WHAT IS THE LATEST WITH “30X30”?
We heard a lot of criticism about the “30×30” target. Based on all the candid feedback, DAR is dropping the “30×30” slogan as the stated target for the Holomua Marine Initiative.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Even though the 30% target has been dropped, the Maui pilot process has not. We will continue working with the Maui Navigation Team to develop island-based nearshore management actions that support sustainable fishing practices and healthy reefs.

WHAT ARE DAR’S PLANS FOR THE OTHER ISLANDS?
DAR is committed to continuing co-management collaborations with communities statewide in areas where there is expressed interest. Currently, the Holomua effort is focused on engaging with communities on the island of Maui to develop nearshore management actions with the Maui Navigation Team.

Sample Post: What is the Holomua Community-Based Planning Process?

The Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) launched the Holomua Marine Initiative as a way to work with communities to effectively manage our nearshore marine resources around each main Hawaiian island to ensure that our local resources are available and plentiful today and for future generations. This is a new community-based planning approach designed to ensure local knowledge is guiding marine resource management planning at every step in the process. The planning process was launched on Maui first as a pilot in October 2022. We will continue our commitment to co-management collaborations with communities statewide in areas where there is expressed interest.

STEP 1: Maui’s local communities talk story with each other

STEP 2: The Maui Navigation Team drafts a network of management goals, solutions, and actions

STEP 3: The Maui Navigation Team shares their ideas with the community

STEP 4: The Maui Navigation Team revises ideas based on community feedback and provides proposed management actions to DAR

STEP 5: DAR prepares for statewide public scoping of the Maui Navigation Team’s proposal
