ARTICLE I. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
A. This Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement (hereinafter called Agreement)
between Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, U.S.
Forest Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Office of the Deputy Under
Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
– Civil Works, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (hereinafter
called Federal Agencies), and the University of Hawaii and its partner institutions is a
continuation for a five (5) year term to provide for the operation and maintenance of
the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). This
continuation of the Hawaii-Pacific Islands CESU is implemented by mutual consent
of the parties and is consistent with the prior Agreement and the express intent of
the request for proposals for that Agreement. The Hawaii-Pacific Islands CESU is
associated with a national network of CESUs.
B. The objectives of the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit are
to:
Provide research, technical assistance and education to federal land
management, environmental and research agencies and their potential
partners;
Develop a program of research, technical assistance and education that
involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to
address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem-solving at multiple
scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level;
and
Place special emphasis on the working collaboration among federal agencies
and universities and their related partner institutions.
C. The Bureau of Land Management (hereinafter called BLM) administers public lands
within a framework of numerous laws. The most comprehensive of these is the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA). All Bureau policies,
Hawaii-Pacific Islands CESU Agreement 2014-2019 Page 3 of 46
procedures, and management actions must be consistent with FLPMA and the other
laws that govern use of the public lands. It is the mission of the BLM to sustain the
health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of
present and future generations (43 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq.). In accordance with 43
U.S.C. § 1737(b), the BLM is authorized to enter into contracts and cooperative
agreements involving the management, protection, development, and sale of public
lands; and is thereby authorized to enter into this cooperative agreement to continue

D. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (hereinafter called BOEM) oversees the
exploration and development of oil, natural gas and other minerals and renewable
energy alternatives on the Nation's outer continental shelf. BOEM continues to look
for better ways to serve the American people and to ensure that the Nation receives
the best value for its resources now and into the future. The program not only
supports decisions made within the Department of the Interior, but also provides
other Federal regulators, and the coastal states, and local governments with the
information necessary to ensure that all stages of offshore energy and mineral
activities are conducted in a manner to protect both the human and natural
environments. Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) (43 U.S.C. §§ 1331-
1356) Section 1346 mandates the conduct of environmental and socioeconomic
studies needed for the assessment and management of environmental impacts on
the human, marine, and coastal environments which may be affected by oil and gas,
renewable energy or mineral development. OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes the use
of cooperative agreements with affected States to meet the requirements of OCSLA,
including sharing of information, joint utilization of available expertise, formation of
joint monitoring arrangements to carry out applicable Federal and State laws,
regulations, and stipulations relevant to outer continental shelf operations both
onshore and offshore. BOEM can enter into cooperative agreements with State
offices, and public colleges and universities within the affected states; and is thereby
authorized to enter into this cooperative agreement to continue the Hawaii-Pacific
Islands CESU to assist in providing research, technical assistance and education.
E. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (hereinafter called USFWS), working with others,
is responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife, plants and
their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people through federal
programs related to migratory birds, endangered species, interjurisdictional fish and
marine mammals, inland sport fisheries, and the National Wildlife Refuge System. In
accordance with 16 U.S.C. § 661, 16 U.S.C. § 742(f), and 16 U.S.C. § 753(a), the
USFWS is authorized to cooperate with other agencies to assist in providing

notice (not to exceed 60 days) and submission of the proposed manuscripts to
the other. In such instances, the party publishing the data will give due credit to
the cooperation but assume full responsibility of any statements on which there is
a difference of opinion. Federal agencies reserve the right to issue a disclaimer if
such a disclaimer is determined to be appropriate.
2. The results of any cooperative studies may be used in developing theses in
partial fulfillment of requirements for advanced degrees and nothing herein shall
