 | | James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge consists of over 160 acres of wetland habitat in two separate wetland units near the community of Kahuku on the northeastern shore of Oahu, Hawaii. This wetland refuge is primarily devoted to the recovery of Hawaii's four endemic water birds (Hawaiian stilt, Hawaiian moorhen, Hawaiian coot, and Hawaiian duck). All four birds are listed as endangered species due to their precipitous decline in the 20th century.The Punamano Pond Unit is a naturally occurring, spring-fed marsh. Once known as Kii Pond (literal translation means picture), the open brackish waters of the Kahuku shoreline were configured into freshwater settling ponds by the Kahuku Sugar Mill. Upon closure of the mill, the ponds, which were heavily used by water birds, began to dry up. In 1976, the largest ponds were placed under the protection and management of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a national wildlife refuge through a lease from the estate of James Campbell. |
