Analysis of the locational information suggests that archaeological sites are abundant throughout the region and only become scarce where vegetation has been bulldozed for ranching activities. A GPS receiver was used to accurately and precisely plot locations for each of the documented sites. A total of 51 archaeological sites encompassing 233 surface features were documented. This report details the archaeological investigation of a 200 foot wide sample corridor extending approximately 9 miles along the southern portion of Maui within the present districts of Hana and Makawao. A USFWS recovery plan does not exist for this endangered species. Little specific data exists in the published literature on the population status and potential limiting factors affecting the Hawaiian bat. Baseline information was collected to evaluate the status of bats within the study area and to identify important foraging habitats.
Surveys were conducted to determine the distribution and abundance of bats more » throughout the District of Puna. Potential effects of geothermal development on Hawaiian bat populations are also discussed. This report presents data on the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Hawaiian bat), or opeapea (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), within the proposed Hawaii geothermal subzones. In 1993 the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) entered into an interagency agreement with the Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct wildlife surveys relative to identifying potential impacts of geothermal resource development on the native biota of the east rift zone of Kilauea volcano in the Puna district on the island of Hawaii.
