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. This site will look much better in a browser that supports web standards , but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device. please scroll down to view the web page home overview results study sites bibliography search Manele-Hulopoe Shipwreck Home > Study Sites > Lanai Island of Lanai CRAMP is not monitoring any sites on Lanai at thepresent time. 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.

Hawaiian Jewelry

Hawaiian Dresses and Hawaiian Shirts for the Whole `Ohana! Pa`inaGirl.com specializes in cute Hawaiian dresses. Our Hawaiian dresses are popular choices for informal beach wedding dresses or affordable bridesmaid dresses and range from fun and flirty to casual elegant. Hawaiian dresses and matching shirts can be worn for all occasions; our matching aloha prints can be used for parties, family photos and luaus, unique bridal wear, company events, and of course just for fun. In fact, our resort wear has been very popular for beach wedding dresses or garden wedding dresses since they are so comfortable and pretty, too! (Matching the guys in Hawaiian shirts is always a nice touch, too, even if you are just attending a party and are not in the party!) We are located on the island of O`ahu, nicknamed "the Gathering Place," as most of the population in Hawaii lives and works here. Even though it's cold out, why not take a trip to the islands, even if only in your mind? You'll be warmed by the thought! Locals here in Hawaii have been enjoying the comfort and style of "alohawear" since the 1930s, but the popularity of its bright colors and prints has caught on everywhere. Perhaps it's because of the happy feelings these friendly prints evoke -- put on some alohawear and you can't help but feel as though you're on vacation in paradise! The modern Hawaiian dress is actually something of a new phenomenon for the ladies -- in previous years, the "hawaiian dress" was usually a very conservative mu`umu`u -- definitely not very provocative (however, island women and girls do still wear mu`umu`us on Aloha Friday!). HEY HULA GALS! Looking for hula costumes? Check out our hula store at HulaStuff.com for muumuus, pa`u skirts, coconut bras and more. PA`INA PEEPS! Some of our model friends are something of celebrities in Hawaii. Check out the gallery. Currently in our Hawaii celebrities gallery: Miss Hawaii 2002 Kehaulani Christian, Actress and model Sondra Barker, former UH Football Offensive Assistant Tyson Helton, Island entertainer Jon Yamasato and former UH record-breaking quarterback Nick Rolovich. Cool and hip aloha shirts always abounded for the guys, but stylish island girls found it hard and frustrating to express their Hawaiian style in a feminine way. Only in recent years have aloha wear makers finally caught on and realized that sexy Hawaiian dresses belong in every island girl's closet! You can take the girl from the island... but not the island from the girl! From silky, elegant matching resort wear to bold, fun Hawaiian print dresses, we've got a range of high quality clothing appropriate for every occasion. Let your 'ohana stand out with colorful matching Hawaiian attire --- whether your 'ohana is made up of you and your significant other, co-workers, family, or close friends. Pa`ina means "party" in Hawaiian, so get into the party mood with some great clothes! If you're planning a Hawaiian style luau, complete your theme with some colorful Hawaiian dresses and the essential matching Hawaiian shirts from our Bold and Fun Hawaiian Dresses and Shirts Collection They are made of high quality cotton and can be conveniently machine-washed. Our Matching Resort Wear sets make great informal wedding dresses and shirts if you're planning a Hawaiian or beach theme wedding.
