Eddys, wind)
• HIHWNMS:
– know ecosystems info to access the aquaculture info
– Community-based component to engage groups
– Where vessel traffic is & where whale density is to reduce
residential impact
Top Priorities for HiOOS Cont.
• State Civil Defense:
– wind design, modeling, and topographic effects on homes
& shelters (willing to share info) – SCD
– LIDAR Info: inundation studies (info x-change)
– SCD can provide some funding support (NOAA & STATE)
– water quality monitoring after storms
– need to pursue support from State Legislature w/strategy
and plan
• County of Hawaii Planning Department:

– erosion along cliffs, subsidence, erosion rates
– long term water quality trends
Top Priorities for HiOOS Cont.
• Marine and Coastal Solutions International:
– Coastal Landowners: Water Quality data for SMAs (making data
available)
– Malama Kai Foundation: Guide books to learn about dive sites to
learn about buoy – opportunity to educate stakeholders
– West HI regional fishery management area: use HiOOS products to
train community
– Info on temperature/depth and currents in area of pipeline
– Data limitation stated up front and reflected on website
• Hawaii County Fire Department:
– Search and Rescue Perspective: to understand local currents around
islands

– Take advantage of physical modeling & combined w/water
quality data
– Mechanical to deal with very near shore water quality (jet
skis)
• Lifeguards at beaches?
What group can provide to HiOOS
• Or, what does the group have available to share with
other stakeholders?
• Marine and Coastal Solutions International:
