Summary

In this project, we assessed the potential for twelve coastal wetland sites on the island of Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi, to provide socio-cultural resources and habitat for flora and fauna following restoration. In April 2022, a rapid field assessment of hydrology, soils, and vegetation was carried out at each of the wetland sites. In this data release, all the vegetation data collected during the rapid field assessment are provided. The vegetation datasets consist of three spreadsheets found in the "Attached Files" section. Each dataset has its own description.

Purpose

The vegetation data provided here were collected in order to inform a prioritization protocol for ranking wetlands on Molokaʻi for restoration. The plot data, species list, and percent cover of vegetation provide a snapshot of the current plant community structure of each of the wetland sites.
