The refuge is located between the towns of Kīhei and Māalaea, on both sides of North Kihei Road, Route 31. The wetland is also a bird sanctuary, home to 30 species of waterfowl, shorebirds, and migratory ducks, including the ''aukuu'' (black-crowned night heron, ''Nycticorax nycticorax hoactli'') and the endangered ''āeo'' (Hawaiian stilt, ''Himantopus mexicanus knudseni'') and ''alae kea'' (Hawaiian coot, ''Fulica alai'').〔James 2001, pp. 71-72〕〔〔()〕 Kealia Pond was selected as a wildlife refuge in 1953, protecting an initial of land.〔Clark 1989, pp. 50-51〕 The refuge joined the National Wildlife Refuge System in 1992.〔 ==Description== In the rainy winter season, high water levels enlarge the freshwater pond to more than .〔〔Kepler 2007, p. 54.〕 By spring, water levels begin dropping〔 and by summer, the pond shrinks to half its winter size, leaving a salty residue behind: this accounts for its name, "Kealia", meaning "salt encrusted place";〔Bendure 2005, p. 336.〕 Coastal salt pans once produced the mineral from seawater.〔 The low water levels cause a 98% dieback in the tilapia population, which can produce a foul stench in the area.〔Nakai 2002.〕 Kealia was once an ancient fishpond supplied with water from the Waikapu Stream in the West Maui Mountains and Kolaloa Gulch originating from Haleakalā. Native Hawaiians may have raised ''awa'' (milkfish, ''Chanos chanos'') and ''amaama'' (flathead mullet, ''Mugil cephalus'') using a system of ditches and sluice gates to let nearby fish from Māalaea Beach into the pond.〔 Towards the west, the area between Kealia and the town of Māalaea contains another shallow pond and mudflats that are also used by the birds during the winter and spring flooding. When the mudflats dry out during the summer, the birds move to Kealia Pond. This area was once a runway serving one of Maui's first airports, Māalaea Airport.〔 During World War II, Kealia Pond was used for training the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
