In July 2022, our Unit (Grabowski and Tuttle Raz) organized a Structural Decision Making and Adaptive Resource Management (SDM-ARM) workshop for our State cooperator, the Hawai'i Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), for which we invited the Oregon Unit Leader, Jim Peterson. Unit personnel assisted DAR staff in walking through information gathering and planning of ARM measures to be taken for a fish species of concern in west Hawai‘i Island (Pāku'iku'i or Achilles Tang, <i>Acanthurus achilles</i>). Since that time, we have participated in approximately monthly virtual meetings between Unit personnel and DAR staff to track progress toward SDM-ARM for Pāku'iku'i. We have also organized and convened approximately monthly virtual meetings of a subgroup to build the SDM-ARM model (multi-state occupancy model), which has recently begun to yield results that promise to inform DAR’s management of the fish.
