Abstract
A sediment coring and limited archaeological excavation project was undertaken
within the former 'Ohi'apilo Fishpond (State Site 50-60-03-891), Kalama'ula
ahupua'a on leeward Moloka'i, State of Hawai'i (Fig. 1). This work was conducted
as part of the 'Ohi'apilo Wetlands Enhancement Project which is designed to provide
25.4 acres ofoptimal foraging, loafing and nesting habitat for two endangered
endemic waterbirds, the Hawaiian stilt, or ae'o (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni),
and the Hawaiian coot or 'alaeke'oke'o (Fulica americana alai), with benefits for
other migratory shorebirds and waterfowl.
