Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) WFSData from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii. PacIOOS is one of eleven regional observing programs in the U.S. supporting the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). The PacIOOS region includes the U.S. Pacific Region (Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands), the Pacific nations in Free Association with the U.S. (Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau), and the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (Howland, Baker, Johnston, Jarvis, Kingman, Palmyra, Midway, Wake). These data are served using GeoServer in a variety of interoperable data services and output formats: http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/.

The statewide Natural Area Reserves System (NARS) was established to preserve areas that support communities of the natural flora and fauna of Hawaii and is administered by Hawaii's Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW). Located off the southwest coast of Maui, Ahihi-Kinau was the first designated reserve in 1973. Unlike other NARs, it includes a marine component. The surrounding coral reef systems shelter a complex assemblage of organisms, most of them endemic to the Hawaiian archipelago.

The contiguous zone is a band of water extending from the outer edge of the territorial sea to up to 24 nautical miles from the coastal baseline (usually the mean low-water mark), within which a state can exert limited control for the purpose of preventing or punishing "infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea". However, unlike the Territorial Sea there is no standard rule for resolving such conflicts, and the states in question must negotiate their own compromise.Earth Science > Human Dimensions > BoundariesEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Boundaries > Political Divisions > Country BoundariesGeographic Region > OceaniaOcean > Pacific OceanOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American SamoaOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > GuamOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Northern Mariana Islands > Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)Continent > North America > United States Of America > HawaiiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian IslandsOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Baker IslandOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Howland IslandOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Jarvis IslandOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Johnston AtollOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Kingman ReefOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Palmyra AtollOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Wake Islandboundariesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-178.828374 -14.96169167.081016 28.857603PACIOOS:fm_ej_poh_csp_coralsurvey2005Coral Monitoring Sites - Pohnpei, Federated States of MicronesiaCoral monitoring sites 2004-2005 in Pohnpei, Federated States of MicronesiaEarth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Benthic HabitatEarth Science > Land Surface > Geomorphology > Coastal Landforms/ProcessesEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Biological Classification > Plants > Macroalgae (Seaweeds)Ocean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Federated States of Micronesia > FSMOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Federated States of Micronesia > Pohnpeioceansbiotaurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326158.0 6.7158.334 7.035PACIOOS:hi_himb_all_cramp_sitesCoral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) Study Sites: Main Hawaiian IslandsThe Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) was created during 1997-98 by leading coral reef researchers, managers and educators in Hawaii. The initial task was to develop a statewide network consisting of over 30 long-term coral reef monitoring sites and an associated database. Upon completion of the monitoring network the focus was expanded to include rapid quantitative assessments and habitat mapping on a statewide spatial scale. Today the emphasis is on using these tools to understand the ecology of Hawaiian coral reefs in relation to other geographic areas.
CRAMP study sites, including all areas of concern designated by the State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), were selected from throughout the State of Hawaii based on information provided by a wide spectrum of managers, scientists, and educators. These sites represent a full range of reef habitats subjected to various degrees of anthropogenic influences ranging from severely impacted to relatively pristine sites held in conservation status.
CRAMP is based at the Hawaii Institue of Marine Biology (HIMB) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and is led by Dr. Ku'ulei S. Rodgers (kuuleir@hawaii.edu).

It has been compiled from a number of data sources which have been merged together by UNEP-WCMC and the WorldFish Centre in collaboration with WRI and TNC. It supersedes the dataset used in the World Atlas of Coral Reefs (2001), although some aspects of this product still originate from that data source. This amalgamated dataset has been created to further mobilise the Millennium Coral Reef Map Products and their validation. This data set should by no means replace the official release of the Millennium coral reef map and users should always check at the official sites for the most up-to-date available information. This dataset does not contain the full 5 level geomorphological categorization. In part, for the validated products, it maintains the simplified Reefbase subset but for the remaining areas i.e. the unvalidated data and data from other sources, there is only a single class to indicate coral reef.

