 00:05:05.910
and we also have another site that's being designated there

56
00:05:05.910 --> 00:05:10.380
or in process to be designated called the Chumash Heritage

57
00:05:10.380 --> 00:05:14.530
National Marine Sanctuary to celebrate the Chumash people

58
00:05:14.530 --> 00:05:18.500
that live on the coast and their maritime connection.

59
00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:19.900
Out here in the Pacific,

60
00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:21.550
we have Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale

61
00:05:21.550 --> 00:05:24.850
and also our site Papahānaumokuākea

62
00:05:24.850 --> 00:05:26.640
Marine National Monument.

63
00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:29.580
And south of us, we have American Samoa.

64
00:05:29.580 --> 00:05:31.870
And our prayers go out to them.

65
00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:33.960
A lot of them do have family in Tonga,

66
00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:38.050
and they were impacted by the recent eruption and tsunami.

67
00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:41.893
So keep them in your prayers and also Rose Atoll.

68
00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:47.120
The National Marine Sanctuary System is celebrating 50 years

69
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.120
of protecting our great ocean, underwater parks.

70
00:05:52.260 --> 00:05:56.638
So this year we're celebrating that and Papahānaumokuākea

71
00:05:56.638 --> 00:05:59.157
of course, you've heard of that.

72
00:05:59.157 --> 00:06:02.190
And we are actually the largest fully protected area

73
00:06:02.190 --> 00:06:07.190
in the world with 582,578 square miles.

74
00:06:07.397 --> 00:06:11.020
Fully protected meaning we have legislation

75
00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:14.380
that keeps us in perpetuity and protecting that place.

76
00:06:14.380 --> 00:06:18.110
And we don't allow any extractive activities

77
00:06:18.110 --> 00:06:20.053
within the monument boundary.

78
00:06:21.070 --> 00:06:24.820
So are our hosts today, you met Malia Evans earlier,

79
00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:28.080
wonderful Education Native Hawaiian Outreach specialist.

80
00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:31.530
Myself, Andy Collins, I'm the Education Coordinator,

81
00:06:31.530 --> 00:06:34.940
and Justin Umholtz who is our Education Specialist.

82
00:06:34.940 --> 00:06:37.567
And we usually work out of this place,

83
00:06:37.567 --> 00:06:41.160
Mokupāpapa Discovery Center in Hilo,

84
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:42.900
but right now like many of others,

85
00:06:42.900 --> 00:06:45.350
we are in a virtual world

86
00:06:46.260 --> 00:06:50.110
and our center has been closed for two years.

87
00:06:50.110 --> 00:06:52.260
Hopefully, we'll be able to reopen this year.

88
00:06:52.260 --> 00:06:54.320
And if so, we'd love to have you come

89
00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:57.910
visit our beautiful 20,000 square foot facility in Hilo.

90
00:06:57.910 --> 00:07:00.970
We have panels and English and Hawaiian,

91
00:07:00.970 --> 00:07:04.060
beautiful 3,500 gallon saltwater aquarium,

92
00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:05.920
and many other exhibits related

93
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.243
to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

94
00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:11.860
But overall, our system of underwater parks,

95
00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:14.380
the National Marine Sanctuary System protects these areas

96
00:07:14.380 --> 00:07:17.970
for their biodiversity, also to provide shelter

97
00:07:17.970 --> 00:07:21.510
for many threatened endangered species like this monk seal

98
00:07:21.510 --> 00:07:22.820
and the green sea turtle

99
00:07:22.820 --> 00:07:25.330
at French Frigate Shoals, or Lalo.

100
00:07:25.330 --> 00:07:27.510
Our cultural heritage, this is a picture

101
00:07:27.510 --> 00:07:30.040
from Mokumanamana, the second island

102
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.800
in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

103
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.480
So we're at the highest concentration of sacred

104
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.030
or cultural sites anywhere in the Hawaiian archipelago.

105
00:07:39.030 --> 00:07:40.420
Also maritime heritage.

106
00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:43.200
We had many amazing shipwreck sites

107
00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:47.050
that celebrate our maritime past across the program.

108
00:07:47.050 --> 00:07:48.980
And we conduct research on these sites

109
00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:52.560
to better study in order to better protect these animals.

110
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.950
The purpose of the research that we do is

111
00:07:54.950 --> 00:07:58.110
to inform management and also monitor them

112
00:07:58.110 --> 00:08:00.570
for changing conditions due to climate change

113
00:08:00.570 --> 00:08:02.880
and other human impacts.

114
00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:04.760
And we also restore some of these sites.

115
00:08:04.760 --> 00:08:06.880
This is a great program in the Florida Keys

116
00:08:06.880 --> 00:08:08.650
where they're outplanting corals

117
00:08:08.650 --> 00:08:11.320
to restore some of their damaged reefs.

118
00:08:11.320 --> 00:08:13.710
And our education programs like this one,

119
00:08:13.710 --> 00:08:16.720
try to connect the public with these places.

120
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.360
We do that through outreach

121
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.490
and through an incredible volunteer base.

122
00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:23.370
So if you live anywhere near a National Marine Sanctuary,

123
00:08:23.370 --> 00:08:25.590
and like to get involved, please contact us

124
00:08:25.590 --> 00:08:28.560
and we'd love to have you as a volunteer.

125
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.120
But more important than ever in this challenging time

126
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.740
that we're in, these are just special marine places

127
00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:36.700
where we can reconnect with ourselves

128
00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:40.430
and with the environment and understand our place

129
00:08:40.430 --> 00:08:42.300
on this Earth and how we can help

130
00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:44.203
to continue with and protect it.

131
00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:47.860
So at this time, I'd like to introduce our presenter today.

132
00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:52.860
So Luna, you can turn on your webcam and your microphone.

133
00:08:53.890 --> 00:08:57.540
So Luna is the Community-based Subsistence Fishery Area

134
00:08:57.540 --> 00:08:59.080
planner for the State of Hawaiʻi

135
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.140
Division of Aquatic Resources.

136
00:09:01.140 --> 00:09:05.990
and helps them navigate the Holomua, sorry,

137
00:09:05.990 --> 00:09:07.490
Marine 30x30 team.

138
00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:09.880
Luna is from Oʻahu and enjoys being

139
00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:12.780
with his ʻohana surfing, diving, fishing, tidepooling

140
00:09:12.780 --> 00:09:14.690
or anything to do with the ocean.

141
00:09:14.690 --> 00:09:17.840
He volunteers the Community loʻi, taro patches

142
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.890
loko iʻa fish pond

143
00:09:19.890 --> 00:09:22.314
and loves spending time culturally grounded

144
00:09:22.314 --> 00:09:24.200
at Kahoʻolawe.

145
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:27.253
So I'm gonna turn the presentation over to Luna,

146
00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:31.963
and change the presenter to you Luna.

147
00:09:31.963 --> 00:09:35.910
You can turn on your webcam and microphone

148
00:09:37.937 --> 00:09:39.093
and I will go silent.

149
00:09:40.930 --> 00:09:43.843
It's all you Luna, mahalo.

150
00:09:57.590 --> 00:09:59.770
<v ->Can you see the presentation?</v>

151
00:09:59.770 --> 00:10:01.190
<v Andy>Looks good.</v>

152
00:10:01.190 --> 00:10:02.203
<v ->Okay, perfect.</v>

153
00:10:03.170 --> 00:10:04.380
Okay. Mahalo Andy.

154
00:10:04.380 --> 00:10:06.093
And so aloha mai kākou.

155
00:10:07.110 --> 00:10:08.040
and I just want to point out.

156
00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:09.380
Mahalo for that introduction

157
00:10:09.380 --> 00:10:12.280
and for having that cultural protocol.

158
00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:15.776
I'm gonna share some of that in this presentation today,

159
00:10:15.776 --> 00:10:17.980
but mahalo for that.

160
00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:21.410
So aloha mai kākou, my name is Lunalilo Kekoa.

161
00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:23.020
And like Andy mentioned,

162
00:10:23.020 --> 00:10:26.364
I am the Community-based Subsistence Fishing Area planner

163
00:10:26.364 --> 00:10:28.830
for the Division of Aquatic Resources,

164
00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:31.050
but that's really just a title.

165
00:10:31.050 --> 00:10:35.730
What I do in DAR is really been a listener,

166
00:10:35.730 --> 00:10:38.012
communities, managers, scientists,

167
00:10:38.012 --> 00:10:39.680
they all have a lot to say.

168
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:43.150
And so just listening to what they have to say,

169
00:10:43.150 --> 00:10:44.500
you don't have to say much.

170
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.250
Being a translator, right?

171
00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:48.980
There's a lot of managers and scientists

172
00:10:48.980 --> 00:10:52.420
who have these scientific concepts,

173
00:10:52.420 --> 00:10:53.800
but we need to simplify it

174
00:10:53.800 --> 00:10:57.152
so that fishers and community members can understand

175
00:10:57.152 --> 00:10:58.740
as well as vice versa.

176
00:10:58.740 --> 00:10:59.883
Like listening to the communities and being like,

177
00:10:59.883 --> 00:11:01.730
"Oh, if that's what you're trying to say,

178
00:11:01.730 --> 00:11:03.880
here's a scientific term that you can use."

179
00:11:05.090 --> 00:11:07.610
And then holding space for community voices

180
00:11:07.610 --> 00:11:09.583
and values in government processes, right?

181
00:11:09.583 --> 00:11:12.280
Like I grew up on the west side of Oʻahu.

182
00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:13.254
So when folks ask me like,

183
00:11:13.254 --> 00:11:15.010
"Oh, what are the practices over on the Windward side?"

184
00:11:15.010 --> 00:11:16.120
You kind of laugh and tell them,

185
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.910
"It's different because the sun is over the mountain

186
00:11:18.910 --> 00:11:20.040
by like three or four o'clock.

187
00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:22.100
So it's getting dark on your side,

188
00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.130
but I can find you the right person for that issue."

189
00:11:25.130 --> 00:11:27.740
And then just helping to navigate the data in our system.

190
00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:29.680
We got plenty divisions.

191
00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:30.837
People come to us being like,

192
00:11:30.837 --> 00:11:32.897
"Hey, the dive flag rule, we get some issues with that."

193
00:11:32.897 --> 00:11:34.710
And I was like, "Oh, I guess so.

194
00:11:34.710 --> 00:11:35.880
That's in a different division."

195
00:11:35.880 --> 00:11:36.713
And they look at me like,

196
00:11:36.713 --> 00:11:37.620
"What do you mean?"

197
00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:40.703
So just helping people navigate the data in our system.

198
00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:43.160
So that's kind of what I do.

199
00:11:45.050 --> 00:11:48.250
As for today for the next 45 minutes,

200
00:11:48.250 --> 00:11:50.560
I get to provide you not only with information

201
00:11:50.560 --> 00:11:52.740
on the Holomua: Marine 30x30,

202
00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:54.460
but also some lunch hour entertainment.

203
00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:56.700
So sit back and relax, enjoy your lunch

204
00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:58.390
as I share a story with you, right?

205
00:11:58.390 --> 00:12:00.690
And this story is about Holomua: Marine 30x30.

206
00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:02.630
And as part of this story,

207
00:12:02.630 --> 00:12:04.330
I hope to answer the five Ws,

208
00:12:04.330 --> 00:12:06.840
the when, who, what, where and why?

209
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:07.940
And of course the how.

210
00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:12.590
So this is me on Kahoolawe,

211
00:12:12.590 --> 00:12:15.190
a special place where my ohana story starts, right?

212
00:12:15.190 --> 00:12:16.023
Our moʻokūʻauhau begins.

