and adaptive co -management of Kealakekua Bay which will honor traditional place -based <br />knowledge and practices. <br />The Kealakekua Bay Community Action Plan (CAP) is a document that has been <br />thoroughly developed and refined by the multi -faceted community of Kealakekua and <br />implies a strong path forward for partners that would serve as stewards of the properties <br />nominated. <br />Community support and collaboration is prevalent in the nomination of these properties <br />and their future stewardship. Partnerships have been identified, and needs have been <br />defined for appropriate collaboration and stewardship. <br />Weaknesses: <br />■ No weaknesses identified. <br />Concerns and Other Thoughts: <br />Current scoring systems for PONC nominations do not necessarily account for the <br />significance of these properties as an extension and access -point of the cultural and natural <br />areas which do not fall within its property boundaries. The significance of the extended <br />landscape and community must be understood and emphasized as part of the property <br />value and the property nomination itself must be seen as an integral part of the extended <br />lands and waters of Ka`awaloa and Kealakekua. Viewing these spaces as undeniably <br />connected and interwoven is critical to considering the extended landscape in scoring <br />processes. <br />Report by: Cayla Crivello, Vice Chair, PONC Commission <br />Photos by: Cayla Crivello, Vice Chair, PONC Commission <br />