When combined with data on where current or future environmental conditions are most favorable, we can learn where corals are thriving because of or in spite of a healthy marine environment. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regularly surveys the health of coral reefs in the Pacific Islands as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). Divers record coral cover at a series of sites across different reef zones and depths. These surveys are then aggregated across spatial sectors, which divide the waters around the island into ecological units useful for management and monitoring.
Resilience can be defined as the ability of a system to resist change during a disturbance or as the ability to recover quickly after a disturbance-induced change. This project analyzed trends in coral cover from the NCRMP from 2009 to 2018 to identify sectors that demonstrated either of these criteria for resilience. Coral sectors that maintained stable coral cover at relatively high levels were considered highly resilient. Sectors that demonstrated relatively rapid increases in coral cover over time were considered moderately resilient, and sectors that lost coral cover were considered to have low resilience. This project examined how the spatial distribution of highly resilient sectors related to areas with high environmental favorability.
This layer represents geospatial polygons of the NCRMP coral sectors divided into three categories: high, moderate, and low coral resilience.Earth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Reef HabitatEarth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Reef > Coral ReefEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Impacts > ConservationEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Human Settlements > Coastal AreasEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Sustainability > Environmental SustainabilityEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral Reef AssessmentOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > ManuaOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > OfuOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > OlosegaOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > TauOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > Tutuilabiotaenvironmentoceansurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-170.963487006602 -14.4304551175331-169.360446243045 -14.0933916801289PACIOOS:gu_noaa_all_coral_resilienceCoral Resilience By NOAA NCRMP Sector - GuamRecords of coral cover from the recent past can inform management strategies for reef restoration and protection.

Fishermen in Hawaii and other parts of the world have long known that tunas and other pelagic fishes are attracted to floating objects. Fishermen have benefited from this behavior by fishing around floating logs, nets, debris and other flotsam. Hawaii has capitalized on this phenomena by placing FADs in the waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. In these waters, schools of tunas and other important pelagic fishes such as dolphin-fish (mahi-mahi), wahoo (ono), and billfishes can be induced to congregate and remain for periods of time in an area so that fishers can easily locate them. Thus, the FADs are used to "attract" and "hold" pelagic fishes in areas to enhance fishing.
NOTE: Please do not rely on these buoys to check your position. Most buoys have only been located to the nearest 0.1 minute (6 seconds). In addition, each buoy has a watch circle that can be as much as 1 mile in diameter.Earth Science > Biological Classification > Animals/Vertebrates > FishEarth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > FisheriesEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Social Behavior > Recreational Activities/Areas > FishingContinent > North America > United States Of America > HawaiiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islandsbiotafarmingoceansurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-159.731666666667 18.9558333333333-154.778333333333 22.33PACIOOS:hi_tnc_bigi_fish_pondsFish Ponds - Big Island, HawaiiLocations of known and historic fish ponds on the island of Hawaii (Big Island).

This layer outlines the Habitat Blueprint project boundary for a portion of the west coast of Hawaii Island (Big Island).
The leeward (west) side of Big Island is known for white sandy beaches and coral reefs that make it a popular destination for snorkeling, diving, and fishing. The region contains a variety of ecosystems including watersheds, Anchialine pool systems, dry-land forest, and coral reefs. There are several species of concern in the area that are important to Hawaii's economy, culture, and environment. For example, South Kohala contains one of the longest contiguous coral reefs in the state. Nearly a quarter of the corals and fish that live along this coast are found nowhere else in the world. Endangered or threatened species found in this area include Hawaiian monk seals, humpback whales, false killer whales, and green sea turtles (honu). The South Kohala district is one of the fastest growing areas on the Big Island and development is on the rise. Land uses include resort areas and very popular beaches. This means striking a delicate balance between the needs of humans and those of the natural resources. West Hawaii's natural resources are also threatened by land-based pollution and sediment, aquarium fishing, drought, fires, and invasive species.

The Coral Reef Working Group (CRWG), made up of key state and federal partners involved in coral reef management, was established to help provide guidance for the State of Hawaii's coral program.
The 2010 Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy (HCRS) is the guiding coral reef management document used by the DAR with support from the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program. The HCRS was developed through a participatory process including DAR staff as well as other agency representatives, academics and NGO partners and regional experts. Prior to the completion of the HCRS, management efforts were informed by threat-focused Local Action Strategies (LAS's). While the HRCS prioritizes place-based stewardship efforts, it includes and incorporates actions and needs identified by the LAS's.
This layer outlines the HCRS project boundary for a portion of the west coast of Hawaii Island (Big Island) in South Kohala. The goal for the South Kohala Conservation Action Plan (CAP) is to develop strategies to address priority threats to South Kohala's coral reef ecosystems. This process will engage statebolders to identify: 1) priority conservation targets, 2) threats acting on the targets, 3) strategies to conserve the targets, and 4) measurable indicators to evaluate the success of those strategies at conserving the targets.

