New Website on Hawaii's Critical Watersheds
The Hawai'i Association of Watershed Partnerships (HAWP) debuts its website at www.hawp.org. The website features information on nine statewide Watershed Partnerships and how they are working to conserve Hawaii's forested watersheds. These areas are critical for water recharge, erosion control for keeping oceans healthy, conservation of native habitats and species, and providing educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities for island communities. Information on watershed threats, current management activities making a difference, spectacular photos of unique areas, rare native bird vocalizations, volunteer opportunities and much more can be found on the website. Future plans are to create a virtual watershed tour as well as feature segments such as a day in the life of a watershed field technician.
