Niu Ola Kauhale Community Beetle-Mapping Project

under implementation

A community mapping project led by E Ola Kākou Hawai‘i, a Kaua‘i nonprofit, to track the spread of the invasive coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB) by documenting impacted coconut trees, breeding, treatment, and trap sites. The project involves community workdays to find beetles in mulch piles and collects data to inform targeted mitigation efforts in hotspots. The map is updated quarterly and supplemented with community-submitted data.