King Tides provide a window into the future because today's high tides are predicted to become tomorrow's average sea levels. Citizen scientists have contributed to this free, publicly-accessible, and crowd-sourced dataset by photographing King Tides at places important to them throughout Hawaii and Oceania. Photos, observations, date, time, location, and other metadata are submitted online. This publicly-accessible online database informs research, policy, and decision making across the State of Hawaii and the wider Pacific region.
King tides are the highest astronomical tides of the year. The scientific term for a King Tide is a perigean spring tide. King Tides in the Hawaiian Islands tend to occur during the summer (e.g., July and August) and winter months (e.g., December and January) in conjunction with new moons and full moons. King Tides, or the highest high tides of the year, are a unique coastal hazard. The timing of these extreme water level events can be anticipated through the use of tidal predictions, yet their impacts (e.g., coastal flooding and inundation in low-lying areas) can have devastating consequences for coastal inhabitants, particularly when combined with severe weather or high wave events. It is a common misconception that King Tides are the result of man-made climate change. When in reality, they are not byproducts of climate change, rather they are windows for us to see what the future of sea level rise from global climate change might look like along our coastlines. With future sea level rise we can expect more frequent high tide flooding and monthly and even daily high tides exceeding coastal inundation thresholds.

This program brings together a network of people from across different levels of government, community involvement, NGOs and other stakeholders, expertise, and existing NOAA tools and services within specific geographic regions to tackle problems faced by coastal communities. The initial focus areas for the Hawaiian Islands SSC are to restore damaged wetlands by monitoring rainfall, stream flow, and salt water intrusion; balance human needs with ecosystem health; and to find solutions to local problems related to coastal inundation and sea level change.

The Ko'a Card was designed for use by everyone, including the community, citizen scientists, researchers, students, resource managers, recreational users, and visitors alike. Coral color health scores are based on actual colors of bleached and healthy Hawaiian corals. Each color sector corresponds to the density and performance of the symbiotic algae living in the coral tissue, which is linked to coral health. The lightest and darkest scores are recorded to allow for natural color variation across the coral.Earth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Reef HabitatEarth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Reef > Coral ReefEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Governance/Management > Environmental AssessmentsEarth Science > Land Surface > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral BleachingEarth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral ReefsContinent > North America > United States Of America > HawaiiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islandsbiotaoceansurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-159.51072 20.02413-155.82622 22.20405PACIOOS:pw_plrs_all_historicsitesHistoric Sites - PalauHistoric sites in Palau.Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Infrastructure > Cultural FeaturesOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Palausocietyurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::32653134.461849905725 7.324977471760936134.72166480495503 8.093028790396135PACIOOS:hi_hcgg_kaua_shore_allHistorical Shorelines - Kauai, HawaiiHistorical shorelines as determined using orthorectified and georeferenced aerial photographs and National Ocean Survey (NOS) topographic survey charts.

MLCDs allow only limited fishing and other consumptive uses, or prohibit such uses entirely. They provide fish and other aquatic life with a protected area in which to grow and reproduce, and are home to a great variety of species.
MLCDs are established by the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), as authorized by Chapter 190 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. Suggestions for areas to be included in the MLCD system may come from the State Legislature or the general public. In addition, the DLNR's Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) regularly conducts surveys of marine ecosystems throughout the state, and may recommend MLCD status for areas.

Five Micronesian governments--the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the U.S. Territory of Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)--have committed to "effectively conserve at least 30 percent of the near-shore marine resources and 20 percent of the terrestrial resources across Micronesia by 2020." This region-wide initiative evolved from local conservation projects across Micronesia and is now a large-scale partnership between governments, nonprofit and community leaders, and multinational agencies and donors. Partners include NOAA, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Conservation International, and others.

