ʻO ka piʻi ʻilikai, ka wela mehana o ke kai, ke anilā wela, a me nā lāhulu malihini, ʻo ia nā mea e hoʻopilikia i ko Ჹɲʻ iwakāluakūmālua mau lāhulu manu kai. Akā, ke ʻimi nei nā hui kamaʻāina i nā alahele no ke kōkua ʻana aku.

Kani Leo: E hoʻolohe i ka pūkaʻina kūkākūkā i pili i kēia ʻakikala. No ka ʻikepili hou, e hahai iā Stemming The Tide ma kāu polokalamu pūkaʻina kūkākūkā punahele.
Me ka ʻaʻahu ʻia ʻana o kahi ʻahu hinuhinu o nā hulu pōʻeleʻele, kūlepe kahi ʻakihihehiʻale i kona mau ʻēheu ma Waialua ma Oʻahu.
ʻO ka neʻena o ka manu keiki, ʻo ia ka hōʻailona mākaukau no kona lele mua ʻana, akā ʻaʻole kēlā kona lanakila hoʻokahi. Wahi a nā mea noiʻi, ʻo kēia manu nō paha ma James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge ka manu mua lua i hānau ʻia ma Oʻahu mai ka hoʻopilikia ʻana mai o nā kānaka i ko lākou nohona — he hehi koʻikoʻi loa no ko ka lāhulu ola ʻana i loko nō o ka hoʻohuli aniau.
Ma o nā kekeke, e hana ana nā hui mālama ʻāina e lawe mai i nā ʻakēʻakē a me nā manu kai ʻē aʻe mai nā mokupuni mamao mai ma muli o nā pilikia i pili i ka piʻi ʻilikai a me ka hoʻomehana honua.
ʻO Nā Pilikia, He Kahiko A He Hou
ʻO nā kuhia no nā mokupuni ma loko o , he kīpuka i loaʻa nā mile kuea he 583,000 a puni nā mokupuni mamao, hōʻike ua kuhia nei, inā piʻi ke kai he ʻeono kapuaʻi, e nalowale ana nō paha
ʻO Beth Flint, he luna noiʻi kālaimeaola ʻo ia no U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ua hana ʻo ia ma nā mokupuni mamao no 40 mau makahiki, a ua ʻike maka ʻo ia i ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana o ka nohona manu a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā wahi pūnana a me ka ʻimi home hou ʻana no nā manu.
“ʻO nā loli hoʻoweliweli aʻu i ʻike ai ma o kēlā mau makahiki aku nei he 40…ʻo ia ka nalowale ʻokoʻa ʻana o nā moku liʻiliʻi a me ka ʻaʻai koke ma nā moku nui,” wahi a Flint.
Ua palemo iho kekahi mau moku a ʻo ka nalowale akula nō ia o nā wahi pūnana ma o nā hanana anilā nui. Ua hoʻomake ʻia nā kaʻupu makua a me nā keiki he 100,000 a ʻoi ma Pihemanu ma hope o ka ʻōlaʻi ma ka makahiki 2011 a me ke kai eʻe i pae ma Iāpana; ma ka makahiki 2018, ma o ka palemo ʻana o Moku Hikina, ua nalowale kahi wahi hānau no nā honu, nā ʻīlio kai, a me nā lāhulu like ʻole o nā manu kai.
He wānana nō paha kēia mau hanana i nā mea e hiki mai ana, wahi a nā mea mālama ʻāina.
ʻOiai, he holoholona laulauna nā manu kai e hoʻokolonaio i nā mokupuni holoʻokoʻa, ua kūpaʻa lākou i kā lākou wahi e hoʻopili ai ma ka wā ʻōpio. No laila, i mea e hoʻoponopono ʻia ai ka pilikia, ʻo nā hui e like me , hoʻoneʻe lākou i nā manu keiki no nā mokupuni mamao a hoʻohana iā lākou e hōʻumeʻume i nā manu ʻē aʻe e lele i nā mokupuni ma ʻaneʻi.
No hoʻi, ʻo nā manu keiki he 511 o nā lāhulu ʻehā like ʻole — ka mōlī, ke kaʻupu, ka nunulu, a me ka ʻakihihehiʻale — ua lawe ʻia maila lākou i home hou mai nā mokupuni mamao mai ma waena o nā makahiki 2015 a me 2021 ma loko o nā wahi i kiaʻi ʻia e nā pā pale poʻiiʻa.
A ua ola aʻe nō nā manu keiki i hoʻoneʻe ʻia he 92% i ka wā ulu ʻēheu, a ʻo ko lākou hoʻi maila nō ia ma ka wā makua, wahi a FWS.
Wahi a Lindsay Young, ʻo ia ko PRC luna hoʻokō, ʻo kekahi pahuhopu o ka hui penei, e hoʻokō ʻia ka nalowale ʻokoʻa ʻole ʻana o ka ʻāina, ʻo ia hoʻi, no kēlā me kēia iwilei kuea o ka ʻāina ma nā mokupuni mamao, he koho ʻē aʻe ko nā manu kai ma nā mokupuni ʻewalu mai Ჹɲʻ i ܲʻ.
