It also presents the cartographic culture clash as two dissimilar spatial knowledge systems come together on the shores of Kealakekua, Hawai'i at the turn of the nineteenth century. Although it is natural to frame the discussion of Western and Hawaiian cartographies dichotomously, this text maintains that all knowledge, including spatial knowledge, is socially constructed according to each culture's ontological and epistemological foundations.; This text also recognizes the need for Indigenous methodologies in geographic research. Geographers have been engaging with Indigenous communities for millennia. Yet very little has been developed in regard to geographic research methodologies and Indigenous people. This text embraces Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies and brings them to the forefront of geographic research.; Thus, it recognizes the relationship between the two cartographic traditions as existing in parallel to or in tandem with one another up until Captain Cook's arrival at Kapukapu (a. k. a. Kealakekua Bay). At that point in time, 1798, the interactive presentation of Hawaiian cultural knowing encountered the visual representations of Western archival knowledge. Hawaiian place names were transformed from (re)presenting place as a repository of a multiplicity of meaning to representing place as an objectified and distanced label on the landscape.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 330-340).; Reproduction.; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 340 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20610 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Louis, Renee Pualani http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20609 Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Government institutions in their role as resource managers and environmental stewards have attempted to control access to scallops and other resources in a region that contains the only marine protected area of the nation (the Paracas National Reserve---RNP). Relations of power and resistance, two of the important focuses of political ecological studies, among and between various stakeholder groups are examined through an analysis of the narratives produced.; The dissertation findings show that unequal power relations under competing discourses characterize the use and management of scallops; a reactive state response characterizes the management of scallops; management strategies, as well as the RNP master plans, have partially affected the use of scallops; and, scallop booms have produced important social changes in the local population.; These booms have transformed local society and created new relationships as outside stakeholders appear to take advantage of new market opportunities. The quiet fishing ports have been transformed by the arrival of thousands of fishermen from all over the Peruvian coast, as well as others, seeking to improve their living conditions. This has led to rapid growth in the scallop industry, the overexploitation and depletion of the shellfish creating a crisis: the boom-to-bust cycle of scallops.; This dissertation aims to contribute to the field of political ecology by analyzing a unique case study. Its uniqueness stems from its analysis of a marine resource that thrives under conditions of environmental change. Furthermore, since these booms not only contribute to the enhancement of the national and regional economies, but also have an international reach, its geographical range goes beyond the immediate space, which characterizes research in political ecology.; This dissertation examines scallop (Argopecten purpuratus ) booms experienced during the late-twentieth century in the Pisco-Paracas Region of southern Peru using a political ecology perspective. The examined booms were triggered by the 1982-1983 and 1997-1998 mega-El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The significant increase of ocean temperatures causes the migration and/or mass mortality of key predators, as well as enhances the growth rate of scallops, leading to their exceptional abundance.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 397-414).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 414 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20609 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Gonzalez, Ricardo M http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20608 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 145-156).; vi, 156 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20608 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Fuhriman, Christopher http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20607 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 139-146).; xiv, 146 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20607 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Markham, Jesse Wind http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20606 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-93).; viii, 93 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20606 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Silver, Joseph R http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20605 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 184-199).; x, 199 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20605 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Mcleod, Elizabeth http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20604 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 156-159).; xii, 159 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20604 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Hall, Richard L http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20603 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 76-81).; vii, 81 leaves, bound 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20603 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Buchert, Martin P http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20602 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 275-282).; x, 282 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20602 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Gruber, Douglas S http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20601 Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Keywords. Colonialism, Agency, Indigenous, Modernization, Hawai'i.; The Hawaiian Kingdom has often been seen as a colonial institution. This dissertation challenges a colonial analysis of the Hawaiian Kingdom and its ali'i, while illustrating the agency of ali'i in grappling within and against Euro-American Imperialism. Special attention is given to the complex negotiations taking place in the Hawaiian Kingdom between ali'i and haole and the ways in which ali'i were modernizing through the modification of existing indigenous structure and through Hawaiianizing Euro-American structures to suit their own needs. This dissertation uses archival materials such as maps, laws, and letters to demonstrate that the Hawaiian Kingdom was not a colonial institution but rather a hybrid structure to resist colonialism and offers insight into how an indigenous society appropriated the tools of the other for their own means.