4 DUAL ANU Mitt' I IV The goal of this SRP is to provide a roadmap that conveys ' :. 4,004 the current situation and known needs for the next three :0.7"" -,, - .. ' r= years for understanding, and where possible, addressing 44 .4 .r ROD. This SRP presents seven strategic objectives in the areas , r' of containment, early detection, rapid response, outreach, and *." restoration: Objective 1. To understand and share the biocultural significance of 'ohi'a through this SRP; engage and learn '' "` from diverse partners representing culturally based ownerships in Hawaii; and embrace culturally-based approaches for addressing ROD; Objective 2. To develop a robust and efficient research plan Nearly a million acres of 'ohi'a for addressing high priority questions regarding: 1) statewide provide habitat, shelter, Ceratocystis genetics, etiology and epidemiology of and food for many species, in- the disease; 2) the roles of people, insects, and wind cluding this endangered Hawaiian as disease vectors; 3) detection of infected trees and tree snail on O'ahu which eats the treatment of infected sites; and 4) opportunities for mold that grows on the leaves. restoring impacted ecosystems; (Nate Yuen photo) Objective 3. To create a sustainable, coordinated, and efficient response to the disease that: 1) limits disease spread from affected districts of Hawai'i Island to unaffected areas of Hawai'i Island and prevents spread to other islands through a coordinated early detection and rapid response program; 2) develops robust containment and management of both disease infestations as well as new occurrences in otherwise disease-free areas; 3) deploys technologically advanced surveillance, monitoring, and early detection approaches; 4) monitors disease impacted areas, their long-term response to the pathogen, and projects future impacts; and 5) develops restoration plans for the range of 'ohi'a forest types and ownerships so that managers have access to next steps for addressing impacts of the disease; Objective 4. To provide the science and recommendations for guidelines, best management practices, or policies to manage disease spread over the long term; Objective 5. To develop a public outreach and engagement strategy that best engages Hawai'i's citizens and conservation organizations to address this disease; Objective 6. To describe critical roles and responsibilities across agencies and organizations, including how roles and responsibilities are to be coordinated today and into the future; Objective 7. To provide a synthesis of proposed activities and actions, and a detailed and transparent budget so the public, decision makers, agency leadership, and managers can clearly understand what is required to address the ROD threat.
