James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge

Fish and Wildlife Service, Hawaii.

James Campbell NWR is located in Kahuku, Ko‘olauloa on the island of O‘ahu. One of the few scattered remnants of natural wetlands that still exist on O‘ahu, the Refuge was established in 1976 for the purpose of providing habitat for endangered Hawaiian waterbirds. Further expansion was authorized in 2005 for the purposes of providing additional habitat for endangered waterbirds, migratory shorebirds, waterfowl, seabirds, endangered and native plant species, endangered ‘īlioholo-i-ka-uaua (Hawaiian monk seal), and threatened honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle); providing increased wildlife-dependent public uses; and assisting with flood damage reduction in the local area.