213
00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:20.503
I met my wife on Kahoʻolawe and our oldest keiki,

214
00:12:20.503 --> 00:12:22.590
(speaks Hawaiian) is named for that rain cloud

215
00:12:22.590 --> 00:12:23.620
that connects Maui

216
00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:26.680
to Kahoʻolawe as she was born in Maui.

217
00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:29.390
This picture was taken during the Ke Alanui Polohiwa a Ka̅ne

218
00:12:29.390 --> 00:12:32.350
or summer solstice as we were conducting our kilo

219
00:12:32.350 --> 00:12:34.460
of where the sun rises and sets.

220
00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:37.020
And my observations were shared through music, right?

221
00:12:37.020 --> 00:12:39.400
So this is me writing my report right here.

222
00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:40.970
Music is a passion,

223
00:12:40.970 --> 00:12:43.720
and part of our culture is that we share stories,

224
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.764
observations, or events through our mele

225
00:12:46.764 --> 00:12:49.437
I will also share this ʻOlelo Noʻeau (Hawaiian)

226
00:12:53.384 --> 00:12:55.020
All knowledge is not taught one school.

227
00:12:55.020 --> 00:12:57.680
So what I'm sharing with you today is what was taught to me,

228
00:12:57.680 --> 00:13:00.530
the values that my mom and dad raised me with,

229
00:13:00.530 --> 00:13:03.290
the practices I learned from lawaia in their areas.

230
00:13:03.290 --> 00:13:06.600
And one thing to know is it's not the only way,

231
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.420
others may have different values or practices that they use.

232
00:13:09.420 --> 00:13:12.500
You look at hula and depending on who you dance for,

233
00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:14.740
with the timing, the way he dance the mele.

234
00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:15.780
So throughout this story,

235
00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:18.140
you will hear me reference culture a few times,

236
00:13:18.140 --> 00:13:20.110
and this will include some mele,

237
00:13:20.110 --> 00:13:22.313
but first let's start with the big picture.

238
00:13:25.994 --> 00:13:29.070
So here I present to you Governor Ige's

239
00:13:29.070 --> 00:13:31.310
Sustainable Hawaiʻi Initiative aiming

240
00:13:31.310 --> 00:13:35.500
to protect local resources and facilitate sustainable use

241
00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:37.220
of our natural environment.

242
00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:41.070
So this includes doubling our local food production,

243
00:13:41.070 --> 00:13:43.843
creating our inter-agency biosecurity plan,

244
00:13:44.710 --> 00:13:47.470
having 100% renewable energy by 2045,

245
00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:53.630
protecting 30% of our watersheds by 2030,

246
00:13:53.630 --> 00:13:56.298
and last but not least 30%

247
00:13:56.298 --> 00:14:00.023
of our nearshore marine areas effectively managed by 2030.

248
00:14:02.370 --> 00:14:05.740
And so many of you have probably heard the history

249
00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:07.750
and background of Holomua,

250
00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:09.290
but I guarantee you

251
00:14:09.290 --> 00:14:12.403
that you have never heard the Holomua: Marine 30x30 mele.

252
00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:16.655
And so I'm gonna share the first verse of this mele

253
00:14:16.655 --> 00:14:17.533
written for the Holomua, right?

254
00:14:18.770 --> 00:14:19.603
And it goes,

255
00:14:22.087 --> 00:14:27.087
♪ 2016 at the IUCN, Governor Ige gave a speech ♪

256
00:14:27.597 --> 00:14:29.986

259
00:14:37.829 --> 00:14:41.608

260
00:14:41.608 --> 00:14:45.519

♪ Transparency is important working with communities. ♪

263
00:14:54.810 --> 00:14:58.110
And so that mele I shared provides you with the when.

264
00:14:58.110 --> 00:14:59.400
So it started in 2016

265
00:14:59.400 --> 00:15:02.770
when Governor Ige made this proclamation at IUCN,

266
00:15:02.770 --> 00:15:04.796
that we're gonna effectively manage 30%

267
00:15:04.796 --> 00:15:07.070
of nearshore by 2030.

268
00:15:07.070 --> 00:15:09.163
So you got the when.

269
00:15:10.570 --> 00:15:12.360
The goal of Holomua is

270
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:15.050
to effectively manage Hawaii's nearshore waters

271
00:15:15.050 --> 00:15:18.230
with 30% established as Marine Management Areas

272
00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:20.980
or MMAs by 2030.

273
00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:23.180
And this means ensuring that our resources will be there

274
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:24.800
for future generations, right?

275
00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:28.220
In Hawaiian, we talk about seven generations out, right?

276
00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:29.950
We wanna make sure that our resources are there

277
00:15:29.950 --> 00:15:32.340
for seven generations to come.

278
00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:33.990
And the way that we're gonna accomplish this is

279
00:15:33.990 --> 00:15:35.610
by working with communities

280
00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:37.260
using our marine management tools, right?

281
00:15:37.260 --> 00:15:40.470
So DAR has the ability to manage, to create regulations,

282
00:15:40.470 --> 00:15:41.520
to say, "You know what?

283
00:15:41.520 --> 00:15:44.590
The fish gotta be this big in order for you to catch them.

284
00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:48.060
You can only catch this much fish, bag limits.

285
00:15:48.060 --> 00:15:49.960
You can only catch them during this season.

286
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.750
So seasonal closures and gear,

287
00:15:52.750 --> 00:15:54.650
you're not allowed to harvest using a net,

288
00:15:54.650 --> 00:15:56.873
or you can only use two poles to fish."

289
00:15:56.873 --> 00:16:00.210
And so these are the tools that we have as DAR,

290
00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:02.640
and so different communities have issues

291
00:16:02.640 --> 00:16:03.747
or concerns and they're like,

292
00:16:03.747 --> 00:16:05.360
"Hey, we have this issue in area.

293
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.650
What can we do with you?"

294
00:16:06.650 --> 00:16:08.730
So we look in our toolbox, depending on the issue,

295
00:16:08.730 --> 00:16:11.390
we can pull out, "Hey, maybe this will work for your areas.

296
00:16:11.390 --> 00:16:12.720
These are options for you."

297
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.343
You tell us what to do, right?

298
00:16:17.510 --> 00:16:21.483
And so that leads us to our first poll question.

299
00:16:22.922 --> 00:16:26.790
Sorry, if (indistinct) okay.

300
00:16:26.790 --> 00:16:28.710
<v Malia>Sorry. Didn't mean to cut you off Luna.</v>

301
00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:29.543
<v ->No, no, no.</v>

302
00:16:29.543 --> 00:16:30.680
I was just going to read the question.

303
00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:32.240
It's just a yes or no question.

304
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.493
So if they've heard about Holomua: Marine 30x30?

305
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:38.550
<v Malia>Okay. So I'm going to launch the poll right now</v>

306
00:16:38.550 --> 00:16:40.351
and then people can respond.

307
00:16:40.351 --> 00:16:43.160
So if you are in full screen mode,

308
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:47.770
you want to pop out so that you can answer this question.

309
00:16:47.770 --> 00:16:51.280
Have you heard about Holomua: Marine 30x30?

310
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:55.770
So go ahead and register your yes or no,

311
00:16:55.770 --> 00:16:58.190
your ae or aʻole

312
00:16:58.190 --> 00:17:01.520
and we will get those results over to Luna.

313
00:17:01.520 --> 00:17:04.640
So we'll do five more seconds. You guys are awesome.

314
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:09.640
We got lots of you voting four three, two, and one,

315
00:17:11.010 --> 00:17:13.163
and I'm gonna close up that poll,

316
00:17:14.070 --> 00:17:17.570
and Luna, I'm gonna share the results with you.

317
00:17:17.570 --> 00:17:21.010
So well, we got some very astute people

318
00:17:21.010 --> 00:17:23.033
who are aware of 66%

319
00:17:23.033 --> 00:17:25.300
of yes, they have heard about Holomua.

320
00:17:25.300 --> 00:17:27.393
34%, no.

321
00:17:29.860 --> 00:17:31.370
All right, back to you Luna.

322
00:17:31.370 --> 00:17:32.203
<v ->Mahalo for that.</v>

323
00:17:32.203 --> 00:17:34.487
And that's good to know that way we can figure out...

324
00:17:34.487 --> 00:17:36.260
And we're gonna have a question later on.

325
00:17:36.260 --> 00:17:38.030
So hopefully this helps,

326
00:17:38.030 --> 00:17:41.190
but mahalo for providing your manaʻo as well.

327
00:17:41.190 --> 00:17:44.440
Okay. So we got the when, let's work on the who, right?

328
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.450
So the who is the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

329
00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:49.530
And within DLNR,

330
00:17:51.340 --> 00:17:54.170
that stands for it is the Division of Aquatic Resources

331
00:17:54.170 --> 00:17:55.360
or DAR, right?

332
00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:58.254
And within DAR we have a Holomua Team, right?

333
00:17:58.254 --> 00:18:01.250
And so I think of our team, this Holomua team is our canoe.

334
00:18:01.250 --> 00:18:06.250
And so we have Stacia Marcoux, who is our MMA Biologist.

335
00:18:06.610 --> 00:18:09.530
We have Anita Tsang, who is our Grau Fellow.

336
00:18:09.530 --> 00:18:10.740
We have Diana Lopera,

337
00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:13.010
who is our 30 by 30 Planning Associate.

338
00:18:13.010 --> 00:18:16.280
We have Kealii Sagum, a legal fellow in DAR.

339
00:18:16.280 --> 00:18:17.420
And we have Justin Herbert,

340
00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:20.110
who is our Funding and Contracts Group.

341
00:18:20.110 --> 00:18:22.340
And so I will also mention that both Stacia and I,

342
00:18:22.340 --> 00:18:24.700
are civil service positions in the state.

343
00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:26.430
And so this was a way for DAR

344
00:18:26.430 --> 00:18:29.320
to institutionalize Holomua back into our division

345
00:18:29.320 --> 00:18:31.320
so that we can navigate this initiative.

346
00:18:32.758 --> 00:18:34.230
And the other thing with this canoe, right?

347
00:18:34.230 --> 00:18:37.050
So we can go to Kauaʻi, we go to Maui,

348
00:18:37.050 --> 00:18:39.260
but one of the things in culturally, that's not our place.

349
00:18:39.260 --> 00:18:41.700
We don't know the people there, we don't know other areas.

350
00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:43.770
So we work with our DAR team on island.

351
00:18:43.770 --> 00:18:45.597
We work with the people of there saying like,

352
00:18:45.597 --> 00:18:49.680
"Hey, this is the template that we have for the state.

353
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.600
How does this template work for your island?

354
00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:53.180
Like who are the people you need to work with?

355
00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:54.410
And what are the areas?"

356
00:18:54.410 --> 00:18:55.243
We don't know.

357
00:18:55.243 --> 00:18:56.440
That's not our place so we're gonna come

358
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.033
to you and ask, right?

359
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.513
Another thing.

360
00:19:00.513 --> 00:19:03.570
So culturally, we always mahalo those who came before us.

361
00:19:03.570 --> 00:19:07.440
And so before moving on the who also includes people

362
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.273
who came before us.

363
00:19:08.273 --> 00:19:11.930
So big mahalo is to Carrie Little John, Casey Ching,

364
00:19:11.930 --> 00:19:15.090
Burt Weeks, Ryan McDermott, Brad Stubs,

365
00:19:15.090 --> 00:19:19.243
and Sean Micatpul, Kellyanne Kobayashi, and Laʻakea.

366
00:19:20.179 --> 00:19:22.750
They were all part of our team are still part of our team,

367
00:19:22.750 --> 00:19:25.200
but we mahalo all of them for what they provided

368
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.820
for our team, right?

369
00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:28.683
So that's the who, we've got the who.

370
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.090
Now the where, right?