The study area includes the urban corridor stretching from Honolulu International Airport to Waikiki and Diamond Head along the south shore of Oahu. Shows inundation from the following three hazards:
1) Sea Level Rise Inundation: 0.5-m Scenario
Coastal flooding due to 0.5 meter of sea level rise. This scenario was derived using a National Geospatial Agency (NGA)-provided digital elevation model (DEM) based on LiDAR data of the Honolulu area collected in 2009. This "bare earth" DEM (vegetation and structures removed) was used to represent the current topography of the study area. The accuracy of the DEM was validated using a selection of 16 Tidal Benchmarks located within the study area. The single value tidal water surface of mean higher high water (MHHW) modeled at the Honolulu tide gauge was used to represent sea level for the purposes of this study. Water levels are shown as they would appear during the highest high tides (excluding wind-driven tides).
2) Tsunami Run-Up Inundation With 0.5-m Sea Level Rise
Computer model simulation of tsunami run-up inundation including half a meter of sea level rise at mean higher high water (MHHW) as its baseline water level. The model simulates maximum inundation based on five major historical tsunamis that have impacted Hawaii: 1) The 1946 Aleutian earthquake (8.2 Mw), 2) 1952 Kamchatka earthquake (9.0 Mw), 3) 1957 Aleutian earthquake (8.6 Mw), 4) 1960 Chile earthquake (9.5 Mw), and 5) the 1964 Alaska earthquake (9.2 Mw).
3) Hurricane Storm Surge Inundation With 0.5-m Sea Level Rise
Computer model simulation of hurricane storm surge inundation including half a meter of sea level rise at mean higher high water (MHHW) as its baseline water level. The model simulates a Category 4 hurricane, similar to Hurricane Iniki which devastated the island of Kauai in 1992, with a central pressure ranging from 910 to 970 mbar and maximum sustained winds ranging from 90 to 150 mph as it tracked from open ocean to land to open ocean again. The model result shows the Maximum of the Maximum Envelope of High Water (MEOW), or MOM, providing a worst-case snapshot for a particular storm category under "perfect" storm conditions.

Eighteen distinct and non-overlapping biological cover types were identified. Habitats or features that cover areas smaller than the minimal mapping unit of 1 acre were not considered. For example, uncolonized sand halos surrounding coral patch reefs are too small to be mapped independently. Cover type refers only to the predominant biological component colonizing the surface of the feature and does not address location (e.g., on the shelf or in the lagoon). The cover types are defined in a collapsible hierarchy ranging from eight major classes (live coral, seagrass, macroalgae, encrusting/coralline algae, turf algae, emergent vegetation, uncolonized, and unknown), combined with a density modifier representing the percentage of the predominant cover type (10%-<50% sparse, 50%-<90% patchy, 90%-100% continuous).
Similarly, 14 distinct and non-overlapping geomorphological structure types were identified. The structure types are defined in a collapsible hierarchy ranging from four major classes (coral reef and hardbottom, unconsolidated sediment, other delineations, and unknown), to thirteen detailed classes: sand, mud, spur and groove, individual and aggregated patch reef, aggregate reef, scattered coral/rock in unconsolidated sediment, pavement, rock/boulder (volcanic and carbonate), reef rubble, pavement with sand channels, artificial, and unknown.
Lastly, 13 mutually exclusive geographic zones were identified from land to open water corresponding to typical insular shelf and coral reef geomorphology. These zones include: shoreline intertidal, vertical wall (none identified), lagoon, back reef, reef flat, reef crest, fore reef, bank/shelf, bank/shelf escarpment, channel, dredged (since this condition eliminates natural geomorphology), unknown, and land. Zone refers only to each benthic community's location and does not address substrate or cover types within. For example, the lagoon zone may include patch reefs, sand, and seagrass beds; however, these are considered structural elements that may or may not occur within the lagoon zone and therefore, are not used to define it.Earth Science > Biological Classification > Plants > Angiosperms (Flowering Plants) > Monocots > SeagrassEarth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Benthic HabitatEarth Science > Biosphere > VegetationEarth Science > Land Surface > Geomorphology > Coastal Landforms/ProcessesEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral Reefs > Patch ReefOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > ManuaOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > OfuOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > OlosegaOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > Tauoceansbiotaurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-169.696717715253 -14.2835586198492-169.411092829164 -14.1476906166133PACIOOS:as_noaa_ros_benthic_habitatsNOAA Shallow-Water Benthic Habitats: American Samoa: Rose AtollBenthic habitat maps for the nearshore, shallow (< 30 m) coastal waters of Rose Atoll in American Samoa.

NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) produced these data to support coral reef research and management. Habitat regions were digitally identified using visual interpretation of orthorectified satellite imagery with a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of approximately 1 acre. Includes biological cover types, geomorphological structure types, and geographic zones.
Eighteen distinct and non-overlapping biological cover types were identified. Habitats or features that cover areas smaller than the minimal mapping unit of 1 acre were not considered. For example, uncolonized sand halos surrounding coral patch reefs are too small to be mapped independently. Cover type refers only to the predominant biological component colonizing the surface of the feature and does not address location (e.g., on the shelf or in the lagoon). The cover types are defined in a collapsible hierarchy ranging from eight major classes (live coral, seagrass, macroalgae, encrusting/coralline algae, turf algae, emergent vegetation, uncolonized, and unknown), combined with a density modifier representing the percentage of the predominant cover type (10%-<50% sparse, 50%-<90% patchy, 90%-100% continuous).
Similarly, 14 distinct and non-overlapping geomorphological structure types were identified. The structure types are defined in a collapsible hierarchy ranging from four major classes (coral reef and hardbottom, unconsolidated sediment, other delineations, and unknown), to thirteen detailed classes: sand, mud, spur and groove, individual and aggregated patch reef, aggregate reef, scattered coral/rock in unconsolidated sediment, pavement, rock/boulder (volcanic and carbonate), reef rubble, pavement with sand channels, artificial, and unknown.
Lastly, 13 mutually exclusive geographic zones were identified from land to open water corresponding to typical insular shelf and coral reef geomorphology. These zones include: shoreline intertidal, vertical wall (none identified), lagoon, back reef, reef flat, reef crest, fore reef, bank/shelf, bank/shelf escarpment, channel, dredged (since this condition eliminates natural geomorphology), unknown, and land.

NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) produced these data to support coral reef research and management. Habitat regions were digitally identified using visual interpretation of orthorectified satellite imagery with a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of approximately 1 acre. Includes biological cover types, geomorphological structure types, and geographic zones.
Eighteen distinct and non-overlapping biological cover types were identified. Habitats or features that cover areas smaller than the minimal mapping unit of 1 acre were not considered. For example, uncolonized sand halos surrounding coral patch reefs are too small to be mapped independently. Cover type refers only to the predominant biological component colonizing the surface of the feature and does not address location (e.g., on the shelf or in the lagoon). The cover types are defined in a collapsible hierarchy ranging from eight major classes (live coral, seagrass, macroalgae, encrusting/coralline algae, turf algae, emergent vegetation, uncolonized, and unknown), combined with a density modifier representing the percentage of the predominant cover type (10%-<50% sparse, 50%-<90% patchy, 90%-100% continuous).
Similarly, 14 distinct and non-overlapping geomorphological structure types were identified. The structure types are defined in a collapsible hierarchy ranging from four major classes (coral reef and hardbottom, unconsolidated sediment, other delineations, and unknown), to thirteen detailed classes: sand, mud, spur and groove, individual and aggregated patch reef, aggregate reef, scattered coral/rock in unconsolidated sediment, pavement, rock/boulder (volcanic and carbonate), reef rubble, pavement with sand channels, artificial, and unknown.
Lastly, 13 mutually exclusive geographic zones were identified from land to open water corresponding to typical insular shelf and coral reef geomorphology. These zones include: shoreline intertidal, vertical wall (none identified), lagoon, back reef, reef flat, reef crest, fore reef, bank/shelf, bank/shelf escarpment, channel, dredged (since this condition eliminates natural geomorphology), unknown, and land. Zone refers only to each benthic community's location and does not address substrate or cover types within. For example, the lagoon zone may include patch reefs, sand, and seagrass beds; however, these are considered structural elements that may or may not occur within the lagoon zone and therefore, are not used to define it.Earth Science > Biological Classification > Plants > Angiosperms (Flowering Plants) > Monocots > SeagrassEarth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Benthic HabitatEarth Science > Biosphere > VegetationEarth Science > Land Surface > Geomorphology > Coastal Landforms/ProcessesEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral ReefsEarth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral Reefs > Patch ReefoceansbiotaOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Palauurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326134.114351433314 6.8846870560915134.727844209799 8.21777490069951PACIOOS:hi_cred_all_rea_sitesNOAA/PIFSC Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) Reef Fish Survey Locations: Main Hawaiian IslandsTo support a long-term NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) for sustainable management and conservation of coral reef ecosystems, reef fish assessment surveys are conducted as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments (REA) during Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP) cruises in the Main Hawaiian Islands region by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC). REA is a useful method for gathering data pertaining to ecologically significant biological components of a reef habitat over small spatial scales. Because the method provides a quick "snapshot" of major reef biota during a single dive or snorkel survey, it is particularly useful in assessing remote areas that are only rarely visited and where little time can be spent. Surveys are conducted along a set of transect lines. With their high level of taxonomic resolution over small spatial scales, REAs are a good complement to towed diver surveys, which are conducted over larger spatial scales but with a lower level of taxonomic resolution.

