Ancient Hawaii shore zone fishponds: An evaluation of survivors for historical preservation
Apple RA and Kikuchi WK. 1975. Ancient Hawaii shore zone fishponds: An evaluation of survivors for historical preservation. National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Honolulu, Hawaii
The purpose of this study is to identify for public and private interests those surviving Hawaiian fishpond remnants worthy of preservation as part of the cultural heritage of the State of Hawaii and the United States of America. Highest value is given in this study to those surviving remains judged to have deviated least from their conditions when in operation, i.e. about 1800. Criteria for this study were developed and evaluation conducted without consideration for any other values the pond remnants might have, such as their biological or landscape features, their use as refuges for endangered species or in modern scientific aquacultural programs, and their potential for research in non-Hawaiian style fish farming. Judgment on these and other non-archeological, non-historical values should be made by specialists in the appropriate subject fields.