371
00:19:32.090 --> 00:19:35.950
And so the where is from the high tide watermark, right

372
00:19:35.950 --> 00:19:39.310
to state waters from high tide watermark out to a depth

373
00:19:39.310 --> 00:19:41.693
of 50 meters or 167 feet.

374
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.830
30% of each Island, we're not saying 30% no takes,

375
00:19:46.830 --> 00:19:50.580
but each island of marine managed areas

376
00:19:50.580 --> 00:19:52.683
that are ecologically connected, right?

377
00:19:53.810 --> 00:19:56.360
And it's the entire nearshore, right?

378
00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:57.760
So like the title I mentioned,

379
00:19:57.760 --> 00:20:01.020
Holomua: Marine 30x30 is being utilized by DAR

380
00:20:01.020 --> 00:20:02.750
as our nearshore management plan.

381
00:20:02.750 --> 00:20:03.870
And this way,

382
00:20:03.870 --> 00:20:05.800
it doesn't matter who's the next governor, right?

383
00:20:05.800 --> 00:20:07.183
DAR is committed to this initiative.

384
00:20:07.183 --> 00:20:08.400
This is how we're looking

385
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.950
at managing our nearshore resources from now on, right?

386
00:20:11.950 --> 00:20:13.080
And so it's gonna continue,

387
00:20:13.080 --> 00:20:15.380
it's gonna sustain itself, right?

388
00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:18.330
And then connecting to the Mauka actions, right?.

389
00:20:18.330 --> 00:20:20.700
So as you sign that Hawaiʻi sustainable initiative,

390
00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:25.070
like there was a 30% protection of our watersheds, right?

391
00:20:25.070 --> 00:20:27.862
So what's happening up Mauka is gonna affect the Makai.

392
00:20:27.862 --> 00:20:29.810
So we have the Makai piece.

393
00:20:29.810 --> 00:20:31.317
We can partner with DOFAW to say,

394
00:20:31.317 --> 00:20:33.900
"Hey, before you guys go and do work on mauka,

395
00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:36.030
let us go and do our surveys at the bottom

396
00:20:36.030 --> 00:20:38.980
in the makai part for see what the baseline is."

397
00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:42.300
That way once you guys start, like, put in the fences,

398
00:20:42.300 --> 00:20:44.400
we can see what that difference is, right?

399
00:20:45.634 --> 00:20:47.550
And so making sure that we got

400
00:20:47.550 --> 00:20:49.743
that Mauka to Makai connection, okay.

401
00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:55.981
So now we're gonna jump into the what, right?

402
00:20:55.981 --> 00:20:59.280
And we start with the name, right?

403
00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:02.400
Holomua was given a name, was given a name Holomua, right?

404
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.470
And so this means progress or improvement, right?

405
00:21:06.470 --> 00:21:09.490
And so it wasn't just for the initiative,

406
00:21:09.490 --> 00:21:12.410
and I can speak to this because I was the one

407
00:21:12.410 --> 00:21:14.570
that gave the name for this initiative,

408
00:21:14.570 --> 00:21:16.350
but it wasn't just for this initiative,

409
00:21:16.350 --> 00:21:19.010
it was for DAR as well, our division, right?

410
00:21:19.010 --> 00:21:22.010
So taking like DAR's branching out,

411
00:21:22.010 --> 00:21:23.260
taking a holistic approach

412
00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:26.430
to how we evaluate our marine managed areas, right?

413
00:21:26.430 --> 00:21:29.190
Where we're starting to be inclusive of community data

414
00:21:29.190 --> 00:21:31.460
and utilizing that data in management decisions

415
00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:33.160
or policy making.

416
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.430
And Holomua also means to improve.

417
00:21:35.430 --> 00:21:38.610
So improving the distrust and relationships with fishers.

418
00:21:38.610 --> 00:21:40.930
Looking at our current regulations and management areas

419
00:21:40.930 --> 00:21:44.010
to see if there's a need to modify and improve.

420
00:21:44.010 --> 00:21:46.560
A good example is on Maui, Kahului Harbor.

421
00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:48.050
They wanna revise their managed areas

422
00:21:48.050 --> 00:21:52.090
to make it more applicable to what the situation is.

423
00:21:52.090 --> 00:21:55.230
They also adjusted the definition of like weke ʻoama

424
00:21:55.230 --> 00:21:57.150
based upon feedback.

425
00:21:57.150 --> 00:21:58.970
Our division is also going back and looking

426
00:21:58.970 --> 00:22:01.730
at revising the crustacean regulations.

427
00:22:01.730 --> 00:22:04.640
So this name was given to guide our division

428
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:06.963
and this initiative forward in a Pono way.

429
00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:14.682
Okay. And so far throughout this story,

430
00:22:14.682 --> 00:22:16.290
you've heard me reference a couple

431
00:22:16.290 --> 00:22:17.830
of times Hawaiian culture

432
00:22:17.830 --> 00:22:19.820
and how it's reflected in different aspects

433
00:22:19.820 --> 00:22:21.550
of Holomua: Marine 30x30.

434
00:22:21.550 --> 00:22:26.380
And so in Hawaiʻi, fishing is also part of our culture.

435
00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:29.860
We have legends, moʻolelo about ʻaiʻai kula

436
00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:31.890
about these fishing shrines where you go

437
00:22:31.890 --> 00:22:34.560
and offer your first catch as a sign of respect.

438
00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:36.550
Your offering to the Akua.

439
00:22:36.550 --> 00:22:38.680
We also have ʻolelo noʻeau like this one

440
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:43.513
that captures observations or relationship with resources.

441
00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:47.900
Where the sea broils, there the moi fish dwells.

442
00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:49.520
And these are just simple observations

443
00:22:49.520 --> 00:22:52.300
that Hawaiians they put them out there and say like,

444
00:22:52.300 --> 00:22:53.610
"Hey, when this is happening,

445
00:22:53.610 --> 00:22:54.930
that means that this is happening."

446
00:22:54.930 --> 00:22:56.093
It's correlations.

447
00:22:57.330 --> 00:23:00.210
And then mele, we have a lot of mele about resources.

448
00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:04.720
And I'm pretty sure a lot of you know Israel Kamakawiwoʻole

449
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.810
for his rendition of "Somewhere over the Rainbow."

450
00:23:07.810 --> 00:23:10.200
and "What a Wonderful World." Medley.

451
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:13.312
But he also sang another song entitled "Aloha Ka manini."

452
00:23:13.312 --> 00:23:14.463
And it goes,

453
00:23:15.335 --> 00:23:18.502
(singing in Hawaiian)

454
00:23:28.870 --> 00:23:31.310
So the manini and the popolo fish

455
00:23:31.310 --> 00:23:35.700
that noho or live reside on the laupapa, the reefs.

456
00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:38.900
And so these culture connections are big part

457
00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:42.470
of the foundation where Holomua is we're starting from.

458
00:23:42.470 --> 00:23:43.850
And there's a lot more culture.

459
00:23:43.850 --> 00:23:46.080
And as we continue on with our story,

460
00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:47.230
we're hearing about it.

461
00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:53.090
And so we want to start with some

462
00:23:53.090 --> 00:23:54.520
of these applying lessons learned.

463
00:23:54.520 --> 00:23:55.840
So part of the what is making sure

464
00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:57.640
that we're applying lessons learned.

465
00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:59.700
Knowledge in your head is just in your head until you start

466
00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:00.957
to share it or apply it.

467
00:24:00.957 --> 00:24:03.980
And so one of the first things was our messaging.

468
00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:05.080
Like when we're talking about

469
00:24:05.080 --> 00:24:09.300
what Holomua is we use the term Marine Management Areas

470
00:24:09.300 --> 00:24:10.663
especially here in Hawaiʻi.

471
00:24:12.210 --> 00:24:15.080
You look at different initiatives

472
00:24:15.080 --> 00:24:17.110
and they're using Marine Protected Areas

473
00:24:17.110 --> 00:24:18.150
and no offense to NOAA,

474
00:24:18.150 --> 00:24:23.150
but here in Hawaiʻi when you use MPAs there's a wall

475
00:24:23.210 --> 00:24:24.180
that goes up like boom,

476
00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:26.700
there's this protected area.

477
00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.920
Does that mean we can't go in?

478
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.750
what are we protecting it from?

479
00:24:29.750 --> 00:24:33.150
And so we've been using the term Marine Management Area

480
00:24:33.150 --> 00:24:35.310
because we wanna be able to manage it.

481
00:24:35.310 --> 00:24:37.510
We want people to utilize these resources,

482
00:24:37.510 --> 00:24:39.550
but in a Pono way, in a sustainable way.

483
00:24:39.550 --> 00:24:43.160
So making sure that we're using the right terminology

484
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.410
when we're going and sharing what Holomua is.

485
00:24:47.050 --> 00:24:48.600
The other thing is there's more

486
00:24:49.623 --> 00:24:51.970
than just the Holomua: Marine 30x30 Initiative.

487
00:24:51.970 --> 00:24:54.450
There's the Federal 30 by 30,

488
00:24:54.450 --> 00:24:56.576
we heard different states having 30 by 30.

489
00:24:56.576 --> 00:24:59.930
But again, it comes down to this, what does it mean?

490
00:24:59.930 --> 00:25:02.347
You hear the Federal 30 by 30 and they use the word,

491
00:25:02.347 --> 00:25:04.120
"We want to conserve 30%."

492
00:25:04.120 --> 00:25:07.610
And that word conserve also puts up a barrier

493
00:25:07.610 --> 00:25:09.067
with fishers and communities, and they're like,

494
00:25:09.067 --> 00:25:10.193
"What are we conserving it from?

495
00:25:10.193 --> 00:25:12.420
Does that mean we kind of use it?"

496
00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:14.863
So it comes back to Holomua: Marine 30x30

497
00:25:14.863 --> 00:25:17.570
and us wanting to manage these areas,

498
00:25:17.570 --> 00:25:20.270
effectively manage the areas.

499
00:25:20.270 --> 00:25:25.270
And then the thought of managing, of having management,

500
00:25:26.090 --> 00:25:30.130
it views us the people, the kanaka as part of the ecosystem,

501
00:25:30.130 --> 00:25:34.670
because we're gonna acknowledge, we are part of the problem,

502
00:25:34.670 --> 00:25:35.670
but guess what?

503
00:25:35.670 --> 00:25:37.660
We're also part of the solution.

504
00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:39.160
And so this ʻolelo noʻeau.

505
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.150
The land is the chief, the people are the servants.

506
00:25:45.150 --> 00:25:48.070
So we take the lead from, we observe the land,

507
00:25:48.070 --> 00:25:50.120
we observe our resources.

508
00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:51.930
They kind of show us what is happening.

509
00:25:51.930 --> 00:25:53.410
And we gotta adapt to that

510
00:25:53.410 --> 00:25:55.444
and figure out this is the best way to utilize that.

511
00:25:55.444 --> 00:25:59.860
So us managing includes us as part of that ecosystem

512
00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:02.080
and it's that holistic approach to management.

513
00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:05.631
So these are things that we're trying to apply

514
00:26:05.631 --> 00:26:08.340
as we're moving forward and paddling Holomua.

515
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:13.060
A lot of people think, "You know what?

516
00:26:13.060 --> 00:26:16.350
Community and culture how has that been incorporated

517
00:26:16.350 --> 00:26:18.290
into Holomua?"

518
00:26:18.290 --> 00:26:21.420
And so I wanted to share a couple of things.

519
00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:26.120
So the first one is socio-culture indicators.

520
00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:28.790
Guiding principles and indicators that we've created.

