Maui Coral Reef Recovery Plan March 25th, 2013
Members of the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council are proud to introduce the Maui Coral Reef Recovery Plan - titled "Ola nā Papa i Mālama'ia: A Practical Plan for the Technical and Cultural Restoration of Maui's Coral Reefs."
In 2010, the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council established the Maui Coral Reef Recovery Team composed of community members, scientists and cultural representatives, to develop a results-driven plan for the recovery of Maui's coral reefs.
Based on documented decreases in both coral cover and reef fish populations, the Plan addresses the major causes (i.e., land-based sources of pollution, overfishing, deteriorating water quality, invasive algae, and climate change) of this decline, and increases the adaptability of Maui's reefs to changing climates.
The Plan proposes four goals to be achieved between 2015 and 2025:
1. Provide evidence of coral recovery at selected sites around Maui.
2. Advance knowledge, improve understanding of the state of Maui's coral reef ecosystems, and document coral recovery.
3. Strengthen public awareness regarding the status of threats to and trends facing Maui's coral reefs
4. Strengthen the capacity for effective coral reef management on Maui.
