1. Your Ocean Use

The Hawaiʻi Ocean Health Index measures and tracks the benefits and services that the ocean provides for people now and into the future. This index is being developed with the support of local stakeholders to better understand how to sustainably balance current and future ocean use. We define health as a state of being that is pono (sustainable/respectful); where functions and processes can exist, perpetuate, and evolve, including the presence and role of humans. Our vision for the Hawaiʻi’s ocean is a resilient and productive system that provides services and resources to sustain Hawaii Island residents and economy perpetually into the future. The Ocean Health Index is based on 11 components that measure various goods or services that we obtain from the ocean. Your responses will be incorporated into the assessment to highlight local values for our oceans.