521
00:26:28.790 --> 00:26:31.810
So we partnered and collaborated with culture practitioners,

522
00:26:31.810 --> 00:26:35.140
fishers, communities, resource users

523
00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:39.040
to come up with like, "What are the social

524
00:26:39.040 --> 00:26:41.560
and cultural ways that we can evaluate"

525
00:26:41.560 --> 00:26:44.460
So DAR usually in the past

526
00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:46.900
has been evaluating using biological assessments

527
00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:49.110
such as percent coral cover,

528
00:26:49.110 --> 00:26:51.600
fish biomass and diversity.

529
00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:54.670
But now we want to include these socio-cultural aspects

530
00:26:54.670 --> 00:26:55.573
and perspectives.

531
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.310
And so as we work with these communities

532
00:27:00.310 --> 00:27:02.277
and folks is like asking the question of like,

533
00:27:02.277 --> 00:27:04.550
"Hey, this area was created

534
00:27:04.550 --> 00:27:06.880
as a community based subsistence fishing area.

535
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.715
Are you able to practice your culture?"

536
00:27:08.715 --> 00:27:11.557
When the uncle goes out fishing, we can ask them questions,

537
00:27:11.557 --> 00:27:13.200
"Did you take someone with you?

538
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.780
Did you take keiki with you?"

539
00:27:14.780 --> 00:27:16.127
'Cause then we can show like,

540
00:27:16.127 --> 00:27:18.470
"Oh, this keiki is learning from this uncle."

541
00:27:18.470 --> 00:27:21.680
That's generation of knowledge that is being passed on.

542
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.470
And then even like the catch,

543
00:27:23.470 --> 00:27:24.353
when you're catching your iʻa

544
00:27:24.353 --> 00:27:25.900
when you're catching your fish,

545
00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:27.480
are you feeding your family?

546
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:29.260
Are you sharing with your neighbors?

547
00:27:29.260 --> 00:27:30.830
Are you using it for hoʻokupu."

548
00:27:30.830 --> 00:27:32.920
That's an offering during a ceremony.

549
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:35.660
Are you using it as makana or like a gift

550
00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:38.011
for another family outside of your neighborhood?"

551
00:27:38.011 --> 00:27:42.060
And so understanding these perspectives

552
00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:44.837
of management helps DAR to better understand like,

553
00:27:44.837 --> 00:27:47.570
"Hey, this is what the resources is doing,

554
00:27:47.570 --> 00:27:50.030
but here's how it's benefiting the people."

555
00:27:50.030 --> 00:27:52.060
So again, bringing the people back

556
00:27:52.060 --> 00:27:53.840
into this ecosystem management.

557
00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:54.890
We're part of it.

558
00:27:54.890 --> 00:27:56.563
We can be the solution as well.

559
00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:59.680
Community-based monitoring,

560
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.140
so this is helping me to fill pukas

561
00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:04.650
or holes in DAR's dataset.

562
00:28:04.650 --> 00:28:06.646
So we look at haʻena for example.

563
00:28:06.646 --> 00:28:10.020
They proposed the rule for heʻe or octopus.

564
00:28:10.020 --> 00:28:11.530
And the rule is that you can only catch them

565
00:28:11.530 --> 00:28:13.530
with your hand or with a stick, and guess what?

566
00:28:13.530 --> 00:28:16.840
So DAR doesn't monitor octopus.

567
00:28:16.840 --> 00:28:18.680
And so collaborating with the community

568
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.240
whom malamas and monitors this resource will

569
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:24.530
give DAR a better picture with the status of the resource.

570
00:28:24.530 --> 00:28:26.677
And the idea is not for DAR to claim like,

571
00:28:26.677 --> 00:28:27.760
"Oh, this is our data."

572
00:28:27.760 --> 00:28:30.150
But more to acknowledge the community

573
00:28:30.150 --> 00:28:31.690
and to incorporate their protocols

574
00:28:31.690 --> 00:28:33.120
and data into the management.

575
00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:34.767
So when we're making these decisions, we can say,

576
00:28:34.767 --> 00:28:37.200
"Hey, this is what the community is seeing

577
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:38.670
and we can utilize that data."

578
00:28:38.670 --> 00:28:40.330
To say like, "Yo, you know what?

579
00:28:40.330 --> 00:28:41.967
Octopus is doing Okay."

580
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.680
We have Makai Watch.

581
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.380
So this is like a neighborhood watch for the ocean.

582
00:28:48.380 --> 00:28:51.570
And it's empowering communities to be those eyes

583
00:28:51.570 --> 00:28:52.430
and ears out there.

584
00:28:52.430 --> 00:28:55.540
Not to give them a badge or anything,

585
00:28:55.540 --> 00:28:57.407
but more to like provide them with,

586
00:28:57.407 --> 00:28:59.330
"This is the training so that you know what the rules

587
00:28:59.330 --> 00:29:00.510
and regulations are."

588
00:29:00.510 --> 00:29:03.680
And the data and information that would be needed

589
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.560
for DOCARE officer to either write a citation

590
00:29:06.560 --> 00:29:08.920
or give a report, give a warning

591
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:10.613
or take the case to court.

592
00:29:11.536 --> 00:29:13.130
So training communities to have

593
00:29:13.130 --> 00:29:15.183
that, kind of empowers them.

594
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.800
And then funding.

595
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:22.800
So one thing about our team is that we have funding

596
00:29:23.330 --> 00:29:24.190
in our canoe.

597
00:29:24.190 --> 00:29:25.618
So Jocelyn is that funding piece

598
00:29:25.618 --> 00:29:28.610
works with funding contracts,

599
00:29:28.610 --> 00:29:31.030
but having that is a way of making sure

600
00:29:31.030 --> 00:29:32.660
that Holomua is gonna continue,

601
00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:34.530
it's gonna be sustainable.

602
00:29:34.530 --> 00:29:36.850
So that's one piece, but the other pieces is like

603
00:29:36.850 --> 00:29:39.430
as we're seeking these funds,

604
00:29:39.430 --> 00:29:41.180
we've got to do it smart strategically.

605
00:29:41.180 --> 00:29:44.690
So here's an example of us trying to figure this out.

606
00:29:44.690 --> 00:29:46.490
So we had been in a proposal

607
00:29:46.490 --> 00:29:48.157
with the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation being like,

608
00:29:48.157 --> 00:29:49.210
"Yeah, we're thinking

609
00:29:49.210 --> 00:29:52.670
of supporting community-based monitoring."

610
00:29:52.670 --> 00:29:54.350
And they're like, "Well."

611
00:29:54.350 --> 00:29:55.877
And after some thought we're just saying,

612
00:29:55.877 --> 00:29:59.320
"Maybe this isn't the right place for DAR to seek funds."

613
00:29:59.320 --> 00:30:01.320
It's the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation.

614
00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:03.210
This money should be for the communities.

615
00:30:03.210 --> 00:30:04.807
So we let that go and said,

616
00:30:04.807 --> 00:30:07.517
"Yeah, let's make this pot of money for the communities

617
00:30:07.517 --> 00:30:09.930
and the NGOs that support those communities."

618
00:30:09.930 --> 00:30:11.390
But DAR partnered with Office

619
00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:13.240
of Planning and the Coastal Zone Management

620
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.960
to submit a proposal and we got funding.

621
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.250
So now you have the community able

622
00:30:18.250 --> 00:30:20.370
to provide the collector data

623
00:30:20.370 --> 00:30:24.810
and you have DAR able to have a coordinator here,

624
00:30:24.810 --> 00:30:27.120
so that once this data comes into DAR,

625
00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:30.450
we can then move it and coordinate it, analyze it.

626
00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:32.850
And that's another lesson learned.

627
00:30:32.850 --> 00:30:34.450
Even though you had these programs,

628
00:30:34.450 --> 00:30:38.230
if you don't have a person, a body in there,

629
00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:40.120
the work isn't really gonna get done.

630
00:30:40.120 --> 00:30:41.810
It's gotta fall into somebody else's pay,

631
00:30:41.810 --> 00:30:43.240
somebody's got to take a piece of it.

632
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.570
So making sure that we have a community-based coordinator

633
00:30:46.570 --> 00:30:48.970
in DAR is gonna benefit the community

634
00:30:48.970 --> 00:30:50.703
so that data can be utilized.

635
00:30:54.540 --> 00:30:57.285
And then my last slide about what Holomua is.

636
00:30:57.285 --> 00:30:58.255
Many of you guys think,

637
00:30:58.255 --> 00:31:00.830
"All right, I think Luna typed it up backwards."

638
00:31:00.830 --> 00:31:02.910
Goal is at the bottom, process is in the middle,

639
00:31:02.910 --> 00:31:04.440
and relationships is at the top.

640
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.530
Most of you guys are usually like goal, process

641
00:31:07.530 --> 00:31:09.980
and then the relationships at the bottom.

642
00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:13.160
So this is kind of the difference with Holomua.

643
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:18.160
The goal is to get 30 by 30% effectively managed by 2030,

644
00:31:18.860 --> 00:31:22.100
but the priority is the relationships.

645
00:31:22.100 --> 00:31:24.770
And the reason why the relationships is so important,

646
00:31:24.770 --> 00:31:26.160
especially living on an island is

647
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.870
because once those relationships are built,

648
00:31:28.870 --> 00:31:30.990
once the distrust is taken care of

649
00:31:30.990 --> 00:31:33.110
and that we are together,

650
00:31:33.110 --> 00:31:36.510
you can put any process in front of us

651
00:31:36.510 --> 00:31:39.730
and we can get through that process to accomplish any goal.

652
00:31:39.730 --> 00:31:42.080
But if that relationship isn't set,

653
00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:45.100
it's gonna be really hard, or really hard process,

654
00:31:45.100 --> 00:31:47.020
a rocky process.

655
00:31:47.020 --> 00:31:49.500
And we may not always reach that goal.

656
00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:54.500
And so that's why as we paddle Holomua, we're seeing 2030,

657
00:31:54.810 --> 00:31:56.933
but if we don't reach there the main thing is

658
00:31:56.933 --> 00:31:58.610
that we have these relationships

659
00:31:58.610 --> 00:32:00.720
because I don't plan on going anywhere.

660
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.610
This is my home.

661
00:32:01.610 --> 00:32:03.830
So I hope for however long I'm here,

662
00:32:03.830 --> 00:32:06.020
that I'm gonna be paddling in this canoe.

663
00:32:06.020 --> 00:32:08.350
And we're gonna get through these processes and goals,

664
00:32:08.350 --> 00:32:09.663
but we're gonna have the right relationships

665
00:32:09.663 --> 00:32:11.513
so that we can move this forward.

666
00:32:14.910 --> 00:32:16.883
Okay. Time for our next poll.

667
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:21.450
<v Malia>Alrighty. So I'm gonna launch this poll.</v>

668
00:32:21.450 --> 00:32:24.180
So friends, what does Holomua mean?

669
00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:29.180
Your choices, to stand up for, to leave behind, to progress.

670
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:31.450
who was paying attention?

671
00:32:31.450 --> 00:32:34.480
Let's see, we've got about 30% voting.

672
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:38.020
Let's try and get it up there to 75%.

673
00:32:38.020 --> 00:32:42.639
You guys are doing great, keep on voting.

674
00:32:42.639 --> 00:32:45.480
Holomua, all right.

675
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:46.990
So I'm gonna close it out.

676
00:32:46.990 --> 00:32:51.990
We're almost at 70% and three, two and one,

677
00:32:54.230 --> 00:32:56.723
and let's get you those results Luna.

678
00:32:58.640 --> 00:32:59.510
All right.

679
00:32:59.510 --> 00:33:04.160
So to stand up for 15%, to leave behind 1%,

680
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.330
to progress 84%.

681
00:33:06.330 --> 00:33:08.383
How did our audience members do?

682
00:33:10.177 --> 00:33:14.900
<v ->Maikaʻi, Nice.</v>

683
00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:17.183
So the right answer was to progress.

684
00:33:18.192 --> 00:33:19.883
So mahalo for that.

685
00:33:19.883 --> 00:33:21.700
And we actually have one more.

686
00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:24.763
So what does MMA stand for?

687
00:33:27.260 --> 00:33:30.590
<v Malia>Okay. So let me pull that one up.</v>

688
00:33:30.590 --> 00:33:35.590
And you folks are ready to go ahead and log in your answer.

689
00:33:37.090 --> 00:33:40.400
MMA, is it a Maritime Monument Area,

690
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:45.040
a Marine Management Area, a Mixed Marine Area?

691
00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:48.310
So go ahead and register your vote.

692
00:33:48.310 --> 00:33:50.280
Oh, you guys are fast.

693
00:33:50.280 --> 00:33:51.113
All right.

694
00:33:51.113 --> 00:33:53.070
We've got about 75% of you have voted

695
00:33:53.070 --> 00:33:58.070
and I'm gonna close it up in three, two, one

696
00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:01.053
and let's get those results.

697
00:34:02.060 --> 00:34:06.230
So Luna, a 2% maritime monument area,

698
00:34:06.230 --> 00:34:11.230
97% Marine Management Area and 1% mixed marine area.

699
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.960
So what's the correct answer?

700
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.330
<v ->It's Marine Management Area, so 97% all.</v>

701
00:34:18.330 --> 00:34:20.140
Good job, so people are listening.

702
00:34:20.140 --> 00:34:23.530
(Malia laughs)

703
00:34:23.530 --> 00:34:24.953
Okay. Thank you for that.

704
00:34:28.578 --> 00:34:33.450
And so we got the when, the who, the what, the where,

705
00:34:33.450 --> 00:34:35.030
and now we're going to the why, right?

706
00:34:35.030 --> 00:34:37.260
Why is Holomua important?

707
00:34:37.260 --> 00:34:41.630
So if you eat fish, if you go to the beach,

708
00:34:41.630 --> 00:34:45.400
if you live near the ocean, if you live on an island,

709
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.520
we're all connected to our national marine resources, right?

710
00:34:48.520 --> 00:34:51.597
If you look at the value of them like coral reefs,

711
00:34:51.597 --> 00:34:53.530
$360 million per year.

712
00:34:53.530 --> 00:34:55.300
The nearshore fisheries are estimated

713
00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:57.970
at 10 to $16 million per year.

714
00:34:57.970 --> 00:35:01.430
Local food production, seven million meals per year.

715
00:35:01.430 --> 00:35:02.820
And this is one thing I wanna highlight.

716
00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:05.220
So if you participated in

717
00:35:05.220 --> 00:35:07.666
an herbivore scoping back in December.

718
00:35:07.666 --> 00:35:10.010
That's one of the things that we wanted to make sure

719
00:35:10.010 --> 00:35:14.380
that we emphasize that, our herbivore strategy is

720
00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:17.430
to make sure that there's enough fish to fish

721
00:35:17.430 --> 00:35:19.060
and that there's enough fish

722
00:35:19.060 --> 00:35:21.827
to malama their cultural ecosystem services.

723
00:35:21.827 --> 00:35:23.270
What they do out there.

724
00:35:23.270 --> 00:35:25.240
So we wanna make sure that there's enough fish to fish

725
00:35:25.240 --> 00:35:26.570
that people can eat,

726
00:35:26.570 --> 00:35:27.990
but also that these fish are able

727
00:35:27.990 --> 00:35:29.440
to do their job in the ocean.

728
00:35:30.570 --> 00:35:31.450
And the last reason...

729
00:35:31.450 --> 00:35:33.775
Well, not the last, but another reason,

730
00:35:33.775 --> 00:35:36.240
the shoreline protection is valued

731
00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:38.360
at $835 million per year.

732
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:41.950
So this is mega bucks over here that it's valued

733
00:35:41.950 --> 00:35:45.193
in millions of dollars, lots of meals, food.

734
00:35:47.120 --> 00:35:48.880
And then you also have threats.

735
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:50.260
What is threatening us?

736
00:35:50.260 --> 00:35:53.230
So over fishing, we have coral bleaching,

737
00:35:53.230 --> 00:35:54.610
we have invasive species,

738
00:35:54.610 --> 00:35:56.623
we have land-based source pollution, runoff.

739
00:35:56.623 --> 00:35:58.553
And so all these different threats

740
00:35:58.553 --> 00:36:00.880
they're currently happening.

741
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.660
We see this with our own eyes.

742
00:36:02.660 --> 00:36:04.560
So how do we do this?

743
00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:07.430
So we got the who, what, when, where and why,

744
00:36:07.430 --> 00:36:09.280
and now we're gonna jump into the

745
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.260
how are we gonna do?

746
00:36:10.260 --> 00:36:11.753
How is Holomua gonna work?

747
00:36:15.010 --> 00:36:18.350
Okay. And so like all mele, some mele

748
00:36:19.560 --> 00:36:23.120
the Holomua: Marine 30x30 mele has a second verse

749
00:36:23.120 --> 00:36:26.180
where we talk about this specific piece,

750
00:36:26.180 --> 00:36:27.147
how are we gonna get it done?

751
00:36:27.147 --> 00:36:30.313
And so second verse goes,

752
00:36:31.501 --> 00:36:35.501
♪ We got four pillars versus case based management ♪

753
00:36:35.501 --> 00:36:39.261
♪ Relationships collaborating with the government ♪

754
00:36:39.261 --> 00:36:43.018
♪ Pono practices, education, compliance ♪

755
00:36:43.018 --> 00:36:46.665
♪ Balancing with values and using the best science ♪

756
00:36:46.665 --> 00:36:50.665
♪ Learning from monitoring including community ♪

757
00:36:50.665 --> 00:36:52.577
♪ Because we all know DLNR ♪

758
00:36:52.577 --> 00:36:54.250
♪ Is lacking capacity ♪

759
00:36:54.250 --> 00:36:58.091
♪ Protection, and restoration is our way to give back. ♪

760
00:36:58.091 --> 00:37:02.730
♪ Mahalo nui loa appreciate the things liʻdat. ♪

761
00:37:02.730 --> 00:37:05.232
So we have four pillars based

762
00:37:05.232 --> 00:37:09.260
on the place-based planning, Pono Practices,

763
00:37:09.260 --> 00:37:11.340
monitoring, protection and restoration.

764
00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:14.123
And so we're gonna dive deeper into each of these.

765
00:37:15.610 --> 00:37:19.673
So place-based planning has to do with.

766
00:37:21.240 --> 00:37:24.360
We're looking at each island as this network

767
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:27.860
where 30% of that island is gonna be established

768
00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:29.250
as Marine Management Areas.

769
00:37:29.250 --> 00:37:31.690
And we're gonna work with that island

770
00:37:31.690 --> 00:37:33.150
to figure out where that works.

771
00:37:33.150 --> 00:37:35.690
We'll get a group together. This is our idea.

772
00:37:35.690 --> 00:37:38.883
And working with our DLNR, our DAR team on island.

773
00:37:38.883 --> 00:37:41.620
And these stakeholders from there.

774
00:37:41.620 --> 00:37:42.880
We'll create these maps like

775
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.393
where these areas would best fit.

776
00:37:47.080 --> 00:37:48.290
Each place is unique

777
00:37:48.290 --> 00:37:50.380
and we'll have different management goals

778
00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:52.910
and objectives to accommodate the differences

779
00:37:52.910 --> 00:37:56.330
in their resources, the communities and the stakeholders.

780
00:37:56.330 --> 00:37:58.539
What does effective management

781
00:37:58.539 --> 00:37:59.372
for one place might differ

782
00:37:59.372 --> 00:38:00.730
for another place or community?

783
00:38:00.730 --> 00:38:05.730
So being able to have different areas, prioritize

784
00:38:07.986 --> 00:38:09.040
what is their priority? What is their ono?

785
00:38:09.040 --> 00:38:10.658
What is their target that they're always trying

786
00:38:10.658 --> 00:38:12.708
to make sure that there's (indistinct)?

787
00:38:12.708 --> 00:38:16.410
(computer beeping)

788
00:38:16.410 --> 00:38:20.300
So this is a map of our current Marine Management Areas.

789
00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:23.650
We currently have 58 areas,

790
00:38:23.650 --> 00:38:25.970
but only one of them has a management plan.

791
00:38:25.970 --> 00:38:29.149
And that is our Haʻena Community-based Subsistence Fishing Area.

792
00:38:29.149 --> 00:38:32.720
And so our team is working on drafting management plans

793
00:38:32.720 --> 00:38:34.980
for our current Marine Management Areas,

794
00:38:34.980 --> 00:38:38.173
and then evaluating the effectiveness with our island staff.

795
00:38:39.180 --> 00:38:44.103
So this is where we're at now, and we hope to get to 30%.

796
00:38:45.450 --> 00:38:47.970
And maybe I'll touch on this,

797
00:38:47.970 --> 00:38:52.120
the way we're looking at what effectively managed is.

798
00:38:52.120 --> 00:38:54.660
So we're seeing that DAR is in that

799
00:38:54.660 --> 00:38:56.750
as having these management plans

800
00:38:56.750 --> 00:38:58.960
that highlight what the goals and objectives are.

801
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:02.037
So that when we come back to evaluate we say,

802
00:39:02.037 --> 00:39:05.447
"Hey, it's Haʻena meeting their goals and objectives?"

803
00:39:05.447 --> 00:39:07.350
"Oh, yep. They're meeting this one and this one,

804
00:39:07.350 --> 00:39:08.610
but the third one not."

805
00:39:08.610 --> 00:39:09.607
And we can figure out like,

806
00:39:09.607 --> 00:39:11.160
"Well, why aren't we meeting that?"

807
00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:13.890
Is it because we need more outreach education.

808
00:39:13.890 --> 00:39:16.290
Do we need more enforcement? Do we need signage?

809
00:39:16.290 --> 00:39:17.620
What is the need there?

810
00:39:17.620 --> 00:39:19.460
And we can start to address that.

811
00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:21.680
But until we have a management plan to kind of lay out

812
00:39:21.680 --> 00:39:23.800
what the path is and what it's supposed to be,

813
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:25.690
we have nothing to evaluate it on.

814
00:39:25.690 --> 00:39:26.523
We only have like,

815
00:39:26.523 --> 00:39:28.260
"Oh yeah, we think it's working."

816
00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:29.427
But now we have a way to say,

817
00:39:29.427 --> 00:39:31.160
"Yes, here's the management time

818
00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:33.000
with the goals and objectives outlined.

819
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.320
And we're meeting two out of the three goals.

820
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:37.280
And we have a chance how are we gonna accomplish

821
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:38.167
that third one."

822
00:39:39.083 --> 00:39:40.850
And so just to drop that with you guys

823
00:39:40.850 --> 00:39:42.730
so you kind of know how we're thinking

824
00:39:42.730 --> 00:39:44.233
of effectively management.

825
00:39:48.830 --> 00:39:51.203
Oh, that was it. Sorry.

826
00:39:52.990 --> 00:39:55.880
So Pono Practices is our second pillar.

827
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:58.980
And this is a call to action for research users

828
00:39:58.980 --> 00:40:02.420
to interact with near shore resources in a Pono way.

829
00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:04.690
So to behave responsibly.

830
00:40:04.690 --> 00:40:07.620
And like we said place-based planning 30%.

831
00:40:07.620 --> 00:40:11.311
So Pono Practices covers the other 70%.

832
00:40:11.311 --> 00:40:13.350
Everybody's like, "What about the other 70%?"

833
00:40:13.350 --> 00:40:15.380
Well, this is where it falls into, right?

834
00:40:15.380 --> 00:40:17.010
So education outreach making sure

835
00:40:17.010 --> 00:40:18.230
that we're providing...

