Lanai Island of Lanai

Lanai Island CRAMP is developing and applying standard scientific techniques that will enable us to compare the results of many different coral reef studies.

Two sites, however, have been monitored previously. Hulopoe-Manele has been monitored by Dr. Richard Brock and by the State of Hawaii, Division ofAquatic Resources (HDAR) for a number of years. A second site at ShipwreckBeach has been monitored by HDAR. These studies could form abasis for future work on Lanai. View a photo of Lanai and Molokai from space. Geographic Name: Lanai CRAMP site code: La Geographic Location: (20° 50'N, 157° 57'W) Lanai is located west of Maui and approximately 15 km south of Molokai. Physical Features (Physiography): Lanai is the sixth largest of the eightmain Hawaiian Islands with an area of 36,520 ha. Lanai Island is the emergentportion of a single volcano. The highest point is Lanaihale Peak at 1020 m (3370ft). Island slopes on the easterly side are steep and cutby gulches. Western slopes are gentler. The south central portion of the islandbetween elevations of 300 m and 600 m is a flat plain known as the PalawaiBasin, which was the major pineapple-growing region of the island untilrecently. Reef Structure, Habitat Classification: Reef development is best alongthe north and north-east coasts because these areas fall into the "waveshadow" of Molokai and Maui and are partially protected from the winternorth swell. Sandy beaches occur along the he north and northwest coastline.Coral reefs are less developed on the south and west sides of the island due toexposure to the summer south swell. Steep cliffs occur along the west and southcoasts. These are eroding volcanic coastlines due to extreme wave erosion andpresence of deep water offshore. Physical Oceanography: North shores partially protected by Molokai andMaui from winter storm surf. South shores receive full impact of summer southswell. Storm surf from Hurricane Iniki damaged reef communities along the southcoast in September 1992. Recovery of the damaged areas took nearly 5 years. Adjacent Land Tenure, Land Use: Most of the land on Lanai (98%) is ownedby the Castle and Cooke Inc., a privately held company headed by David Murdock.David Murdock has announced plans to build new roads, sidewalks and apartmenthouses on the island ("Massive Investment Planed for Lanai" by FrankCho, Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 19, 2000, p. A1). Approximately one-fifth of the island was formerly undercultivation for pineapple, but economics led to abandonment of pineapple growingand a shift to development of resorts and diversified agriculture. Human Use Patterns: Commercial tours originating on Maui conduct snorkel,SCUBA and fishing excursions to Lanai. Increased resort development is leadingto more frequent use by visitors and residents on Lanai. Private boats fromvarious islands frequent Manele Harbor and visit various sites along the Lanaicoastline. Sustenance fishing and gathering of seaweed and opihi (limpets) is acommon activity by local residents. Economic Value and Social Benefits: The recent phasing out of pineappleand shift toward resort development places increased economic value on the reefsas resource for tourist development. Some of the best diving in Hawaiian watersis found off Lanai, which is a regular destination for many diving and fishingcharters coming from Maui. Large beds of the black corals Antipathesdichotoma and Antipathes grandis occur at depths of 40 m to 110 m offthe north coast. Status (Degree of Legal Protection): Open access for most of thecoastline. The submerged lands and overlying waters of Hulopoe Bay and ManeleBay are regulated as a Marine Life Conservation District. Manele Boat Harbor hasbeen designated as a Marine Fisheries Management Area. Management Concerns: The major focus is on human use, especially inthose areas with good reef development. Concern over exploitation of the richreef areas of Hulopoe and Manele Bays led to declaration of Hulopoe Bay andManele Bay as Marine Life Conservation Districts (MLCDs) in 1976. With thedemise of pineapple growing and the shift to resort and residential development, there isincreasing focus on effects of increasing human contact with the reefs andincreasing resort development. The rich reefs of Lanai are increasingly beingvisited by excursion boats from Maui.

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.
