HONOLULU - Commercial fishing has sharply depleted numbers of several species in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and threatens the health of the pristine island chain's ecosystem, according to a private study released Monday. Populations of the opakapaka, or Hawaiian pink snapper, have plummeted 90 percent in 10 years, according to the Ocean Conservancy and the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. Stocks of the hapu'upu'u, or the Hawaiian grouper, have sunk 64 percent over the same period in the 1,200 miles of islands and atolls northwest of Kauai, according to the study. "There is little doubt they are being depleted far below a state of ecological health," said Dennis Heinemann, one of the study's authors. Fishery council disagrees The federal body responsible for fishing rules around the island chain criticized the study as biased against fishing. The study used simple proxies rather than true estimates of fish populations, said Paul Dalzell, the senior scientist for the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council. "That is a selective and partisan use of the information by the organizations," he said. "It is not a peer-reviewed scientific publication. It is purely their own interpretation of the information." Nine bottomfishers working around the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, primarily in federal waters, bring in a catch worth about $1.5 million each year. Refuge created Last month, Gov. Linda Lingle declared state waters around the islands a marine refuge and banned fishing three miles from the islands' shorelines. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is planning to designate the area the country's 14th National Marine Sanctuary and U.S. Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii, has proposed banning fishing in the area. The fishing report is online at www.oceanconservancy.org . 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Built in 1899 on Reed's Island, on the lush green side of Hawai`i Island, it is one of the state's few remaining Victorian mansions. Hilo's most photographed residence, the recently renovated "castle" sits high on a ridge overlooking a deep gulch lined with magnificent stands of palms, bamboo and ferns. Much of the original furniture remains in the house, which included a double parlor, library, dining room, conservatory, billiard room, and a second floor ballroom (now guestrooms). In the afternoon, guests may enjoy cold lemonade on the lanai overlooking Hilo Bay, just as the Shipman family did. The library is also available, as is the 1912 Steinway concert grand piano. The porte-cochere's high step accommodated turn-of-the-century horse-and-carriage passengers. Shipman House is the perfect inn for guests who love the history, gardens and comfortable living of Old Hawai`i. As Hilo's best accommodation, Shipman House offers the gracious, unpretentious hospitality of a fifth generation Island family in a home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At Shipman House guests are invited to: * Sleep where Jack London slept. * Bathe in oversized tubs. * Play the same piano Hawai`i's last queen, Lili`uokalani, played * Walk on honey-colored, old growth fir floors beneath 12-foot ceilings. * Read the travel books of a century ago. * Gaze through curved windows of hand-rolled glass. * Relax among furnishings of Hawai`i's monarchy era. * Taste tropical fruits, backyard-fresh Shipman House Details: The mansion is Hilo's Historic Accommodation and is listed on both the State of Hawai`i and National Registers. The home offers 5 Bedrooms, each with private bath. Shipman House is open all year. The Grounds Explore the grounds, see the waterfall. The Shipmans were avid plant collectors, and the 5.5-acre grounds are planted with a wide variety of palms, ferns, and other tropicals, including the Shipman Pink anthurium. Willie and Mary's youngest son, Herbert C. Shipman, brought the first orchid plants to the Island of Hawaii, now nicknamed the Orchid Isle. He also saved the nene [pronounced nay-nay], the Hawaiian goose, from extinction. Today there are over 20 varieties of fruit trees on the property, numerous varieties of bananas, pineapples, taro, and even a small coffee plantation. Fruits in season appear on the breakfast buffet, and exotic flowers from the garden grace the house and guest rooms. History In 1901, W.H. ("Willie") Shipman bought the mansion as a surprise for his beloved wife, Mary Kahiwaaiali`i Johnson Shipman, who wanted it so badly she could hardly stand it. He did not tell her about it for a month. He paid $13,000. The seller made a profit. Mary's grandmother was a Hawaiian of high rank, and her grandfather was one of the first white men to stay in Hawai`i. Willie, a cattle rancher, had missionary parents. Mary, known for her gracious hospitality, counted among her guests her friend, Hawai`i's last queen, Lili`uokalani, and author Jack London, who stayed for a month with his wife Charmian. As quoted by his wife, Jack London said, "To me, Mother Shipman is the First Lady of Hawaii." Liliuokalani would enjoy a poi luncheon here, then play the Steinway concert grand piano as she enjoyed a cigar. Your Hosts In 1993, the Shipmans' great-granddaughter and her husband, Barbara Ann and Gary Andersen, returned to Hilo to purchase and renovate the family home. They continue the tradition of old Hawaiian hospitality as they open their historic home and guesthouse to bed and breakfast guests. Let your host share memories and family anecdotes with