| Jodie Masagatani |
She earned a master's degree in public affairs/urban and regional planning from Princeton University and holds a B.S. degree in education from Northwestern University.
Ailā has been Deputy Director since 2014. He is the former chair of Department of Land and Natural Resources, and served as the Harbor Agent for the Waiʻanae Boat Harbor from 1987-2010. Ailā has participated on several boards and task forces centered around native Hawaiian rights and natural resource management including the Hawaiʻi Invasive Species Council, Mohala I Ka Wai, Hui Mālama ʻO Makua, and others. Ailā holds a B.S. degree from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Ige praised Masagatani and Ailā: "This leadership team has made significant progress in awarding homesteads by embracing a combination of traditional lot development and pilot programs that provide alternatives such as rent-to-own projects and subsistence agricultural homesteads. They are committed to completing and awarding 374 lots in 2019 and 1,300 additional lots currently in the pipeline to be developed over the next five years."
Masagatani said, "I am very appreciative of the governor's support, and I look forward to continuing the positive steps we have taken at DHHL to achieve Prince Kuhio's vision of ʻĀina Hoʻopulapula and to advance our mission to manage the Hawaiian home lands trust effectively and to develop and deliver land to native Hawaiians."
Ailā said, "I am proud of the work Chair Masagatani and I have been able to accomplish these past years, and we have much to look forward to as we continue to advance new projects for our homesteaders and applicants."

A BOOK RELEASE AND PRESENTATION FOR SUSAN SCOTT'S LATEST BOOK, Hawai‘i's White Terns, Manu-o-Ku, an Urban Seabird takes place Thursday, Jan. 17, at 7 p.m., at Volcano Art Center's Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
In 1961, a pair of white terns laid an egg and raised O‘ahu's first white tern chick near Hanauma Bay. Since then, the birds' numbers in Honolulu have steadily increased. In 2007, the white tern, also known by its Hawaiian name, Manu o Kū, was designated the official bird of the City and County of Honolulu.
Today, white terns are a common sight in Honolulu and the photogenic birds are gaining in popularity as their range increases. "In bringing together data about White Terns from here and abroad, marine biologist Susan Scott has crafted a reliable, informative resource filled with remarkable photographs for anyone curious about Manu o Kū," states the event description on volcanoartcenter.org.
During the evening, Scotts presentation, It Takes a Hui, tells a story of how citizen scientists, researchers, government employees, educators, wildlife groups, writers, photographers, tree trimmers, birders, office workers, condo dwellers, and others have come together to help Hawai‘i's white terns. Scott is donating all royalties from the book to the Hawai‘i Audubon Society, where she has been a member since 1988.
The event is free; however, a $5 donation to Volcano Art Center is suggested. For more information, call 967-8222 or visit volcanoartcenter.org.
The event is part of a once-a-month Thursday night series at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture and the environment. The series is intended to inspire and enhance appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections.

ENVIRONMENT HAWAIʻI will feature a dinner presentation on Friday, Jan. 18 at 6 p.m., Imiloa Astronomy Center, regarding mining some of the most pristine ocean floor southeast of Hawaiʻi to Mexico. Dr. Craig Smith, a biological oceanographer with University of Hawai‘i's School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology, will give his talk at the annual dinner of Environment Hawaiʻi. See environment-hawaii.org for reservations.
In its January edition, Environment Hawaiʻi publishes a story, Treasures of Pristine Ocean Ecosystems Could be Lost to Mining for Metal Nodules.
The article says that Smith has been studying the deep sea floor for four decades. "Most recently, he has been investigating life in what might be the planet's most pristine, untouched environments: the abyssal plains of the eastern Clarion-Clipperton zone, an ocean region stretching from southeast of Hawai‘i to nearly the coast of Mexico. That area has a high abundance of polymetallic nodules (also called manganese nodules) resting on the sea floor, which has caused it to be targeted for mining."
Read the full interview with Smith, including a description of rare marine life living in the deep sea, at environment-hawaii.org.
