Summary
This dataset contains information regarding where management should prioritize conservation efforts in the Hawaiian Island of Maui given current conditions and projected future conditions due to climate change. This dataset is an aggregation of many different datasets looking at the ecological and socio-cultural information inland and around the coast of the island.
Summary
This dataset contains information regarding where management should prioritize conservation efforts in the Hawaiian Island of Maui given current conditions and projected future conditions due to climate change. This dataset is an aggregation of many different datasets looking at the ecological and socio-cultural information inland and around the coast of the island.
Generating this dataset allows us to understand how one can efficiently manage the island's resources both now and in the future by accounting for the ridge-to-reef systems present. Furthermore, this dataset highlights how one can include natural and socio-cultural influences on habitat conditions and their values in order to provides opportunities to strategically plan future management and conservation actions.
