INTRODUCTION
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park (KAHO), on the western side of the Big Island of Hawai'i, was established in 1978 with a mission to protect traditional native Hawaiian activities and culture. This includes the preservation of numerous anchialine pools and fishponds. These inland, as well as marine, waters of KAHO provide vital habitat for six federally protected species and three candidate threatened or endangered species in addition to traditional Hawaiian aquaculture. KAHO sits at the base of the Hualalai Aquifer, an area with growing demand for water resources, largely due to increased development in the region. |
