A Message from the Coastal Zone Management Program
It is with great pleasure that we are releasing the 4th version of the Community
Stewardship Directory. 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.

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.

University of Hawai‘i Department of Geography
Year Established: 1931 Mission Statement
To strive to link three overlapping domains - the environmental, the human and the technological, to understand
humans as inhabitants and transformers of the earth. It has roots in both the physical and the social sciences. An
overriding spatial perspective is reflected in such integrative concepts as place, region, landscapes and
seascapes, human and physical systems. The search for such understanding involves a thorough study of (a)
interlocking systems of the natural environment (climate, landforms, oceans, biota); (b) the social use (and
abuse) of natural resources; (c) the diverse historical, cultural, social, economic, and political structures and
processes which affect the spatial organization of population groups and their activities; and (d) areas of the
Earth’s surface at various scales - cities, regions, nations, states or landscapes - where integrated interpretation
of cultural, economic and political processes can be attempted.