836
00:40:19.300 --> 00:40:21.670
Like DAR's education outreach staff goes out

837
00:40:21.670 --> 00:40:24.800
to different functions and various events.

838
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.200
And they're providing this education and outreach.

839
00:40:27.200 --> 00:40:29.290
And that increases the compliance

840
00:40:29.290 --> 00:40:30.650
where additional regulations

841
00:40:30.650 --> 00:40:32.500
or enforcement may not be needed.

842
00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:34.800
Most people will and want to follow the rules.

843
00:40:38.490 --> 00:40:40.640
DOCAREʻs Mauka Makai Watch program as I mentioned earlier,

844
00:40:40.640 --> 00:40:43.080
so they train communities to be the eyes and ears,

845
00:40:43.080 --> 00:40:44.300
the boots on the ground looking out

846
00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:47.400
for inappropriate uses of marine resources.

847
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:49.940
And that's helping to strengthen the enforcement.

848
00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:53.310
Another way that enforcement is improving

849
00:40:53.310 --> 00:40:58.310
is they graduated two classes so far,

850
00:40:59.690 --> 00:41:01.430
but the second class that they graduated

851
00:41:01.430 --> 00:41:03.030
from their DOCARE academy

852
00:41:03.030 --> 00:41:06.840
was just local everyday people like me and you.

853
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:10.510
Fishers, hunters, but what they were passionate

854
00:41:10.510 --> 00:41:12.010
about is the resources.

855
00:41:12.010 --> 00:41:16.650
And so DOCARE was looking for individuals

856
00:41:16.650 --> 00:41:17.920
who are the fishers and hunters,

857
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:19.015
who were the resource users.

858
00:41:19.015 --> 00:41:21.400
Because it's a different mindset when you're going out

859
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:22.250
and engagement folks.

860
00:41:22.250 --> 00:41:25.370
You're looking at like, "Oh, yo, that fish is fine.

861
00:41:25.370 --> 00:41:26.900
What is this person doing?"

862
00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:29.840
It just kind of grounds into what is happening

863
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:31.080
and puts them into that realm

864
00:41:31.080 --> 00:41:32.930
of like these are resources

865
00:41:32.930 --> 00:41:34.640
and they are resource users themselves,

866
00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:36.440
so they have a better understanding.

867
00:41:38.610 --> 00:41:41.190
The new regulations that we are proposing.

868
00:41:41.190 --> 00:41:42.657
We're working with DOCARE to make sure like,

869
00:41:42.657 --> 00:41:44.594
"Hey, if we propose this, is this enforceable

870
00:41:44.594 --> 00:41:46.760
or do we have to change the language?"

871
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:48.900
Making sure that when DOCARE is out there

872
00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:51.560
that they're able to enforce on it

873
00:41:51.560 --> 00:41:52.990
or be like, "Oh no, no, no.

874
00:41:52.990 --> 00:41:54.260
We need this language in there.

875
00:41:54.260 --> 00:41:55.610
We gotta have this set up in order

876
00:41:55.610 --> 00:41:56.827
to enforce properly."

877
00:42:00.770 --> 00:42:03.110
So monitoring provides a snapshot

878
00:42:03.110 --> 00:42:04.440
and a baseline of each area

879
00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:05.930
and tracks how the resources changed

880
00:42:05.930 --> 00:42:08.193
with management actions over time.

881
00:42:09.876 --> 00:42:12.220
It allows us to evaluate the conditions of resources

882
00:42:12.220 --> 00:42:14.860
and evaluate our management strategies in terms

883
00:42:14.860 --> 00:42:17.327
of what's working and what's not working,

884
00:42:17.327 --> 00:42:18.953
and then adapt accordingly.

885
00:42:20.322 --> 00:42:21.850
We have different kinds of surveys.

886
00:42:21.850 --> 00:42:24.840
So we have biological surveys

887
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:27.300
like fish and benthic surveys.

888
00:42:27.300 --> 00:42:30.210
We have the Hawaiʻi Marine Recreational Fishing Surveys

889
00:42:30.210 --> 00:42:32.330
where they go out to different sites

890
00:42:32.330 --> 00:42:34.750
and interview fishers to kind of find out

891
00:42:34.750 --> 00:42:38.020
what they're catching, how long they were out there for?

892
00:42:38.020 --> 00:42:41.330
We have community-based monitoring, which I shared earlier.

893
00:42:41.330 --> 00:42:43.660
Western and traditional ecological knowledge.

894
00:42:43.660 --> 00:42:45.030
And then enforcement data.

895
00:42:45.030 --> 00:42:49.730
And so the task of Holomua is

896
00:42:49.730 --> 00:42:53.120
to create a standardized statewide monitoring plan.

897
00:42:53.120 --> 00:42:55.610
Comprised of all these different monitoring types

898
00:42:55.610 --> 00:42:58.673
to support adaptive management of Marine managed areas.

899
00:43:02.300 --> 00:43:05.470
Like I mentioned Holomua is gonna be informed

900
00:43:05.470 --> 00:43:07.090
by different varieties of monitoring.

901
00:43:07.090 --> 00:43:09.690
And so this is different community-based monitoring.

902
00:43:10.930 --> 00:43:13.040
Going and catching fish, opening them up to see

903
00:43:13.040 --> 00:43:14.240
when they're spawning.

904
00:43:14.240 --> 00:43:16.930
Going in and looking at ʻopihi and doing ʻopihi counts.

905
00:43:16.930 --> 00:43:18.840
We have limu practitioners out there

906
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:20.560
who are gathering data on limu, right.

907
00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:23.750
So incorporating all of these into Holomua,

908
00:43:24.850 --> 00:43:27.660
and then utilizing that data to make decisions

909
00:43:27.660 --> 00:43:28.733
for their areas.

910
00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:33.700
And then this slide.

911
00:43:33.700 --> 00:43:38.700
So this slide is about enforcement data.

912
00:43:40.160 --> 00:43:42.630
So monitoring enforcement data helps to gain insights

913
00:43:42.630 --> 00:43:46.330
on hotspots of illegal activity, problematic gear,

914
00:43:46.330 --> 00:43:49.380
and can help inform management plans.

915
00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:51.670
And so this map is of the DLNR Tip app.

916
00:43:51.670 --> 00:43:53.500
So for those of you who went on your phone

917
00:43:53.500 --> 00:43:55.380
and downloaded the DLNR Tip app,

918
00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:57.450
this is the result of that.

919
00:43:57.450 --> 00:44:00.413
So we're looking at Maui, Molokaʻi, Lanaʻi, Kahoʻolawe.

920
00:44:02.410 --> 00:44:05.030
So if you do put on DLNR Tip apps

921
00:44:05.030 --> 00:44:07.010
and you're submitting things

922
00:44:07.010 --> 00:44:08.200
and you don't get a response,

923
00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:10.750
don't think that it's just ending up in some file,

924
00:44:10.750 --> 00:44:13.030
that data is being analyzed to show

925
00:44:13.030 --> 00:44:16.374
where the hotspots are on the islands.

926
00:44:16.374 --> 00:44:19.030
And so if you didn't already,

927
00:44:19.030 --> 00:44:21.250
go ahead and download the DLNR Tip app

928
00:44:21.250 --> 00:44:23.480
and start logging in your observations

929
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:28.083
of any enforcement infractions or illegal activity.

930
00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:35.730
Okay. And then the final pillar is the protection

931
00:44:35.730 --> 00:44:36.750
and restoration.

932
00:44:36.750 --> 00:44:37.583
And I always say like,

933
00:44:37.583 --> 00:44:40.690
"This is our way to give back to fishers, to communities."

934
00:44:40.690 --> 00:44:43.320
So protection is preventing further degradation

935
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:47.310
of nearshore ecosystems by eliminating those threats.

936
00:44:47.310 --> 00:44:49.920
Restoration is rebuilding of the resources

937
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:53.520
to improve nearshore habitats toward healthier conditions

938
00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:54.823
to speed up recovery.

939
00:44:56.530 --> 00:44:58.390
Local threats including invasive species,

940
00:44:58.390 --> 00:45:01.350
physical damage or destruction of reefs.

941
00:45:01.350 --> 00:45:04.107
We have the DARʻs aquatic invasive species teams

942
00:45:04.107 --> 00:45:06.960
that works to manage invasive species.

943
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:09.540
One of the biggest aquatic invasive species efforts

944
00:45:09.540 --> 00:45:12.333
by DAR is remove of invasive algae,

945
00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:17.196
which is we had a super sucker before,

946
00:45:17.196 --> 00:45:21.890
but the AIS team removes invasive algae

947
00:45:21.890 --> 00:45:25.420
and grows native collector urchins

948
00:45:25.420 --> 00:45:26.730
to out run the reese.

949
00:45:26.730 --> 00:45:29.717
So it's a natural way for us to grow the wana

950
00:45:31.520 --> 00:45:32.700
and put them out on the reefs

951
00:45:32.700 --> 00:45:34.550
that they can do their job out there.

952
00:45:37.100 --> 00:45:39.720
And so these are just a couple of ways that protection

953
00:45:39.720 --> 00:45:42.460
and restoration is being looked at.

954
00:45:42.460 --> 00:45:44.240
And those are the four pillars of the that's

955
00:45:44.240 --> 00:45:49.240
how we plan to effectively manage the nearshore area.

956
00:45:49.260 --> 00:45:51.970
This is gonna be our management plan

957
00:45:51.970 --> 00:45:56.970
for the future of DAR until we learn something new

958
00:45:57.170 --> 00:45:59.497
or we take a different path and say like,

959
00:45:59.497 --> 00:46:00.640
"Hey, this is where we're headed,

960
00:46:00.640 --> 00:46:03.320
but for now Holomua: Marine 30x30

961
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:05.167
is our nearshore management plan."

962
00:46:08.470 --> 00:46:11.950
So what's next? Where are we headed?

963
00:46:11.950 --> 00:46:15.540
So we have Community-based Subsistence Fishing Areas,

964
00:46:15.540 --> 00:46:16.840
which are part of Holomua.

965
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:19.550
They're part of that 30% of area planning.

966
00:46:19.550 --> 00:46:23.743
So we have Miloliʻi on Hawaiʻi island and we have Kipahulu.

967
00:46:23.743 --> 00:46:27.245
Miloliʻi just conducted their statewide scoping in December.

968
00:46:27.245 --> 00:46:31.210
They're proposing a managed area looking

969
00:46:31.210 --> 00:46:33.500
at managing gear and species regulations

970
00:46:33.500 --> 00:46:38.500
for resources like opelu, pakukui, ʻopihi, uhu, aʻama crabs.

971
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:41.500
And you can get more information

972
00:46:41.500 --> 00:46:43.250
on their kalanihale.com website.

973
00:46:44.520 --> 00:46:47.600
As for Kipahulu, Kipahulu has been working

974
00:46:47.600 --> 00:46:50.745
with DAR Maui on their CBSFA specific proposal.

975
00:46:50.745 --> 00:46:55.380
They are also proposing managed areas, gear regulations

976
00:46:55.380 --> 00:46:57.690
with like throw net and the number of poles you're allowed

977
00:46:57.690 --> 00:47:00.250
to have as well as species regulations

978
00:47:00.250 --> 00:47:04.030
for resources like akule, moe, and ʻopihi.

979
00:47:04.030 --> 00:47:05.530
And so you can look them up

980
00:47:05.530 --> 00:47:08.283
on their kipahulu.org website as well.

981
00:47:09.810 --> 00:47:13.610
We are also working with fishers from the Maunalua area,

982
00:47:13.610 --> 00:47:16.033
and their proposed fisheries management area.

983
00:47:17.950 --> 00:47:22.720
As I mentioned one or two times in this story.

