HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) is urging motorists to drive with caution and obey all traffic laws including the move over law, which requires drivers to slow down to a reasonable speed that is safe under the circumstances and if possible make a lane change in order to leave one lane between the driver and the emergency situation. In the first nine days of 2020 there have been four traffic-related fatalities in Hawaii, including three pedestrians. One of the victims was a tow truck driver responding to a call on the H-2 Freeway when he was struck by a vehicle. “To keep everyone safe we are all required to slow down and move over when approaching an emergency situation on or to the side of the roadway. Moving over is an easy way to save a life and that should be important to all of us,” said Deputy Director Ed Sniffen, Hawaii Department of Transportation Highways Division. The move over law applies to all first responding vehicles such as police, fire and ambulances and includes the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) and tow trucks. For additional information on the statute please click here. HDOT has sponsored a public service announcement (PSA) to help educate the public on the move over law. The PSA regarding the move over law can be seen by clicking here. In addition, HDOT has implemented various safety improvements on its roadways including raised pedestrian crosswalks at various areas where there have been community concerns regarding speeding vehicles in school zones or high pedestrian volume areas; and gateway treatments and delineators at mid-block crosswalks to remind drivers they must stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk. HDOT continues to partner with law enforcement agencies and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration initiatives such as the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and the Click It or Ticket campaigns. The efforts include sobriety checkpoints and other law enforcement actions to help save lives and educate the public. The traffic fatality data is updated weekly on the HDOT safe communities webpage which includes information regarding the Walk Wise Hawaii program promoting pedestrian safety as well as additional HDOT efforts to keep the traveling public safe.

Hā o ke kai 2020 aims to explore communication in furthering climate action Hā o ke kai literally means the breath of the sea, and more poetically, that we are one with the ocean, and go where it takes us—in this case, towards pioneering a response to climate change challenges that lie before us in Hawai‘i.  This conference addresses what it will take to make Hawai‘i “climate ready” and the role of the State, its Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission, and its many partners. Climate change communication can be a bottleneck for climate change action. Monday will feature New York Times Best Selling author David Wallace-Wells as keynote speaker and a response panel of local leaders including an artist, a youth activist, and a scientist. Two panels will highlight the “climate ready” work being done in Hawai‘i and bring lessons from California, North Carolina, Delaware, and Washington. Tuesday will feature “lightning talks” by researchers working on cutting edge climate change issues, and the afternoon includes workshops led by media and science professionals to help organizations fine-tune climate change messages.

(Honolulu) – The DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) announces a shorter hunting season for the mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) to meet current state regulations and to comply with federal mandates, including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The last day for hunting mourning dove is now January 12, 2020. The fall game bird hunting season for all other game birds will remain unchanged and will run through Sunday, January 26, 2020. A valid hunting license and a game bird stamp are required for all game bird hunting on public and private lands. All game bird hunting is regulated by chapter 13-122, Hawaii Administrative Rules (see: https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dofaw/rules/ “Administrative Rules” for all legal hunting days).  Contact the Division of Forestry and Wildlife at (808) 587-0166 with any questions regarding the shorter mourning dove hunting season.

Lihu‘e – The killing of an endangered Hawaiian Petrel chick involved in a tracking project highlights the continued threat of feral cats to native wildlife on Kaua῾i. The chick had been satellite tagged with two others as part of a research project by the Kaua῾i Endangered Seabird Recovery Project (KESRP) to locate the petrel’s first oceanic wintering grounds.  When the tag continued to transmit from land over several weeks, researchers returned to the bird’s forest burrow in late November to find it had been killed by a cat. The kill was caught on a camera that was hidden to monitor the burrow. KESRP Project Coordinator Dr. André Raine said, “It was heart-breaking to find this healthy chick torn apart by a cat, especially when we saw the tracks of the other two birds that were satellite tagged, one of which has now flown more than 5,000 miles since it fledged and left its nest”. Sheri S. Mann, the Kaua‘i Branch Manager for the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) explained, “The three Hawaiian petrel chicks were tagged in their burrows on November 12, 2019  in a remote area in Hono o Nā Pali Natural Area Reserve (NAR), as part of a study by KESRP to learn more about this poorly known species’ post-fledging movement patterns. The only other petrel chick tagged previously by KESRP had been tracked to the waters off Guam, 3,700 miles away, leaving us to believe this species is a strong flyer with vast areas it flies to across the Pacific.” The burrow camera recorded the cat entering the burrow, pulling the fully-grown chick out, and eating it in front of the camera, likely hours before it was about to fledge. The same cat was seen on camera at five other burrows in the NAR over the course of a few days and researchers believe it killed at least one other chick. Predator control teams were notified, and they continue to search for the elusive cat as well as other predators. These native Hawaiian seabirds evolved without any mammalian predators and have no defenses against them. On Kaua’i they are now restricted to the most remote, mountainous areas on the island and are in serious decline. Causes include powerline collisions and introduced predators, such as cats. Unfortunately, feral cats are numerous on the landscape and have very large ranges, meaning they can roam across multiple seabird colonies where birds such as Hawaiian Petrels become easy prey. Dr. Raine said, “Kaua’i is a “Noah’s Ark” for many endangered bird species. Having feral cats loose on the landscape is not good for the cats, which risk disease and an untimely death, and it’s also terrible for our native wildlife.  They target native seabirds across the island. In late 2019, we documented more than 150 Wedge-tailed Shearwater kills along the coast and multiple cat predations of Hawaiian Petrels and Newell’s Shearwaters (both of which are critically endangered) in the mountains.  It is vital that people take feral cat management seriously to ensure that birds like this Hawaiian Petrel chick survive to take their first flight”. Raine continues tracking the two remaining petrels. Their satellite tags have provided invaluable information from the ocean areas that are important for the birds’ survival. The KSERP and DOFAW are learning how to use new technologies and methods to monitor predators and ultimately protect endangered birds from them.
