This grant supports the restoration of fish and invertebrate passage and aquatic habitat in lower Kahana Stream, Oahu. The project targets severe degradation from invasive ‘hau bush’ that chokes the channel, forming migration barriers and poor conditions, contrasting with the healthier upper stream. Removing invasives and re-establishing native riparian vegetation will restore vital habitat, clear blockages, and improve water quality. This benefits the public by increasing native aquatic species important for recreation, commerce, and culture, enhancing the stream and riparian zone health within the Kahana watershed.

| Description: | This agreement is being implemented in order to restore and enhance fish and invertebrate passage through the lower reaches of Kahana Stream, Oahu. By removing and controlling invasive vegetation and re-establishing a native-dominated riparian vegetation community along the lower Kahana Stream corridor, habitat will be restored, barriers to fish passage will be removed, and water quality will be improved. Much of the upper Kahana Stream system still exhibits good quality aquatic habitat. However, in the lower stream reaches “hau bush” Hibiscus tiliaceus has overgrown the stream channel to the point that in-stream habitat available for native aquatic species has been significantly degraded, and unnatural barriers to upstream migration of these species often exist.
This project will benefit the public by increasing production of recreationally, commercially and culturally important fish and invertebrates as well as improving the physical chemical and physical characteristics of the central stream channel and riparian zone within the Kahana watershed. |
