<br />lands and 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 Hdmdkua's unique natural and cultural
<br />landscape.
<br />Potential Community Lead: Action Committee
