In this study, we investigated the complex ways in which human well-being is related to the coastal and marine environment by looking closely at the ways communities impact, rely on, and steward the West Hawaiʻi region. We endeavored to understand how people in West Hawaiʻi experience and value cultural ecosystem services (CES) and how those CES influence human well-being. Ultimately, we sought to understand how resource management can include information about human well-being to support and enhance management practices.