ʻO ka hoʻohuli aniau ke kolu ma ka papahelu o nā pilikia nohona no nā manu kai ma ka pae honua, a aia nō ia ma hope o nā lāhulu malihini a me ka hopu hewa o ka lawaiʻa, wahi a ma o nā noiʻi he 900.
I loko nō o ka hoʻolako ʻana o nā mokupuni nui i ka ʻāina kiʻekiʻe a me ke kīpuka ma waho o ka hoʻohuli aniau, ua hoʻopilikia hou ʻia nā manu i nā mea i hoʻālo ʻia ma mua: ʻo nā kānaka, ʻo nā holoholona kūloko a nā lāhulu malihini.
ʻO nā puaʻa, nā pōpoki a me nā ʻiole, ʻo ia nō ka pilikia nui loa i nā manu kai, no laila, he pono ke kau pā ʻana e kiaʻi pono ʻia ai lākou ma ko lākou mau home hou.
Akā, ua hoʻopilikia pū hoʻi kekahi o nā mokupuni mamao e nā lāhulu malihini, e laʻa ʻo Pihemanu, ʻo ia kahi e ʻai ʻia ai nā mōlī e nā ʻiole hale i waiho ʻia ma ka moku ma hope o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua. ʻAi ka naonao malihini i nā manu kai kekahi.
Ua kūkulu aku nei ʻo PRC i kahi pā pale poʻiiʻa me ka lōʻihi he ʻelua mile e kūpale ana i nā ʻeka he 168 o ma ܲʻ, a ʻo ia ka mea e kō ai kā lākou pahuhopu no ka nalowale ʻole ʻana, wahi a Young.
“ʻO ka hehi e hiki mai ana, ʻo ia ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pūʻuo ma o kēlā mau wahi a pau,” wahi a Young.
ʻŌlelo ʻo Flint, ua holomua nui lākou me nā ʻakihihehiʻale, ʻoiai, e hōʻumeʻume ana nā manu i nā manu ʻē aʻe a lahalaha ka pūʻuo ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā holoholona e hoʻokumu ʻia ai kahi pūʻuo kahua e nā hui e like me PRC.
“ʻO kēlā nō kāmākou nuʻu e kūlia aku ai, ʻo ia ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka uluō,” wahi a Flint. “Ma kai, ua maopopo leʻa ka hana iā lākou, a ikaika loa kēlā mau mea liʻiliʻi. Akā, inā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke ʻimi i wahi e waiho ʻia kā lākou mau hua a hānai ʻia ai kā lākou mau keiki, e halapohe ana lākou.”
ʻO Ke Guano A Me Ke Olakino Kaiaola
Ma hope o ka pae ʻana o kahi mōlī ma nā pali hikina ʻākau o Molokaʻi ma Ianuali, ua haʻi ʻia ʻo , e loaʻa koke ana nōpaha nā kōkoʻolua hoʻopiʻi mua loa i kēlā wahi.
“Ua hoʻomaka lākou me ka hoʻokolonaio ʻana ma ܲʻ, a ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia i Oʻahu. A ʻo ko mākou ʻike maka akula nō ia ma ʻaneʻi,” wahi Butch Haase, ʻo ia ka luna hoʻokō no MLT. “No laila, ʻo kēia ka pohaku i kau ʻia aku nei ma luna pono o ke kahua.”
ʻO ka māhele ʻāina he 63 ʻeka, ua puni i nā pali a me kahi pā e hoʻopau koke ʻia, a he $1 miliona ke kumu kūʻai, he home hoʻi ia no ka ʻuaʻu kani, ʻo ia ka mea nāna e ʻeli a waiho i kā lākou pūnana ma lalo o ka honua.
A, ʻo ka holomua o ke olakino noho loa o nā manu, kākoʻo ua holomua nei i ke kaiaola nui. ʻO ke kūkae o nā manu i kapa ʻia ʻo guano, he kīpulu nō ia e makepono ai ka ʻāina a me ke kai.
ʻOiai, ua makeʻe nui ʻia ka guano ma ke ʻano he kīpulu, ua ʻeli ʻia ʻo Pihemanu ma ke kinohi o ke kenekulia 20, a ʻo ia ka home o ka pūʻuo mōlī nui loa ma ka honua nei. ʻO kēia hana luku i hōʻeuʻeu i kekahi o nā pale mālama ʻāina kahiko loa ma nā mokupuni mamao.
Akā, inā waiho ʻia, hiki i ka guano ke hoʻēmi i ka hoʻohuli aniau.
“ʻO kēla mau māhuola mai ka guano manu kai, hiki ia kē hoʻokīpulu i nā ʻōnaehana malina kapakai a hoʻonui i ka paʻapū a me ka like ʻole o nā lāhulu, mai ka ʻōlaula, a i ka limu, mai ka pūkoʻa a i ka iʻa,” wahi a Haase.
