pick up any birds in PTA, but as far as I know, they haven't been recorded down there <br /> since the 1950's and 60's. <br /> LT: Thank you very much, sorry just the interruption, but can we let the person in the <br /> waiting room, I saw his name up there for a couple of minutes... and I wanted to see if <br /> we could get him in, before we continue...... <br /> JK: (IT tech) So I messaged him privately and asked him to call the mayor's office just to <br /> confirm his identity and I have not heard from him in the past ten (10) minutes <br /> TWC: I personally know him; he comes to me from DOFAW office and meetings <br /> LT: So, you're going to let this person in? <br /> JK Oh they just left the meeting <br /> TWC: I was just texting him, but I never like to interrupt the presentation <br /> LT: Sorry about that. <br /> JK He can try join again [inaudible] <br /> LT: Okay, thank you, thank you very much...that situation we got to clear up. Moving <br /> forward...Commissioners any discussion? <br /> JA Justin District 9 - Brett, I didn't hear you mention anything about the ariel eradication of <br /> the ungulates upon Mauna Kea, and Kaohe? <br /> BM: That's still on going, that's a court order mandate that DLNR is required to do and <br /> basically right now there's quarterly flights that are done to remove sheep from Palila <br /> habitat and typically around forty (40) to hundred and twenty (120) animals have been <br /> removed per quarter, and that's still all open for public salvage. So, people are welcome <br /> to contact I believe in the West Hawaii office to set up anytime they would like to go in <br /> and salvage those animals. But still, that's mostly just an effort to reduce the impact of <br /> sheep on the Mamane. As you folks know Mamane is a palatable species and sheep <br /> tend to have a pretty big impact. And unfortunately, we have been seeing more sheep <br /> in that refugia area, I got to know folks up there more recently, but there's a lot of Silver <br /> Swords planted, and we've been seeing a lot more herbivore on those Silver Swords. <br /> But, in recent years, I think most recently they ended the most recent report they <br /> removed a hundred and twenty (120) animals. It was a more grass event than usual and <br /> the perimeter fence for Mauna Kea, the last section the negotiation is still happening <br /> and that's going through Kukaiau Ranch area so once that's closed there probably less <br /> sheep and grass. For right now it's pretty continuous, we're dealing with about forty <br /> (40) to a hundred and twenty (120) animals being removed every quarter. <br /> 17 <br />