you during the Grand Tour of the mansion and the gardens. Barbara and her sister spent a part of every summer with their great-aunts at the house, weeding the cutting garden, riding wheelbarrows down rolling green lawns, arranging flowers, making plum jam, bathing in claw-foot tubs, and sleeping in four-poster beds. Barbara and Gary say they love this side of the island, and enthusiastically share its beauty, history, special nooks and crannies with any and all newcomers. This part of Hawai`i is so often overlooked by travelers and travel agents, yet it has an "old Hawai`i" charm which most visitors really enjoy. The Bedrooms All five guest bedrooms are large, with 10 to 12 ft. ceilings, private baths, small refrigerators, cotton kimonos, heirloom furnishings, hand-woven lauhala mats, fans and fresh flowers. The Main House offers Three Rooms: ~ Flossie's Willow Bough: On the first floor, adjoining the library, with antique koa twin beds, ceiling fan, and private bath with shower/tub. It opens onto the wraparound veranda through an unusual window-door and tall shutters. Originally a billiard room, this is the room Charmian and Jack London stayed in. $154/night ~ Auntie Clara's Shell Room: Upstairs, with parts of her shell collection, koa furniture, and a queen-size bed. Spectacular view of Hilo Bay. Its large private bath, adjacent in the hall, with claw foot tub and separate shower, was the only bathroom in the original house. It is not shared with anyone. Hear Waikapu ("forbidden spring") Stream running through the gulch below. $184/night ~ Auntie Carrie's Room: Upstairs, one-third of the original ballroom, it overlooks the expansive side/backyard. It adjoins the upstairs porch, and has a private bath (shower/tub) en suite, small sitting area and antique koa queen-size bed with feather mattress. $164/night ~ Cottage Mauka and Cottage Makai are the two (separate) spacious bedrooms upstairs in the 1910 guesthouse, across the driveway. They have queen-size beds, window seats and private baths (shower/tubs). Private entrances and ceiling fans. No kitchens. The headboards in these rooms are from the bed Jack London slept on when he stayed for a month in 1907. A broad, shared, screened lanai and an interior door separate/connect the two bedrooms. Surrounded by trees, lawn, and birds. $164/night per room. Breakfast A glorious celebration of Island foods not usually available to visitors, is served outside on the lanai. A typical continental buffet may have macadamia nut granola, assorted local fruits in season (there are 20 varieties of fruit trees on the property), fruit juices, Kona coffee, special breads or muffins. When available, we may add baked bananas, hashed brown taro, or breadfruit. BREAKFAST HOURS 7:45-9:00 a.m., (or earlier with notice). Anyone having dietary restrictions or food allergies can request, ahead of time, a different menu. The Shipman House staff tries to accommodate special diets (with sufficient notice).

Molokai. Here we call

Molokai - A guide to the most hawaiian island - Photo Tour 5 Kamakou & the Backside Geologists tell us that, at one time, there was a much gentler slope to the terrain on the north shore of Molokai. Here we call it "The Backside." The precipitous cliffs evident today resulted from a landslide of enormous proportions. Evidently the continuously pounding surf on this shore, over a gazillion years, undercut the land until one day, Splash! Huge pieces of the island fell off into the Pacific, leaving behind the world's highest sea cliffs which have been beautifully sculpted over the millennia by rain, wind and waves. At the highest point, the pali (cliffs in Hawaiian) is 2,600' (793m) from top to sea level. The photo above shows a small part of the pali looking west toward Kalawao on the Makanalua peninsula. Notice the triangle shaped moku (island) at the right center. That same moku is at the left center of this photo looking east from Kalawao on the peninsula. Historians claim that, in ancient times, most of the valleys along the north shore were well populated. Today, however, only a few accept the challenges and difficulties inherent in making this part of Molokai their year-round home. Outside supplies can only be brought in by boat, during the summer, when the ocean is calm or on foot over the mountain from the south side of the island. Near the top of the eastern Molokai mountain, is the 2,774 acre (1123ha) Kamakou Preserve. Here you will find more than 250 species of Hawaiian plants, at least 219 of which can be found nowhere else in the world, plus a variety of extremely rare Hawaiian birds. From the preserve, the grandeur of the north shore valleys can be appreciated as they stretch toward to the Pacific. In 1982, Molokai Ranch granted a conservation easement to The Nature Conservancy to restore the area and protect it. Access to Kamakou Preserve is available through monthly, guided hikes. Advance reservations with The Nature Conservancy office on Moloka`i are required. While the boardwalks of Atlantic City or Santa Cruz may be wider and more famous, the Kamakou boardwalk is certainly unique. It snakes through the rain forest and offers fortunate hikers a glimpse of Mother Nature's handiwork that can only be found on Molokai. Every trip to the back side offers a new look at this spectacular area. While the pali and mountain are the same, time of day, season, surf and weather conditions combine to create new panoramas. As if it were a different island, here, sea spray and early morning light create a breathtaking, almost surreal vista.
