Summary:
The Natural Resources Management Plan (NRMP) is based on a scientific framework that includes comprehensive review of existing scientific studies, biological inventories, and historical documentation that identifies the current state of knowledge of resources and management activities and the effectiveness of current management actions. Community consultation was also part of the process, with surveys, email and phone interviews, and meetings held in Hilo and Honolulu to gather input from scientific experts, natural resource managers, and concerned members of the public. The NRMP examines human uses of the area, with particular emphasis on their current and potential impacts on natural resources. This plan offers specific management actions to reduce the identified threats to natural resources and to guide adaptive responses to future threats. It also details a process for establishing and implementing a natural resources management program. The implementation plan reflects the input of multiple stakeholders, each of which sees different challenges and opportunities related to the management of Mauna Kea’s natural resources.
