  3. Key Questions • What and where are the major components of the water balance of the region (inputs/ processes/ outputs)? • How do we help to understand the value and function of the forest? • How do we articulate and better inform land managers and the public in their decision-making? • How do we state the obvious, in plain language?

  4. Haumea Doctrines & Disciplines Kumokuhali`i “Rising up from the land to cover it” “Vertical & Horizontal Structure” Primary Element of Water Capture

  5. Ecosystem Services • Value = “Waiwai” (based upon water) • Laws/ Rules: “Kanawai” (bound by water) • KīhoʻihoʻiKanawai (Allowing restoration of a changed area) • Kua ‘ā Kanawai (preserve natural processes) • Kai OkiaKanawai (Buffer natural process areas) • Map and classify these areas

  6. Economic Valuation & Tradeoffs Identifying the services valuable in native Hawaiian terms Valuing those services in terms relevant to local decision-making

  7. Next Steps • Quantify and describe hydrologic processes • Map vegetation/ hydrologic connectivity • Develop valuation platform based on Kanawai • Develop a quantitative/ qualitative decision tool for land managers (based on available information)
