Cuts to U.S. Geological Survey Division to Affect Hawaii Research
The U.S. Geological Survey Ecosystems Mission Area (EMA) has been working on conservation science for decades, providing research for the sustainable management of ecological resources.
EMA addresses issues such as drought, invasive species, and wildlife diseases, and in Hawaii, this includes examining coastal hazards and finding strategies for saving native birds and restoring forests after wildfires.
- Examining coastal hazards
