More DescriptionThis report is an assessment of the current natural resource conditions within Kalaupapa National Historic Park (KALA). This report will summarize: 1) condition/ecological status of the terrestrial, freshwater, and marine resources at the park based on available surveys; 2) existing and emerging threats or stressors that act on those resources; and 3) important information gaps and recommended future studies that address additional information needs (e.g., condition of park natural resources, known threats, and unacceptable conditions). An important component of the report is the development of a geographical information system (GIS) data base which assembles geospatial data layers to provide an integrated measure of current park resource conditions relative to National Park Service (NPS) Vital Signs indicators or other relevant indicators of resource conditions.
