The Department of Environmental Protection is offering the Kahana Stream Restoration Project grant to restore fish and invertebrate passage in the lower reaches of Kahana Stream, Oahu. This project aims to improve habitat by removing invasive vegetation, establishing native riparian vegetation, and enhancing water quality. The restoration will eliminate barriers to fish passage, enhance aquatic habitat, and benefit the public by boosting the production of important fish and invertebrates. The project will also improve the physical characteristics of the stream channel and riparian zone in the Kahana watershed. Application deadline: Aug 05, 2013.

| 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. |
