Title: Investigations of nonindigenous marine species introductions in the harbors of the South and West Shores of Oahu, Hawaii from 01 August 1997 to 31 August 1998 (NODC Accession 000324)
Abstract: Despite the potential importance of Honolulu Harbor or other commercial
harbors on Oahu as potential gateways for nonindigenous marine species
to enter the Hawaiian marine ecosystem, no studies have previously been
conducted of introduced species in Hawaiian commercial harbors, and little
information is available for the composition of the marine communities for these
harbors. Therefore, we conducted surveys in Honolulu Harbor and Keehi Lagoon
in 1997, and in Kewalo Basin, the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and the Barbers Point
Deep Draft Harbor in 1998. The results of this study are reported herein and
the presence and impact of nonindigenous marine introductions in these harbors
are evaluated.

This report includes an extensive bibliography of related work in these harbors,
historical maps, a chronology of important events in these harbors,
and the field data.
