Restore Wetlands, Anchialine Ponds, and Riparian Zones with Community Partners, for Flood Control, Habitat Improvement, and Coastal Resiliency

The Legislature set aside $1,500,000 from the State's fee on visitors (the Green Fee) for FY2027 for this project, run by the Natural and Physical Environment program (LNR906) at the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Ongoing money. What the project does, where, and what comes of it will appear here as it is reported.

A record kept by the people caring for each moku, not by the State. The funded projects are listed from the State's own budget worksheet; everything else — where a project is, which moku it serves, what it has done, what stewards observe — is added by the people who do the work, with a source. Nothing here is a State report, and no agency has adopted or endorsed this site. It is here so residents and visitors can see who is caring for a place and how it is doing; it decides nothing about funding, eligibility, policy, or enforcement.

Budget

$1,500,000 · FY2027

Act 175 SLH 2026 (HB 1800), FY27 legislative adjustment to LNR906 — budget worksheet (Attachment A, RFP 2026-001G) p.21

What has been reported

  1. — DOFAW opened the Hoʻōla ʻĀina request for proposals: approximately $8 million in Green Fee funding for community-based restoration of forests, watersheds, wetlands, anchialine pools, and riparian areas, proposals due 2026-08-17 (HANDS opportunity 27266). The release names no budget line; the eligible work and the amount match this line together with its companion LNR906 line (GF-2027-HI-082 and GF-2027-HI-085, $8.14 million) — that pairing is this registry's reading, not the State's. Awardees were not yet announced as of 2026-10-12.

In the project's own words, and results

Not yet published. When the project reports its story and its numbers, and names its moku, a person reviews them and approves this page. Right now this record is not yet reviewed.

Place

The budget line does not say where this project is. Island and moku to be reported.

No State map dashboard is linked yet. When the State sets one up, this page links to it. Maps and dashboards stay State-owned.
