Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) Marine Monitoring Sites: West Hawaii

The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) is the primary agency responsible for coordinating Hawaii's reef management efforts in the main Hawaiian Islands. The DAR marine monitoring program employs numerous methodologies developed by DAR scientists in collaboration with NOAA, USGS and the University of Hawaii (UH). Specific methods are used at study sites depending on the resource management concerns that DAR is looking to address, and include surveys of abundance of resource and herbivorous fish, smaller cryptic fish and recruits, urchins and larger mobile invertebrates, benthic habitat cover, coral health, and biological diversity. This layer includes the locations of DAR monitoring sites along the west coast of Hawaii Island (Big Island). For further information, please see: http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/coralreefs/monitoring/
