About
On April 21st, 2015 President
Obama recognized Hawaiʿi as one of seven places from across the nation where
successful partnerships are working to improve the climate resilience of
landscapes and seascapes in the face of climate change.
The Resilient Lands and Waters initiative is a key part of the
Administration’s Climate and Natural
Resources Priority Agenda, a comprehensive commitment across the Federal
Government to support resilience of America’s vital natural
resources.
Sites
Three sites across the state were chosen for the RLW Initiative: He'eia (O'ahu), West Maui and West Hawai’i. These three landscape priority areas have ongoing and active management schemes in place with participation from an extensive list of federal, state, and local government agencies as well as community and non-profit organizations. All three locations in Hawai’i are designated as priority locations by the State of Hawai‘i or NOAA.
The Resilient Lands and Waters Initiative project in Hawaii aimed to demonstrate the benefits of landscape-scale approaches to conservation and management that contribute to climate resilience by building upon the existing collaborative inter-agency partnerships. The data and information contained in these maps illustrate scientific studies conducted throughout the three RLW site in Hawaii as well as current efforts to create more resilient landscapes.