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 310-339).; Reproduction.; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 339 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20601 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Beamer, B. Kamanamaikalani http://hdl.handle.net/10125/16332 The coral reefs of Kane'ohe Bay, on the windward coast of O'ahu, Hawai'i, have changed markedly over the last half century. Some of the most spectacular coral reefs in Hawai'i were reported from Kane'ohe Bay in the late 1800's and early 1900's, but with the beginning of extensive military dredge and fill operations during the World War IT era, conditions in the bay began to change dramatically. After the War, rapid urbanization of the area began and conditions in the bay continued to decline until pressure from the public and scientific community led to the diversion of the large sewage discharges in the southeast lagoon to a newly built deep ocean outfall outside the bay in 1977-1978. Although conditions temporally improved, recent surveys indicate that current conditions in the bay are not as favorable as expected. This study provides a time series analysis of changes in coral and algae cover in Kane'ohe Bay based upon a series of coral reef surveys conducted throughout the bay in 1970171, 1983, and 1990. Beginning in 1970171, conditions in the bay were highly degraded and scientists speculated that eutrophication and sedimentation, as a result of urbanization and construction, were the primary cause of an observed decline in lagoon corals communities in the southeast lagoon and an explosive growth of the green "bubble algae", Dictyosphaeria cavemosa, which was smothering corals in the middle lagoon. In . 1983, six years after major sewage discharges were diverted from the bay, surveys indicated dramatic improvements in water quality and the reefs showed signs of recovery. D. cavemosa algae levels, associated with earlier nutrient pollution, plummeted to less than twenty percent of their former abundance levels and coral cover increased by over two hundred percent. Although it was predicted that the coral reefs of Kane'ohe Bay would continue to recover, surveys in 1990 indicate that coral recovery slowed or ceased and the growth of the green "bubble algae", D. cavemosa, more than doubled compared to 1983 levels. In addition to the failure of the t~o dominant coral species Porites compressa and Montipora capitata to continue to recover, almost all of the less common coral species including Pocillopora damicomis, Fungia scutaria, Cyphastrea ocellina, and some others, showed significant declines in reef cover. Although this study was not able to detennine the exact causes of the observed changes in Kane'ohe Bay, it is suggested that high nutrient inputs provided favorable conditions for the changes in coral and algae cover. High nutrient levels are thought to have been derived from a number of sources including chronic sewage pollution, increased sedimentation from runoff, and reef kills associated with acute but large episodes of freshwater runoff. Some of these nutrient inputs may have been the result of non-point source and point source sewage pollution derived from leaky sewer lines, cesspool and septic tank discharges, commercial tour and recreational boat waste discharges, and periodic sewage bypasses from municipal wastewater treatment plants and sewage pump stations. Other nutrients may have been derived from increased sedimentation following extensive land clearance, land development, and highway construction. Additional factors may include a decrease in herbivorous fish species owing to over fishing and the ability of D. cavemosa algae to concentrate nutrients from underlying substrates and excretion from infaunal organisms. Other factors such as increased nutrient recycling from the sediments, possible increased nitrogen fixation from reefs, and natural fluctuations in relative species abundances may also be responsible for some of the observed changes in coral reef community structure. Although rare, the largest nutrient fluxes followed the catastrophic freshwater reef-kill events caused by severe rainstorms in conjunction with low tides and low wind conditions in 1965 and 1987-1988. Although the cause and effect relationship is still uncertain, the highest levels of Dictyosphaeria cavemosa algae ever recorded in Kane'ohe Bay occurred in the years following these storm events. Results of this study indicate that further research is needed to monitor ongoing conditions in the bay and determine what is preventing the reef ecosystem from returning to its former more pristine condition. Because water quality parameters generally remained the same or improved compared to previous polluted conditions, it is suggested that current measures of water quality are not reliable in forewarning against coral reef degradation in Kane'ohe Bay. Although a reduction in all future development in and around the bay would probably help maintain environmental conditions at the status quo, additional regulations and enforcement may be needed to help reduce disturbances caused by existing land and water use. It is suggested that a reduction in nutrient inputs to the bay would be beneficial to reef corals. Recommendations made by the Kane'ohe Bay Task Force outlined in the Kane'ohe Bay Master Plan should serve as a model and be implemented as soon as possible. Continuing assessment of the Kane'ohe Bay coral reef ecosystem and surrounding watershed will then need to be made on a regular basis to ensure that further degradation of the reefs is not occurring.
