There are people doing restoration work on lo'i (wetland taro terraces), and
fish ponds, in the Hawaiian islands...some of them might have some useful
information.  I don't have any direct contacts for such projects, but you
might try asking Burt Lum (webmaster@kahoolawe.org) of the Protect
Kaho'olawe 'Ohana ( http://www.brouhaha.net/ohana/ ).  Also try Pualani
Kanahele at Hawai'i community college (puahele@hawaii.edu).
