Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef

Aloha! Welcome to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve Aloha! Welcome to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve The Executive Orders On December 4, 2000, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve (Reserve) was created by Executive Order 13178. The Reserve encompasses an area of the marine waters and submerged lands of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands extending approximately 1200 nautical miles long and 100 nautical miles wide. As part of the establishment of the Reserve, Executive Order 13178 contains conservation measures that restrict some activities throughout the Reserve, and establishes Reserve Preservation Areas around certain islands, atolls and banks where all consumptive or extractive uses are prohibited. A 30 day public comment period was initiated to receive comments regarding whether to make permanent the Reserve Preservation Areas. Comments were also requested on the conservation measures for the Reserve. On January 18, 2001, after the close of the 30 day comment period, the process and establishment of the Reserve was finalized by issuance of Executive Order 13196. This Executive Order modified Executive Order 13178 by revising certain conservation measures and making permanent the Reserve Preservation Areas with modifications. With this action, the establishment of the Reserve, including the conservation measures and permanent Reserve Preservation Areas, was completed. Executive Order 13178 Executive Order 13196: Amendment to Executive Order 13178 Summary of changes to E.O. 13178 Next Steps: The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) is working with the Reserve staff to develop the Reserve Operations Plan (ROP). In developing the ROP, NMSP sought recommendations from the Reserve Advisory Council and consulted with the State of Hawaii and the Department of the Interior. In addition, the Reserve and the NMSP have begun the process to designate the Reserve as a National Marine Sanctuary under the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. Scoping meetings were held in April of 2002 to collect public commentary on Sanctuary Designation, and the Reserve staff is currently working with the Reserve Advisory Council to synthesize and prioritize the comments collected.

( more info ) Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar, Vol. 1 Various Artists On October 14, 2003, a new era of slack key music began on Maui. On that Tuesday evening, Cyril Pahinui performed for an enthralled audience at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua. Hosted by George Kahumoku, Jr., the show featured not only music, but the story behind slack key. George and Cyril played music together and talked story with the audience. Those who attended felt as if they had been invited to a Hawaiian back yard. And not just any back yard, but that of some of the greatest slack key masters ever to perform. Thus was born the Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Concert Series, the new home of slack key music in Hawai'i. In this first album of live music from the shows, we present a compilation of music by Hawai'i's top slack key artists. The Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Concert Series continues weekly in the theater at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua on the island of Maui. ( more info ) 1. Ekolu " Ekolu Music " 2.
