01-Year final report

Abstract

Largely, the UH/NPS Unit's first half-year has involved a process of adjustment of personnel, the defining of goals and the recruitment and equipping of personnel for office and field operations. With the overlapping of the 02-year program, the staff, being involved in both, has been busy. Only the work projected in the First Progress Report for the 01-year is reported here. It is divided into the following sections: II. Staff, personnel and organization III. The Hawaii Research Center (Frontispiece) IV. Development of other facilities V. Progress on the 01-year-apriori work plan (Area A: Training for Scientific Park Resource Evaluation, Development and Management.) (Area B: Descriptive Inventory of Natural Resources.) (Area C: Biological Control and Carrying Capacities.) (Area D: Basic Data Information and Advisory Systems.) In the case of this last section, the arrangement of the First Progress Report is followed closely. However, several new projects were added and so are interspersed as appropriate. The information provided here presupposes the reader's knowing the contents of the preliminary report; otherwise reading this report should be done with the preliminary report in hand.