984
00:47:22.720 --> 00:47:24.323
So the Herbivore Initiative,

985
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.183
DAR just finished scoping the statewide

986
00:47:32.160 --> 00:47:36.400
herbivore rule package that we're gonna move forward

987
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:37.270
to the BLNR.

988
00:47:37.270 --> 00:47:40.810
And so we had proposed looking at kala,

989
00:47:40.810 --> 00:47:43.793
looking at having a size limit and a bag limits.

990
00:47:44.710 --> 00:47:48.290
We had talked about uhu like taking what Maui

991
00:47:48.290 --> 00:47:52.266
has for their uhu rules and making that a statewide rule.

992
00:47:52.266 --> 00:47:54.760
We also looked with manini and kole

993
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:58.230
and got feedback with those and minimum sizes.

994
00:47:58.230 --> 00:48:01.060
And so moving forward

995
00:48:01.060 --> 00:48:03.460
like we mentioned the Herbivore Initiative is part

996
00:48:03.460 --> 00:48:04.550
of our Pono Practices.

997
00:48:04.550 --> 00:48:07.980
It's a statewide initiative to move forward a rule package.

998
00:48:07.980 --> 00:48:10.518
And this is gonna fill in all those pukas

999
00:48:10.518 --> 00:48:13.763
that are in between the 30% raise the other 70%.

1000
00:48:16.160 --> 00:48:19.140
The community-based monitoring hui, right, so monitoring.

1001
00:48:19.140 --> 00:48:22.210
So we're hiring a coordinator, we got the funding.

1002
00:48:22.210 --> 00:48:25.100
So we're gonna start to hire and look for a coordinator

1003
00:48:25.100 --> 00:48:28.210
within DAR so that we can have somebody in DAR

1004
00:48:28.210 --> 00:48:30.220
that can take that information,

1005
00:48:30.220 --> 00:48:32.010
take that data and help coordinate.

1006
00:48:32.010 --> 00:48:34.930
I think get DAR on the same page and make sure

1007
00:48:34.930 --> 00:48:37.180
that we are engaging with the community as well.

1008
00:48:37.180 --> 00:48:41.433
So being that liaison between the communities and DAR.

1009
00:48:42.906 --> 00:48:44.830
On the socio-cultural indicators.

1010
00:48:44.830 --> 00:48:46.360
So we have them developed.

1011
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:48.810
The next step is they do the work like

1012
00:48:48.810 --> 00:48:49.690
what did it look like?

1013
00:48:49.690 --> 00:48:51.150
So we got to go out and pilot,

1014
00:48:51.150 --> 00:48:53.800
what is the feasibility of these indicators?

1015
00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:56.320
And whether it's through a survey, an interview,

1016
00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:59.970
a talk story like jumping on the boat with the uncle.

1017
00:48:59.970 --> 00:49:01.400
What does this look like for us

1018
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.633
to measure how these areas are doing

1019
00:49:04.633 --> 00:49:06.743
from the social and cultural perspective?

1020
00:49:07.750 --> 00:49:08.720
And then like I mentioned,

1021
00:49:08.720 --> 00:49:11.910
where we wanna go to each island

1022
00:49:11.910 --> 00:49:14.760
and figure out like, "What is your 30% network look like?"

1023
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:18.320
And so coming up with a community engagement process.

1024
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:21.430
So we have contracted a facilitator,

1025
00:49:21.430 --> 00:49:24.250
a communications team and an evaluation team.

1026
00:49:24.250 --> 00:49:26.360
And so these three pieces along

1027
00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:28.080
with Holomua are gonna help

1028
00:49:28.080 --> 00:49:30.090
to create this community engagement process

1029
00:49:30.090 --> 00:49:32.320
'cause we want people to be a part of this process.

1030
00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:33.690
We want to hear their manaʻo.

1031
00:49:33.690 --> 00:49:36.360
We wanna know where the areas of concerns are.

1032
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.460
Where are some options that might work great?

1033
00:49:38.460 --> 00:49:40.115
And then who are the people of those areas?

1034
00:49:40.115 --> 00:49:42.490
So what is the community engagement process

1035
00:49:42.490 --> 00:49:44.793
that will work best for this plan?

1036
00:49:48.470 --> 00:49:49.790
And then how to get involved?

1037
00:49:49.790 --> 00:49:52.640
So participate in scoping meetings.

1038
00:49:52.640 --> 00:49:53.473
Like I mentioned,

1039
00:49:53.473 --> 00:49:54.950
we just had a scoping last month

1040
00:49:54.950 --> 00:49:57.050
for our Herbivore Initiative.

1041
00:49:57.050 --> 00:50:00.323
There was a scoping for Miloliʻi.

1042
00:50:01.650 --> 00:50:03.800
When we do go to the BLNR board

1043
00:50:03.800 --> 00:50:06.450
to enter into the chapter 91 rulemaking process,

1044
00:50:06.450 --> 00:50:07.890
that'll be another opportunity

1045
00:50:07.890 --> 00:50:11.430
for the public, community, fishers to provide testimony.

1046
00:50:11.430 --> 00:50:12.733
To provide their comments.

1047
00:50:14.080 --> 00:50:15.817
So, yeah, participate in our scoping meetings

1048
00:50:15.817 --> 00:50:17.080
and our hearings.

1049
00:50:17.080 --> 00:50:19.360
Provide testimony and written comments,

1050
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:22.210
and then sign up for our mailing list to receive updates.

1051
00:50:23.120 --> 00:50:24.380
And that's actually...

1052
00:50:28.580 --> 00:50:33.343
So this is the last poll that we're gonna jump into.

1053
00:50:35.890 --> 00:50:40.890
<v Malia>Alrighty. So after Luna's amazing presentation,</v>

1054
00:50:41.420 --> 00:50:44.784
are you able to explain the difference between an MMA

1055
00:50:44.784 --> 00:50:46.350
and an MPA?

1056
00:50:46.350 --> 00:50:49.050
So go ahead and register your vote.

1057
00:50:49.050 --> 00:50:54.050
Your choice is yes, no, or not sure.

1058
00:50:54.070 --> 00:50:55.390
So go ahead.

1059
00:50:55.390 --> 00:50:59.710
That was a really awesome weaving of culture and science.

1060
00:50:59.710 --> 00:51:01.213
Luna, so mahalo nui.

1061
00:51:02.100 --> 00:51:05.210
All right. So we've got about 75% have voted.

1062
00:51:05.210 --> 00:51:09.760
So I'm gonna close it up in three, two, one

1063
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:12.683
and let's check out the results.

1064
00:51:14.090 --> 00:51:18.310
Okay. So pretty astounding 92% say yes.

1065
00:51:18.310 --> 00:51:20.440
They are able to explain the difference between

1066
00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:22.070
an MMA and MPA.

1067
00:51:22.070 --> 00:51:25.880
1%, no and 7% not sure.

1068
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:27.130
And back to you Luna.

1069
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:33.400
<v ->Okay. And so this pretty much wraps up the story.</v>

1070
00:51:33.890 --> 00:51:37.460
To get more information, you can check out our website.

1071
00:51:37.460 --> 00:51:42.460
So it's on https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/marine30x30.

1072
00:51:45.300 --> 00:51:46.470
To subscribe for updates,

1073
00:51:46.470 --> 00:51:47.790
which is on the previous slide.

1074
00:51:47.790 --> 00:51:50.510
You can go to our sign up for the 30 by 30 news

1075
00:51:50.510 --> 00:51:51.513
at this link.

1076
00:51:52.850 --> 00:51:53.810
key contacts.

1077
00:51:53.810 --> 00:51:57.490
So Brian Neilson, he is our DAR Administrater.

1078
00:51:57.490 --> 00:51:58.420
He's the boss man.

1079
00:51:58.420 --> 00:52:01.470
So we make sure, "Hey, before we go sailing,

1080
00:52:01.470 --> 00:52:02.800
we check in with the boss and make sure."

1081
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:04.730
Like we wanna go see all over here.

1082
00:52:04.730 --> 00:52:06.890
This is what we wanna do with the community,

1083
00:52:06.890 --> 00:52:08.340
with our DAR team over there.

1084
00:52:09.250 --> 00:52:12.910
And then myself and Stacia Marcoux.

1085
00:52:12.910 --> 00:52:17.910
So Stacia Marcoux is a hammer, she's our number one stroker.

1086
00:52:18.510 --> 00:52:21.780
We go at her pace and I just gotta steer us in the canoe.

1087
00:52:21.780 --> 00:52:23.050
And then we swap, right?

1088
00:52:23.050 --> 00:52:25.940
So when it comes to community initiative,

1089
00:52:25.940 --> 00:52:28.270
that cultural piece I'll step up

1090
00:52:28.270 --> 00:52:29.730
and take the steersman paddle.

1091
00:52:29.730 --> 00:52:31.500
But when it comes to the science and more of

1092
00:52:31.500 --> 00:52:33.620
that like getting into the details

1093
00:52:33.620 --> 00:52:36.010
of how things are gonna work with the science pieces,

1094
00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:36.967
that's why we have Stacia.

1095
00:52:36.967 --> 00:52:40.280
And so our team, we kind of like step on the side

1096
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:41.113
and let the next person,

1097
00:52:41.113 --> 00:52:43.540
"Hey, this is your area of expertise."

1098
00:52:43.540 --> 00:52:46.151
And so I just wanna acknowledge that with our team,

1099
00:52:46.151 --> 00:52:48.450
it couldn't be done without a team

1100
00:52:48.450 --> 00:52:49.550
and I'm super grateful

1101
00:52:49.550 --> 00:52:53.333
that we do have our Holomua team paddling a canoe.

1102
00:52:55.310 --> 00:52:58.110
And so with that like the story is not pau.

1103
00:52:58.110 --> 00:53:00.023
We have the 2030 and beyond that.

1104
00:53:00.900 --> 00:53:02.470
So it's to be continued.

1105
00:53:02.470 --> 00:53:05.090
And I just wanna mahalo everybody for your time.

1106
00:53:05.090 --> 00:53:07.920
I hope there's time for questions and I didn't go overtime,

1107
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:12.467
but mahalo, mahalo, mahalo for this opportunity.

1108
00:53:12.467 --> 00:53:14.502
<v ->Oh, mahalo nui Luna.</v>

1109
00:53:14.502 --> 00:53:16.670
That was a great presentation.

1110
00:53:16.670 --> 00:53:19.860
And we do a time for a couple of questions.

1111
00:53:19.860 --> 00:53:23.790
So I think Justin is got a couple lined up for you.

1112
00:53:23.790 --> 00:53:26.670
<v Justin>Yeah, I did wanna say to our audience</v>

1113
00:53:26.670 --> 00:53:28.530
that there are more questions than we have time with,

1114
00:53:28.530 --> 00:53:31.060
but we will be sharing all of your questions and comments

1115
00:53:31.060 --> 00:53:34.800
with Luna and sending out his responses

1116
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:38.433
after a couple of weeks when he has time to look at it.

1117
00:53:38.433 --> 00:53:41.820
So maybe I'll start with the first question that came in

1118
00:53:41.820 --> 00:53:45.110
and I'm kind of trying to paraphrase here.

1119
00:53:45.110 --> 00:53:48.080
If we are gonna follow traditional practices,

1120
00:53:48.080 --> 00:53:52.780
where does a total ban fit into the cultural practice?

1121
00:53:52.780 --> 00:53:55.580
How does this fit with increasing local food production?

1122
00:53:58.330 --> 00:54:00.433
<v ->Okay. So I will share this one.</v>

1123
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.210
So total ban, it is an option on the board,

1124
00:54:06.210 --> 00:54:08.950
but it's not the priority that we're looking at.

1125
00:54:08.950 --> 00:54:09.870
And if you actually look

1126
00:54:09.870 --> 00:54:12.370
to the Community-based Subsistence Fishing Areas.

