Maui Sea Turtle Ecology
Hawaii in general, and the island of Maui in particular, is one of the few places in
the world where Green sea turtles are plentiful, making up a major component
of the shallow water reef environment. Join the author of the book 'Sea Turtles:
An Ecological Guide' on a three day journey to learn all about their ecology in
their island home. The Hawaiian green sea turtle or 'honu' was important in
Hawaiian culture and has made an amazing recovery over the last 30 years.
Activities include visits to the Maui Ocean Center and the offshore volcanic cinder cone island of Molokini where we will learn
about both the Hawaiian green sea turtle and the Hawaiian hawksbill sea turtle's ecology and snorkel in their habitats, explore
sea turtle nesting beaches and feeding areas, visit the infamous "Turtle Town", and investigate a mock crime scene of a
disturbed sea turtle nest. Along the way we'll discuss, from a sea turtle perspective, symbiosis, resource management issues,
invasive species, and natural history.
Participants should be able to both snorkel and hike short distances over rough coastal terrain. Costs include meals during
program dates, taxes, charters and admission.

Reactive measures are being taken to mitigate aquatic invasive species (AIS) on Hawaiian coral reefs. This field experience
will take you on a journey from recognizing vectors of AIS transfer, to identifying key invaders during a kayak tour out of He'eia
Harbor, followed by a boating excursion to the SUPER SUCKER BARGE in Kaneohe Bay, built for active frontline removal of
invasive macro alga. Participants will get to observe invasive algae being removed from a coral reef and active biocontrol
efforts (native hatchery raised sea urchins Tripneustes gratilla) currently keeping algae regrowth at non-invasive levels.
Participants will need to bring their own snorkel gear**
including: mask, snorkel, fins, gloves, weight belt if required,
2-8 lbs. of weight (pending body weight), booties, 3-5mm
wetsuit, hood (optional), seasickness medication (optional). If
open-toed fins are used, please remember to bring a pair of
CLOSED-TOED shoes appropriate for getting wet on a boat.
Remember to bring SUNSCREEN and at least (1) liter of water
per person. A BBQ picnic lunch will be provided.

Many of these efforts are based out of the Division of Aquatic Resources' Anuenue Fisheries Research Center, located on
Sand Island across the harbor from downtown Honolulu. Join us in a tour of our innovative Sea Urchin Hatchery where we
raise native sea urchins for introduction onto Hawaiian reefs to help control invasive algae. Take an in-depth tour of our brand
new, state-of-the-art Coral Restoration Nursery where we are fast-growing coral colonies for transplantation onto impacted
reefs. Meet members of our Aquatic Invasive Species Response team and learn about the range of aquatic invasive species
issues affecting Hawaiian reefs. After lunch, take a short walk to one of our pilot coral restoration areas and snorkel over a
shallow reef flat to see a small-scale demonstration of fast-grown nursery corals being used to repair reef habitat.

Managing Maui’s MPA’s: From Watersheds to Co-Management
Experience four distinct Maui reefs, hosted by local science, management and
conservation partners specializing in various aspects of marine management in Maui
Nui. This four night, three full day field trip starts with a focus on the US Coral Reef Task
Force designated priority watershed site in West Maui, including a snorkel/SCUBA visit
to the reef at Kahekili Beach Park where this effort began, accompanied by a discussion
of LSBP science, herbivore dynamics and the watershed management initiative, as well
as a snorkel at Honolua Bay Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD) and one additional
site to look at the impacts and challenges of land based sources of pollution and
watershed management efforts. The second day begins with one half day diving at
Molokini Crater to look at this unique MLCD and how Hawaii’s largest coral bleaching
event to date has impacted it, followed by lunch with a view and a behind the scenes tour of the Maui Ocean Center aquarium
with highlights of their partner efforts with local mangers and researchers on coral conservation activities. Day three starts
with a Trilogy Excursion sailing catamaran boat trip and snorkel at Olowalu reef, aka ‘the mother reef’ and the ‘jewel of Maui’,
to look at the past, present, and future stressors of this reef and discuss the management ideas and efforts being highlighted
here, along with an on-board talk story session about Community Makai (marine) Managed Areas (CMMAs). This trip affords
many opportunities to learn from each other and local hosts over casual beginning evening reception, and provided lunches.

forensic trainings all over the globe for natural resource trustee groups. Through
the International Coral Reef Initiative 's Ad Hoc Committee on Enforcement and
Investigation and the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network, we will
be offering a five day/five night field workshop on investigating and collecting
evidence from human-caused impacts on coral reefs within MPAs. This training
workshop will involve SCUBA and is designed for certified divers who are agency
or NGO biologists, resource managers, investigators, attorneys or enforcement
officers. Activities will run all day and into the evening and involve extended
periods of time in the ocean and along the shoreline. Field activities include use
of chain-of-custody in the marine environment, field forensic gear, fingerprinting
objects from underwater, beach casting tracks and footprints, underwater
evidence documentation and collection, rapid ecological assessments for
enforcement cases, dealing with the media, and a mock court where participants
will present the evidence they collected in the field during the week. Participants
will receive a forensic field pack, underwater forensic tools and other materials
for the training.
All participants need to bring their own snorkeling gear, wetsuit, sun protection,

Estuaries, Seagrasses, and Coral Reefs:
Gradients in an Urban Watershed
Maunalua Bay in East Honolulu offers an opportunity to experience
the rapid transitions of the coastal ecosystems that characterize
the Hawaiian Islands. The field trip includes walking and
snorkeling tours of estuarine systems ranging from coastal
groundwater sites, a lagoon with endemic water-birds, a coastal
embayment including seagrass meadows and both fringing and
offshore coral reefs. The urbanized watershed of Maunalua Bay is
also a model setting to explore the theme of the ICRS-Bridging
Science to Policy. Just after statehood, Hawaii experienced rapid
development with East Honolulu undergoing extensive changes.
For example, both coral reefs and estuaries were dredged and
filled to expand boating opportunities for a growing population.
Additionally, Hawaiian fishponds were filled in to create valuable
waterfront property. How has the modernization of East Honolulu
affect the island’s coastal resources and cultural heritage 50 years
later? This field trip will have ample opportunity to discuss the
legacy of rapid development and our current need to manage
Hawaii’s coral reefs and endemic fishes, seagrass, algae and
water-birds on habitats altered by steam channelization, invasive
species and water quality degradation. A picnic box lunch will be
included.
