About this webpage:

PCSU & HPI-CESU in cooperation with the Inventory & Monitoring Program Pacific Island Network are proud to provide technical reports produced by the Unit, as well as selected hard-to-find gray literature pertaining to Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island ecosystems, in PDF format.  In order to view these files properly you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher.  The free Reader can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/readsstep2.html.

Files are large and can only be downloaded using a broadband connection.  Reports were scanned in black and white at a resolution of 600 dots per inch and were converted to text using Adobe Paper Capture Plug-in.

Reports were not proofread for errors and we welcome any corrections you might have.  We try to fulfill special requests for reports (e-mail sjoe@hawaii.edu).
