Wildlife Preserves & Refuges

Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge protects some of the last remaining wetland areas on Oahu. It is composed of two units, the 37-acre Honouliuli Unit, which borders West Loch, and the 25-acre Waiawa Unit bordering Middle Loch of the famous Pearl Harbor.

Waiawa is composed of two ponds, one of which is primarily managed for the endangered Hawaiian stilt (aeo). However, its estuarine environment is ideal for establishing a host of food resources for all four endangered water bird species in the state: (Hawaiian coot (alae keokeo), moorhen (alae ula) and duck (koloa maoli)). Fresh water is pumped into the refuge from a nearby stream and empties into Pearl Harbor.

Honouliuli, also a fresh water wetland, is extensively managed for a variety of water birds including Hawaii's endangered water birds and migrant waterfowl.
