Aloha!
The Hawai‘i Association of Watershed Partnerships (HAWP) is comprised of nine Watershed Partnerships on six islands.  Watershed Partnerships are voluntary alliances of public and private landowners and other partners working collaboratively to protect forested watersheds for water recharge, conservation, and other ecosystem services. HAWP seeks to increase the management and protection of such areas by raising the capacity of Watershed Partnerships, facilitating the sharing of watershed management knowledge, building public support and awareness of watershed values, and developing sustainable funding sources.
