Incumbent works for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Kaua'i National Wildlife Refuge Complex, located on the island of Kauai in the state of Hawai'i. The Complex consists of three units, Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge, Hule'ia National Wildlife Refuge, and Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge is located in the beautiful Hanalei River Valley on Kauai's north shore. Encircled by waterfall-draped mountains, the 917 acre refuge was established in 1972 to provide nesting and feeding habitat for endangered Hawaiian water birds, including the Hawaiian duck (koloa maoli), coot ('alae ke'oke'o), moorhen ('alae 'ula), and stilt (ae'o). Established in 1973, the 238 acre Hule'ia National Wildlife Refuge, located along the Hule'ia River on the southeastern side of Kaua'i, also serves as nesting and feeding habitat for endangered Hawaiian waterbird species. Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1985 when land and a historic lighthouse were transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from the U.S. Coast Guard. The ocean cliffs and open grassy slopes of an extinct volcano provide breeding grounds for native Hawaiian seabirds and nene, the endangered Hawaiian goose.
