8:00am-12:00pm
Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa (2552 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu) Mahalo to all of you who participated in the roll-out event for the Hawaii Marine Debris Action Plan! The event was a huge success with over 70 elected officials and partners represented in the room -- several flying in from the neighbor islands just for this event. I know there were many other partners who were not able to make it, but were there with us "in spirit" :).

NOAA Sanctuary Conference Room | 6600 Kalanianaole Highway, 3rd Floor, Honolulu, HI 96825 Nearly 30 partners joined in for the last workshop to finalize the Hawaii Marine Debris Action Plan. Everyone's input and assistance in honing and improving the results chains helps to truly create a plan that is not only comprehensive and inclusive, but also dynamic (meaning its strategic actions will be put in motion and the plan itself will not sit on a shelf and collect dust). Mahalo nui loa to those who participated!

HI-MDAP Focus Area Workshops - October 22, November 5 & 14, 2008
Three focus area workshops were held between October and November 2008. Each workshop focused on one or two of the five identified focus areas for the HI-MDAP (listed above). Representatives from all sectors participated in these workshops and crafted objectives for each focus area. Information on past and ongoing activities was gathered so that a record of what was done could be compiled and built upon. New actions were then brainstormed and discussed in detail. Feasible priority actions that could be completed within the next three years were identified. During these meetings, a commitment was made by the group to continue to meet twice a year, implement priority activities, and update the action plan as needed.

Hawaii Marine Debris Workshop - January 16-17, 2008; Final report available (see below)
This workshop brought together 30 representatives from government, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and private businesses working to address the issue of marine debris in Hawai‘i. At this workshop, information on marine debris activities and priorities, in both the main and northwestern Hawaiian Islands, was discussed. Participants identified marine debris actions in five separate areas:
From this workshop, partnerships were created and a commitment made to begin the development of a Hawaii Marine Debris Action Plan. The issue of marine debris has been tackled by organizations in a coordinated way around specific activities (e.g., cleanup of derelict fishing gear in coral reef habitats in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands); however, a coordinated effort and statewide action plan is needed to coordinate priorities and activities across marine debris constituents in Hawaii.