Ma luna aʻe o kēlā, ua hōʻike ʻia, hoʻolako nā manu kai i nā mea koʻikoʻi i nā kaiaola ma ka Pakipika, wahi a Brad Keitt, ʻo ia ka luna o
Hoʻolako nā manu ʻeli e like me ka ʻuaʻu kani i ka naikokene malina he 15% a i 27%, a ʻo ia ka nui a nā kīpulu e hoʻopilipili aku ai e kākoʻo i nā kaiaola lāʻau.
“He kuleana kupanaha ko kēia mau manu kai, ma luna aʻe o ka ʻike maka ʻia a me ka hoʻonanea ʻia ʻana o lākou,” wahi a Keitt. “He māhele koʻikoʻi lākou o kēia mau kaiaola mokupuni a me ka ʻāina a puni.”
ʻO Nā Pilikia E Hoʻohui Ana
Ke hoʻopilikia aku ka piʻi ʻilikai i ka wā ma hope o nā manu kai, ke hoʻopilikia pū hoʻi nei ka hoʻohuli aniau i nā manukai a me ko lākou wela kino ma ke anilā wela a me ko lākou hiki ʻana ke ʻimi ʻai ma o ka Pakipika.
ʻO nā loli anilā ma loko o ka nā makahiki ʻo El Nino lāua ʻo La Nina, ʻo ia nā mea e kōkua mau iā Pacific Rim Conservation ma ke kuhi ʻana i ke ʻano o ka huakaʻi ʻana o nā mōli e ʻimi i ka ʻai na kā lākou mau keiki ma ko lākou noho pūnana ʻana. Akā, ke hoʻololi nā nui iʻa i nā ʻano huakaʻi, he pono ko nā manu e hoʻololi pū ma ko lākou lele ʻana i ʻĀlaka, Iāpana, a me Mekiko.
“Inā mamao loa ka ʻimi ʻai ʻana na ke keiki, inā hoʻololi ka palena wahi i loaʻa ka ʻai a hoʻākea iki ʻia, ʻaʻole nō paha e hiki ke hoʻi pono i nā keiki no ka hānai ʻana iā lākou,” wahi a Young me ka ʻōlelo hou ʻana, ma kēlā kau hoʻopiʻi aku nei, ua hoʻēmi ʻia ka helu ola no nā manu keiki. “Hōʻike kēlā helu i ʻāiki no nā mea e hiki mai ana ma ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana o ke kai.”
ʻOiai, he holoholona hana maʻa, hoʻomākaukau ʻia nā manu keiki e lele ma ka wā like o kēlā me kēia makahiki, ma ke kauwela, e hopu i ka iʻa a me ka mūheʻe ma ka wā e nui ai ka lako. Akā, ke nui ka wela, e hōʻea ana nō paha ka wā e lako ai ka iʻa ma mua o kēlā wā.
“Hiki nō paha ia ke hoʻopilikia i ko lākou noho loa ʻana,” wahi a Young.
ʻO Ka Pedialyte A Me Nā Iʻa Maka
Ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā manu e like me nā mōlī, a i ʻole, ʻaʻole hoʻi ko lākou mau mākua mai ka huakaʻi mai i ka wā kūpono, lilo nā hui e like me PRC i makua hānai ma o ka hānai ʻana iā lākou i ka iʻa he paona ma kēlā me kēia lā a me ka Pedialyte e mau ai ka māʻona a me ke kena.
“Ke heluhelu nei kākou i ka nele ʻana o ka ʻai pēpē ʻole ma kēia manawa,” wahi a Young. “Pēlā ke ʻano no Pedialyte a me nā wai electrolyte ma ka wā i hala, a he mau wā ko laila i hiki ʻole iā mākou ke loaʻa.”
Ua hoʻopilikia kikoʻī ʻia ka mōlī, e like me nā manu kai ʻē aʻe, ke hoʻopūnana nei lākou i nā wahi i hiki ʻole ke hele ʻia, a ma hope o ke kiko ʻana, hala ʻelima mau mahina ma mua o ka lele ʻana.
Ua pili kēia i nā pilikia mālama ʻāina no nā mea mālama ʻāina iho, ʻo lākou nā mea e hānai lima i nā manu, a he pono ka loaʻa ʻana o ka iʻa maka a me ka Pedialyte na nā manu i loko nō o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ke kapuaʻi wāwae kalepona ma o ka huakaʻi ʻana.
“No laila, ʻaʻole makepono kēia i nā wahi mamao loa e pilikia ai ka halihali lako ʻana,” wahi a Young.
Eia naʻe, i loko nō o nā hōʻailona maikaʻi ʻole no nā manu, lana ka manaʻo o Flint no FWS, e lele aʻe ana nō nā manu a ʻimi i nā wahi noho ʻē aʻe.
He ʻano maikaʻi loa ko lākou: hiki iā lākou ke lele i nā mile he mau kaukani no ka ʻimi ʻana i ka ʻai a me ka home.
“Ua makepono kēlā iā lākou no nā makahiki he 30 miliona, a lana koʻu manaʻo, e hoʻomau aku ana pēlā,” wahi a Flint.