This method involves towing two divers (one collecting fish data, the other collecting benthic data) behind a small surface craft that is moving at a velocity of 1-2 mph. Although the driver of the surface craft attempts to follow a depth contour, the divers also actively maneuver the "towboards" they are holding onto so as to maintain a relatively constant elevation above the surface of the reef. Towed-diver surveys are typically 50 min long and cover about 2-3 km of habitat.

These monitoring sites are located within nearshore waters of the following National Parks:
* Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (NHP) on the western shore of Hawaii Island (Big Island)
* Kalaupapa National Historical Park (NHP) on the nothern shore of Molokai in Hawaii
* War in the Pacific National Historical Park (NHP) on the western shore of Guam
* National Park (NP) of American Samoa on the northern shore of Tutuila
The benthic marine community within PACN is a complex ecologic system and a diverse taxonomic environment, including algae and corals and other invertebrates. Reef-building corals are the primary architectural organism and are sensitive to environmental degradation; therefore, they are a good indicator of overall health for nearshore marine ecosystems. Primary stressors to coral reefs include disease, bleaching, sedimentation, eutrophication, storms, and global climate change. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has proposed using coral reefs as a worldwide indicator ecosystem for global climate change (Spalding et al. 2004). For these reasons, the PACN has chosen to implement long-term monitoring of benthic marine communities. Benthic marine communities are most closely linked with marine fish, and monitoring efforts will be conducted at the same time and location to maximize data value.
Fish are a major component of coral reef ecosystems. This highly diverse assemblage of carnivores, planktivores, herbivores, and detritovores serves a variety of ecological functions. Fish affect ecosystem structure, productivity, and sustainability. Selected species can act as indicators of general reef health, environmental stress, and potential ecosystem changes. Fishing is increasingly recognized as a principal threat to Pacific Ocean coral reefs and other marine ecosystems worldwide. In this respect, it is highly probable that most of the Pacific island national parks can be categorized as "impaired" to "seriously impaired" in terms of their fish communities. While the harvest of fish and other marine creatures will be addressed in a separate (fisheries-dependent) monitoring protocol, data collected through PACN marine fish monitoring contributes to the overall fish analyses by providing an in-water (fisheries-independent) assessment of the size and abundance of species within park waters.Earth Science > Biological Classification > Animals/Vertebrates > FishEarth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Reef HabitatEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Governance/Management > Environmental AssessmentsEarth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > FisheriesEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral ReefsContinent > North America > United States Of America > HawaiiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > MolokaiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Big IslandOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Hawaii IslandOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > GuamOcean > Pacific Ocean > South Pacific Ocean > Polynesia > American Samoa > TutuilaEarth Science > Oceans > Marine Environment Monitoringbiotaoceansenvironmentfarmingurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-170.72420557 -14.28128449144.73060997 21.21557093PACIOOS:hi_sohdop_oahu_paiko_sanctuaryPaiko Lagoon Marine Wildlife Sanctuary - Oahu, HawaiiBoundary of the Paiko Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary.

It is home to extensive coral reefs harboring over 7,000 marine species, one quarter of which are found only in Hawaii. Many of the islands and shallow water environments are important habitats for rare species such as the threatened green sea turtle and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Significant cultural Native Hawaiian sites can also be found on the islands of Nihoa and Mokumanamana (Necker Island). Co-managed with the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of the Interior, the monument preserves one of the most untouched areas of coral reef in the world.