1127
00:54:12.370 --> 00:54:15.000
So if you look at Haʻena, you look at Moʻomomi,

1128
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.280
look at Miloliʻi they are proposing these areas

1129
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:18.130
called Pu'uhonua.

1130
00:54:20.810 --> 00:54:22.930
Now that we're here we're gonna look into that name

1131
00:54:22.930 --> 00:54:25.310
because it started with Haʻena,

1132
00:54:25.310 --> 00:54:28.032
and the Pu'uhonua was area that it was

1133
00:54:28.032 --> 00:54:30.690
like a do not enter area.

1134
00:54:30.690 --> 00:54:32.940
This is where the fish come to spawn.

1135
00:54:32.940 --> 00:54:33.977
This is where all the babies are.

1136
00:54:33.977 --> 00:54:37.070
And so it was like no entry area.

1137
00:54:37.070 --> 00:54:41.020
And so that's kind of like community see the importance of

1138
00:54:41.020 --> 00:54:43.520
that as having a place for like this is

1139
00:54:43.520 --> 00:54:45.190
where our spawning grounds is.

1140
00:54:45.190 --> 00:54:47.487
People shouldn't be over there wind surfing or surfing.

1141
00:54:47.487 --> 00:54:49.973
It's meant to be left alone.

1142
00:54:51.220 --> 00:54:54.640
And so I think that's one avenue

1143
00:54:54.640 --> 00:54:58.048
that communities have taken to kind of work with that.

1144
00:54:58.048 --> 00:55:00.480
Like, "Hey, this is a no entry area.

1145
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:02.950
No take area, nothing should happen over here."

1146
00:55:02.950 --> 00:55:04.670
That's how sacred it is because it is

1147
00:55:04.670 --> 00:55:06.330
where the baby fish go.

1148
00:55:06.330 --> 00:55:09.920
It's like that's the source of the rest of the area.

1149
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:13.120
And so I'm thinking that, that might be the avenue

1150
00:55:13.120 --> 00:55:16.410
that this participant was maybe asking for,

1151
00:55:16.410 --> 00:55:20.870
but that's a contemporary kind of option

1152
00:55:21.710 --> 00:55:24.103
that we have right now as DAR.

1153
00:55:27.600 --> 00:55:29.170
<v Justin>Great. Thank you.</v>

1154
00:55:29.170 --> 00:55:30.470
Andy, do we have time for one more

1155
00:55:30.470 --> 00:55:31.790
or where are we at with time?

1156
00:55:31.790 --> 00:55:33.800
<v Andy>Yeah, we have time for one more.</v>

1157
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:37.440
<v Justin>Okay. This was a question</v>

1158
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:41.620
regarding the community-based observations.

1159
00:55:41.620 --> 00:55:44.070
And the question was asking

1160
00:55:44.070 --> 00:55:49.070
how you kind of vet the community observations

1161
00:55:50.420 --> 00:55:53.223
for accuracy and science-based measurement.

1162
00:55:55.430 --> 00:55:57.110
<v ->Okay. So that is part of...</v>

1163
00:55:57.110 --> 00:55:59.770
So right now we have a framework.

1164
00:55:59.770 --> 00:56:03.330
So we're looking at where the pukas are in DAR

1165
00:56:03.330 --> 00:56:04.630
in our dataset monitoring.

1166
00:56:04.630 --> 00:56:06.863
So DAR is being honest.

1167
00:56:07.890 --> 00:56:09.460
We're looking at heʻe right now

1168
00:56:09.460 --> 00:56:12.240
because DAR doesn't have a monitoring protocol for that

1169
00:56:12.240 --> 00:56:15.170
ʻopihi, limu, lobsters.

1170
00:56:15.170 --> 00:56:19.820
And these are all proposed regulations from the communities.

1171
00:56:19.820 --> 00:56:21.440
So they're out there looking at that.

1172
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:22.870
So we have kind of a framework

1173
00:56:22.870 --> 00:56:24.770
for these are the things we're looking for.

1174
00:56:24.770 --> 00:56:27.950
As far as what the method and protocols are,

1175
00:56:27.950 --> 00:56:31.020
that's gonna happen once we get our coordinator on board.

1176
00:56:31.020 --> 00:56:32.930
So the communities are already doing that,

1177
00:56:32.930 --> 00:56:36.090
but we have to make sure that we're quality control,

1178
00:56:36.090 --> 00:56:38.900
Checking and making sure that this is

1179
00:56:38.900 --> 00:56:41.300
it's kind of like across the board.

1180
00:56:41.300 --> 00:56:43.250
And so it's gonna take training, right?

1181
00:56:44.371 --> 00:56:45.204
That's part of that's part of that proposal

1182
00:56:45.204 --> 00:56:46.777
that we put in is not just to like say,

1183
00:56:46.777 --> 00:56:48.407
"Hey, we're taking your dataset."

1184
00:56:49.243 --> 00:56:50.547
We have a framework we're gonna work with

1185
00:56:50.547 --> 00:56:52.390
and to make sure that framework works.

1186
00:56:52.390 --> 00:56:55.860
And that the protocols that we're using is what they do.

1187
00:56:55.860 --> 00:56:57.510
But then also having like trainings

1188
00:56:57.510 --> 00:56:58.450
for the community to make sure

1189
00:56:58.450 --> 00:56:59.990
that when we're collecting the data,

1190
00:56:59.990 --> 00:57:00.823
here's how we should be doing it

1191
00:57:00.823 --> 00:57:03.460
so that we're making sure that we're eliminating some

1192
00:57:03.460 --> 00:57:04.900
of those variables.

1193
00:57:04.900 --> 00:57:07.560
And so that is gonna be in the works.

1194
00:57:07.560 --> 00:57:08.630
It's still an idea.

1195
00:57:08.630 --> 00:57:10.510
And we've been working with communities

1196
00:57:10.510 --> 00:57:13.230
and trying figure out like where we can pull data

1197
00:57:13.230 --> 00:57:15.540
from or what data would be up to couple.

1198
00:57:15.540 --> 00:57:18.400
But as far as actually using it,

1199
00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:19.900
we haven't gotten to that point yet

1200
00:57:19.900 --> 00:57:22.610
because it's still kind of just feeling things out.

1201
00:57:22.610 --> 00:57:24.810
And we got to get this coordinator on board.

1202
00:57:26.100 --> 00:57:26.933
<v Justin>Hey, mahalo nui.</v>

1203
00:57:26.933 --> 00:57:28.740
Well, I think we're about out of time.

1204
00:57:28.740 --> 00:57:31.310
We'll share all the other questions and comments with you.

1205
00:57:31.310 --> 00:57:33.200
I did wanna say a lot of comments came in

1206
00:57:33.200 --> 00:57:35.710
and giving you props for your verses.

1207
00:57:35.710 --> 00:57:37.575
They really enjoyed your songs.

1208
00:57:37.575 --> 00:57:38.408
(And laughs)

1209
00:57:38.408 --> 00:57:39.241
So thank you for that.

1210
00:57:39.241 --> 00:57:40.074
<v ->Something different.</v>

1211
00:57:41.780 --> 00:57:43.190
<v ->Yeah. Mahalo.</v>

1212
00:57:43.190 --> 00:57:46.620
The song was spectacular.

1213
00:57:46.620 --> 00:57:50.940
You have to do a CD. (laughs)

1214
00:57:50.940 --> 00:57:53.010
We have another person from Samoa.

1215
00:57:53.010 --> 00:57:56.330
They're quite musical in our office of Samoa.

1216
00:57:56.330 --> 00:57:59.210
And they did a presentation for us yesterday

1217
00:57:59.210 --> 00:58:00.300
and did some songs on it.

1218
00:58:00.300 --> 00:58:03.150
So I have to pin you up with Sefa down in Samoa

1219
00:58:04.131 --> 00:58:06.740
and do some great marine conservation songs.

1220
00:58:06.740 --> 00:58:07.883
So mahalo for that.

1221
00:58:08.780 --> 00:58:09.613
All right, everybody.

1222
00:58:09.613 --> 00:58:11.570
Well, mahalo for attending.

1223
00:58:11.570 --> 00:58:14.770
This webinar will be archived and available online

1224
00:58:14.770 --> 00:58:16.820
at that link that you see on the screen

1225
00:58:16.820 --> 00:58:18.950
in about 10 days to two weeks.

1226
00:58:18.950 --> 00:58:21.260
So it depends if we have to transcribe it.

1227
00:58:21.260 --> 00:58:23.655
And then we have to get our web team back to DC

1228
00:58:23.655 --> 00:58:24.890
to post it.

1229
00:58:24.890 --> 00:58:26.630
So sometimes it takes a little longer,

1230
00:58:26.630 --> 00:58:29.260
but you will get an email about that.

1231
00:58:29.260 --> 00:58:31.500
You will also get a certificate for one hour

1232
00:58:31.500 --> 00:58:34.310
of Professional Development Attendance for this workshop

1233
00:58:34.310 --> 00:58:38.790
in your email probably by tomorrow for attending.

1234
00:58:38.790 --> 00:58:43.690
And also next month, we have a lot of special presentation

1235
00:58:43.690 --> 00:58:45.100
for Hawaiian Language Month.

1236
00:58:45.100 --> 00:58:47.620
We're still finalizing the speakers for that,

1237
00:58:47.620 --> 00:58:50.230
but you will check your email and you'll get an announcement

1238
00:58:50.230 --> 00:58:53.300
for that in the next week or two.

1239
00:58:53.300 --> 00:58:55.050
So we'll have a couple of presenters talking

1240
00:58:55.050 --> 00:58:59.560
about Hawaiʻi and the integration to management

1241
00:58:59.560 --> 00:59:01.680
and research in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

1242
00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:04.660
And then also some of the

1243
00:59:04.660 --> 00:59:06.930
like the Mele no Papahānaumokuākea you heard

1244
00:59:06.930 --> 00:59:10.350
at the beginning of this webinar connect up to management

1245
00:59:10.350 --> 00:59:14.220
and operations in the special area.

1246
00:59:14.220 --> 00:59:15.190
And lastly,

1247
00:59:15.190 --> 00:59:19.040
our sanctuary designation process is still in play.

1248
00:59:19.040 --> 00:59:21.930
We're accepting public comment through January, 31st.

1249
00:59:21.930 --> 00:59:24.630
We finished our scoping meetings in December.

1250
00:59:24.630 --> 00:59:26.550
So please go online.

1251
00:59:26.550 --> 00:59:28.950
I think Justin is gonna post the link in the chat

1252
00:59:28.950 --> 00:59:30.130
or designation page.

1253
00:59:30.130 --> 00:59:33.120
And you can please provide comments on what you'd like

1254
00:59:33.120 --> 00:59:36.395
to see for protection for management

1255
00:59:36.395 --> 00:59:38.458
of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands,

1256
00:59:38.458 --> 00:59:42.900
and the proposed National Marine Sanctuary in that area.

1257
00:59:42.900 --> 00:59:46.850
NOAAʻs considering a National Marine Sanctuary in that area.

1258
00:59:46.850 --> 00:59:49.280
And lastly, please fill out the poll.

1259
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:51.840
This is how we get support for these programs

1260
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:55.580
and how we know what else you might like to hear from us.

1261
00:59:55.580 --> 00:59:58.410
So please fill that out and give us any recommendations.

1262
00:59:58.410 --> 01:00:02.930
And again, mahalo for participating today

1263
01:00:02.930 --> 01:00:04.400
and be safe out there.

1264
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:07.560
COVID is still probably wider than ever.

1265
01:00:07.560 --> 01:00:08.617
So please be safe.

1266
01:00:08.617 --> 01:00:12.063
And mahalo for attending and thank you.
