Hawai‘i
Institute of Marine Biology
The Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology’s (HIMB)
Coconut Island Laboratory is located in Kaneohe Bay, about
25 minutes from the Manoa campus. In addition to analytical
equipment for environmental and behavioral studies, the lab
has several enclosed seawater ponds and penned holding facilities,
and tanks and aquaria with running seawater. Its location
and a fleet of small boats provide easy access to a variety
of shallow water habitats in Kaneohe Bay; two larger boats
also are available.

Hakalau
Forest Biological Field Station
This field station is located at Hakalau Forest National Wildlife
Refuge at 6000' elevation on Mauna Kea, Island of Hawaii.
The refuge consists of 33,000 acres of ohia/koa forest with
4 species of endangered forest birds and several species of
endangered plants. The mission of the field station is to
provide logistic and scientific support for researchers engaged
in studies of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology
on the refuge. The station consists of a dorm building that
can house 16 researchers and a main building with a large
meeting/dining room, kitchen, offices, laboratory, and utility
room, and incorporates the most advanced rural technology
available. Station Director: Dr.
Leonard A. Freed.
