<br />Potential Next Steps: The Action Committee can provide leadership by:
<br />• Establishing/affirming priorities and advocating for them with land owners, public agencies, and other
<br />partners.
<br />• Supporting efforts of community-based organizations, The Nature Conservancy, and land trusts to
<br />acquire lands and easements.
<br />• Submitting recommendations and nominations to the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources
<br />Preservation Commission (PONC).
<br />• Encouraging landowners to establish conservation easements.

<br />Need: There is limited management of natural, scenic, cultural, subsistence, trail, and recreational resources
<br />along the Planning Area's coastline. Often, resources and landscapes have multiple owners and fall under
<br />several different jurisdictions. Effective resource management, therefore, requires high levels of
<br />collaboration and coordination among a wide range of agencies and organizations.
<br />Likewise, few know the resources like those who use and enjoy them. Local Hawaiian families, cultural
<br />practitioners, hunters, fisherman, hikers, farmers, and ranchers who know and frequent the forests,
<br />agriculture lands, and coastline are well-positioned to play a leadership role in managing them. This is
<br />consistent with the CDP objective to encourage community-based collaborative management plans to
<br />assure that human activities are in harmony with the quality of Hamakua's unique natural and cultural
<br />landscape. IML I"
