Major Threats In South Kohala
Land Based Sources of Pollution
Land based sources of pollution (LBSP) negatively impacts coral reef habitat. Sediment delivered from South Kohala Streams smothers coral and blocks sunlight needed for coral growth and survival, causing mortality and loss of habitat for coastal and marine life.

Unsustainable Fishing Practices
Effective management is needed to ensure that take does not degrade marine life or habitat. Recovery of resource fish and fish habitat requires development of and compliance with sound rules.

Invasive Species
Invasive species have the potential to displace native species and alter entire ecosystems. Prevention is more coast effective than management, but both are important tools for keeping native ecosystems intact and healthy for the people who depend on them.

South KOhala ConServation ACtion PLan Strategies
Community Partnerships
Objective: Active communities engaged in managing all six target coastal resources throughout the South Kohala region and incorporating kinship into their approach by 2015.
Community Co-Managed Areas
Objective: Work with communities to establish at least one community co-managed area in South Kohala with strong community support by 2015, and initiate at least two additional areas by 2020.
Fisheries Management
Objective: Implement fisheries management actions that ensure healthy coastal resources through supporting pono (sustainable and appropriate) fishing practices, and increase compliance by 50% by 2020.
Sediment Reduction
Objective: Implement priority projects to reduce sediment and measurably improve the condition of priority coastal targets in at least one priority coastal area by 2015.
Invasive Species
Objective: Prevent new introductions and manage existing non-native and invasive species to restore/maintain ecosystem function for 50% of managed priority anchialine pools, fishponds, and reefs by 2020.
Additional Threat Assessment
Objective: Understand and quantify effects of specific additional threats on CAP targets by 2020.
