Title: "Many Faces of Mokapu, a Richly Storied Landscape," A Slide Talk by Dr. Diane Drigot, Senior Natural Resources Mgt. Specialist, Environmental Dept., MCB Hawaii
More than one million years of volcanic activity, changing sea levels and other natural forces have sculpted Mokapu’s landscape prior to and since human arrival. The different phases of human settlement on Mokapu, from Polynesian to military, have shaped the landscape as well. This slide talk will provide a journey through time on Mokapu’s landscape—prehistoric to present—weaving human interest stories and insights from oral histories as well as scientific sources about how the many different natural and human forces have contributed to its uniquely Hawaiian “sense of place.” Highlights of the MCB Hawaii’s award-winning conservation program will also be provided.
Title: Field Trip: "Ho’ola I Ka Aina (Restoring Health to The Land) at Nu’upia Ponds"
MCB Hawaii is a recognized leader in natural resources conservation. This field trip will visit one area where these efforts are concentrated: Nu’upia Ponds. In addition to being an ancient Hawaiian fishpond, the Ponds today are an essential habitat for a variety of native and migratory shorebirds, seabirds, and endangered Hawaiian waterbirds—primarily Ae’o (Hawaiian stilt), the mascot of Mokapu Elementary School. This “inside tour” will enter normally restricted pond areas for close-up observation of some unique bird species, native coastal plants, and shoreline features and learn about management undertaken to preserve and restore the uniquely Hawaiian “sense of place” these flora/fauna/features impart to MCB Hawaii.
Title: Sustaining Bullets and Boobies at Ulupa’u Crater
MCB Hawaii hosts a critically important weapons training range at Ulupa’u Crater as well as a large nesting colony of red-footed boobies (a federally-protected seabird). Just offshore is another large seabird colony of 12 different species on Moku Manu Island. The Crater also hosts the oldest fossil bird bone deposit in Hawaii (400,000 years before present). This “inside tour” will enter an area normally restricted to the general public, for close-up bird observation, explanation of how birds are protected from bullets and brushfires, and a close up view of historic Battery Pennsylvania built into the Crater during World War II to guard the coastline, from parts salvaged off the sunken USS Arizona.
