This grant by the Department of Agriculture aims to bolster declining populations of yellow-faced bees on Oahu by enhancing their coastal strand habitat. The project’s goal is to provide artificial nest substrate in key locations to support rare yellow-faced bees. By offering technical and financial aid, this initiative not only benefits the bees but also helps in identifying, protecting, and restoring habitats in vital coastal areas for the overall well-being of the public and wildlife.

| Description:: | This agreement is being implemented in order to attempt to increase severely declining populations of yellow-faced bees (Hylaeus sp) in coastal strand habitat on Oahu. The objective is to augment and improve existing habitat for rare yellow-faced bees, by providing artificial nest substrate in locations where populations of Hylaeus persist in high priority, relatively intact coastal strand habitat.
This project will benefit the public by providing technical and financial assistance to partners to identify, protect, and restore or improve habitats in priority coastal areas for fish and wildlife for the continuing benefit of the American people. |