Both polygon and polyline formats are provided for this dataset because the monument boundary spans the antimeridian (+/-180 degrees longitude) making it difficult to display in many GIS software applications without showing a division at the antimeridian.Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Boundaries > Administrative DivisionsEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Governance/ManagementEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Impacts ConservationContinent > North America > United States Of America > HawaiiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Northwestern Hawaiian Islandsenvironmentboundariesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-180.0 19.2382499277180.0 31.7978661712PACIOOS:hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea_2006Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM), 2006-2016 - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI)Boundary of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM), located in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Created in 2006, Papahanaumokuakea is the largest conservation area in the U.S. and one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world. It is home to extensive coral reefs harboring over 7,000 marine species, one quarter of which are found only in Hawaii. Many of the islands and shallow water environments are important habitats for rare species such as the threatened green sea turtle and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Significant cultural Native Hawaiian sites can also be found on the islands of Nihoa and Mokumanamana (Necker Island). Co-managed with the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of the Interior, the monument preserves one of the most untouched areas of coral reef in the world.
This layer shows the PMNM boundary prior to its expansion in 2016. On August 26, 2016, President Obama signed a proclamation expanding the monument from 139,797 square miles (362,073 square kilometers) to 582,578 square miles (1,508,870 square kilometers). This extended the monument boundary westward of -163 degrees longitude out to Hawaii's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) at 200 nautical miles offshore. The present layer shows the monument boundary as it existed *before* this expansion. To view the expanded boundary, access the data layers for "hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea" or "hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea_line" instead.Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Boundaries > Administrative DivisionsEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Governance/ManagementEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Impacts ConservationContinent > North America > United States Of America > HawaiiOcean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Northwestern Hawaiian Islandsenvironmentboundariesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-179.27432 22.22343-161.0173 29.25614PACIOOS:gu_yl_all_parksPark Locations - GuamParks locations in Guam, Mariana IslandsEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Infrastructure > Cultural FeaturesEarth Science > Human Dimensions > Social Behavior > Recreational Activities/AreasEarth Science Services > Reference And Information Services > GazetteerOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Guamsocietyeconomylocationurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326144.656 13.269144.884 13.544PACIOOS:mh_mgd_all_passesPasses - Marshall IslandsPasses - Marshall IslandsEarth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > PassesOcean > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Micronesia > Marshall Islands > Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)oceansurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326160.87 4.6172.13 14.621PACIOOS:hi_sohdop_oahu_piersPiers - Oahu, HawaiiDisplays the locations of two piers for the State of Hawaii.

This scenario was derived using a National Geospatial Agency (NGA)-provided digital elevation model (DEM) based on LiDAR data of the Honolulu area collected in 2009. This "bare earth" DEM (vegetation and structures removed) was used to represent the current topography of the study area above zero elevation for the urban corridor stretching from Honolulu International Airport to Waikiki and Diamond Head along the south shore of Oahu. The accuracy of the DEM was validated using a selection of 16 Tidal Benchmarks located within the study area. The single value tidal water surface of mean higher high water (MHHW) modeled at the Honolulu tide gauge was used to represent sea level for the purposes of this study. Water levels are shown as they would appear during the highest high tides (excluding wind-driven tides).

Data accessed from the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program.
Arcs were extracted from the 1983 USGS Digital Line Graphs (DLG) hydrography layers based on the State of Hawaii Commission on Water Resources Management (CWRM) Hawaii Stream Assessment (HSA) maps and database, then coded with the HSA stream code, and the HSA stream name (1993). The State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) added additional streams from the DLG hydrography layer, and added additional attribute data.
Further additions, refinement, and editing were completed by DAR in 2003, 2004. Additional streams were added and coded (NON-PERENNIAL) in 2005.
The State of Hawaii Office of Planning (OP) Staff standardized and re-ordered attributes and merged individual island shapefiles into one statewide shapefile in March, 2005. Note: Not all items are populated / assigned for each stream. For example, streams that were not part of the Hawaii Stream Assessment do not have an HSA Code.
Update received from CWRM and DAR, 2013 (Data current to March, 2008).

In Hawaii, TNC has worked with partners and members for 30 years to protect more than one million acres of critical natural lands. The TNC Hawaii Marine Program was launched in 2001 to restore and protect the near-shore coral reefs and marine resources surrounding Hawaii. With the help of local communities and conservation partners, TNC monitors the health and abundance of Hawaii's marine resources to identify major threats and develop strategies for protection. This map shows general areas in Hawaii where TNC has focused its marine monitoring efforts.

In order to validate the site-specific, short-term forecasts and to determine meaningful thresholds associated with each forecast domain, citizen scientists contribute crowd-sourced photographs by documenting the shoreline of West Maui during predicted wave run-up events. Photos, observations, date, time, location, and other metadata are submitted online in this free, publicy-accessible dataset.
Site-specific, short- and long-term forecasts, will strengthen West Maui's coastal community and economy by enhancing preparedness and response operations, and by informing future land use planning. A combination of high water levels and large wave swells can result in significant coastal erosion, damage to infrastructure and properties, and land-based sedimentation that impairs coastal water quality. The State of Hawaii has experienced an increase in wave plus tide-driven flooding in recent years, and these events are expected to grow in numbers and duration due to sea level rise and changing wave energies.
