Community-Based Resource Management
The goal of this project is to refine and institutionalize an integrated planning approach for the Hawai‘i CZM Program to move the State towards the vision portrayed the Ocean Resources Management Plan. The vision is natural and cultural resource management that is grounded by the place, the culture, and the community.
To move the State towards this goal, CZM developed an inventory of community stewardship groups in Hawai‘i and conducted a survey of these groups on their challenges, needs, best practices, successful projects, and institutional resources. The information gathered through the survey was used to develop principles that will guide the State toward place-, cultural-, and community-based approaches to natural and cultural resource management.
A workshop of representatives from participating groups was held in January 2008, to build capacity and develop implementation options associated with each principle. The resulting draft framework, consisting of the principles and accompanying implementation options, is included in the final Hawai‘i Community Stewardship Report (available below). Other deliverables included in the final report include a survey summary report and a workshop summary report.
The Hawai‘i Community Stewardship Directory is another result of the survey and workshop held in 2008. CZM is currently updating the directory for 2011. The 2010 version of the Directory (available for download below) currently includes 114 community-based organizations. Community stewardship groups that would like to update their information or be added to the directory may fill out the 2011 Hawai‘i Community Stewardship Directory Form and click SUBMIT by May 6, 2011.
CZM is interested in learning about the capacity-building needs for local community stewardship groups. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or specific needs that could be addressed with help from the Hawai‘i CZM Program, please contact Melissa Iwamoto by email at miwamoto@dbedt.hawaii.gov or by phone at (808) 587-2845.
