What are the objectives of the proposed project? Choose only one category and use <br /> additional pages as needed. <br /> P1Management Planning Maintenance Activities and Public Education <br /> Objective 1: Develop an archaeological inventory survey of the property <br /> Objective 1.1: Protect and maintain identified archaeological sites through monitoring and <br /> maintenance plans. <br /> Objective 1.2: Create visitor guidelines, and signage that highlights cultural significance of the <br /> location. <br /> Objective 2: Developing an effective management for native species restoration involving a <br /> combination of strategies, including invasive species control, promoting native plant <br /> communities, and utilizing appropriate seed sources and restoration techniques. Restoration <br /> efforts would consider site-specific conditions, including soil characteristics and potential <br /> disturbances, and require ongoing monitoring and adaptive management. <br /> Objective 2.1: Gather insights and best practices from successful management plans and <br /> agencies that have demonstrated proven results in similar contexts, to strengthen the <br /> development and implementation of the initial management plan. <br /> Objective 2.2:Ensure that appropriate cultural protocols and relevant cultural metrics are <br /> integrated into the management plan to support its effectiveness and long-term success. <br /> Objective 4: Establish a monitoring program for the coastline adjacent to the property. <br /> Objective 4.2: Monitor the existing coastline, establishing baseline data by documenting water <br /> quality and existing aquatic species to see the effects of commercialization in the Bay. <br /> Objective 4.1: Through collaborative monitoring with nearby community organizations, such as <br /> Kahalu`u Bay Education Center and The Kohala Center—we will identify priority information and <br /> align our efforts with existing local projects. By integrating their established metrics with <br /> site-specific measures, we can build a comprehensive understanding of ocean conditions and <br /> assess differences between protected and heavily used areas. This effort will focus on gathering <br /> baseline data on water quality, nutrient levels, and the presence of key species, including limu <br /> and fish, potentially in partnership with DLNR and other knowledgeable community groups. <br /> Sharing these results will strengthen our ability to protect and restore marine ecosystems while <br /> supporting informed, community-based stewardship. <br /> FINAL 2026 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 4 of 13 <br /> 26-04 <br />
