Over the years, we have continued to update the list of organizations in this resource to help facilitate connections and provide our communities with information to learn more about place-based stewardship activities in their areas. This year, with the support of participating organizations, the cover has been updated to feature just a few of the many stewardship activities that are occurring across the State. I hope you enjoy the new look! The publication of this directory would not be possible without the dedicated community stewardship groups and supportive volunteers across our islands who work tirelessly to conserve, preserve, and manage Hawaii’s precious natural and cultural resources. We’d like this Directory to foster a sense of community, support participating organizations’ activities, and connect likeminded entities that may be seeking to expand their activities. Have you used this Directory to make a connection? We value hearing from you about how you have used this resource, and your thoughts on how we can continue to improve. Justine Nihipali Coastal Zone Management Program Manager He‘eia State Park, O‘ahu, 2017 Community Stewardship Directory ii Overview The Community Stewardship Directory (Directory) is an ongoing effort of the Hawai‘i Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program to help community groups and organizations connect with each other to share their experiences and lessons learned in natural and cultural resources management. The Directory is one element to implement the Hawai‘i Ocean Resources Management Plan (ORMP). The ORMP, revised in 2013 and available through the CZM Program website (http://planning.hawaii.gov/czm) promotes place-, culture-, and community- based approaches to natural and cultural resource management and charts a new course of action that advocates for the community and all levels of government to work together collaboratively. The Directory will be updated periodically. Contributors to this directory completed an organizational profile that included names and locations of projects that typify their organization’s activities. Organizations were asked to select project locations based on the State’s judicial district boundaries, rather than specific ahupua‘a or traditional moku, as there are currently disagreements for some names and boundaries across the State. As these issues become resolved, we hope to incorporate these boundaries into updated versions. We hope this Community Stewardship Directory is a useful resource as organizations conduct projects and programs across the State. Currently, 104 organizations have requested inclusion in this directory. Organizations are listed in alphabetical order, and include contact information, mission statements, areas where they conduct stewardship activities, and notable projects. As this directory shows, community organizations are active across all of the main islands, dedicating their time, knowledge and inspiration to enhancing Hawai‘i’s precious resources. The following list provides a translation of Hawaiian words found in the directory. Hawaiian – English Translations ahupuaʻa ʻāina heiau honu kai kalo kamaʻāina kuleana lawaiʻa limu loʻi mālama kanaka maoli konohiki kupuna mahiʻai makai manaʻo mauka mawaena moku moʻolelo ʻohana poi pono traditional land divisions land; earth shrine Hawaiian green sea turtle sea taro native-born responsibility fisherman algae irrigated terrace to care for full-blooded Hawaiian head man of an ahupuaʻa honored elder or ancestor farmer toward the sea thoughts, opinions, beliefs toward the mountain central, midlands traditional district story, tale, myth, tradition, legend family Hawaiian dish (of mashed kalo and water) correct; in a state of harmony and balance Community Stewardship Directory iii Figure 1.
