On September 15, biologist Pat Hart and I visited the site to make more detailed biological investigations than those we had done for the broader planning area, including delineation of general vegetation zones, 100 percent pedestrian surveys of some areas and full plant species lists. Based on this reconnaissance and earlier ones, as well as studies of airphotos, we were able to classify the area into six basic vegetation types, as shown schematically on the attached annotated airphoto. These are Lava Flow, Mixed Alien Shrub and Grass, Guinea Grass, Coastal Strand, Pond Fringe, and Developed County Park. As much of the Honuapo property is clearly completely covered in alien scrub vegetation and grass with almost no native species, we focused on areas that had a higher potential for natives. We concentrated on four specific areas: • Shoreline zone in the northern half of the property • Hiona‘a ‘a‘a lava flow • Honuapo estuary • Developed County park area We covered almost the entire surface within each of the areas above, except for the lava flow, over which we did a number of transects. In general, we found nothing unexpected,
