Workshop planned on Kaena Point issues

Advertiser Staff

HONOLULU – The Department of Land and Natural Resources will hold a public workshop on Kaena Point Management issues from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Honolulu Community College Marine Education and Training Center at 10 Sand Island Parkway. (Turn right at the stoplight just after the former draw bridge. The METC facility is on the mauka side of the DLNR Sand Island Launch Ramp Facility parking lot.)

The DLNR has formed a Kaena Point Stewardship Planning Group comprised of staff from the state parks, aquatic resources, land, forestry and wildlife, and enforcement divisions who have been working together to develop stewardship and management plans for areas under DLNR jurisdiction.

The planning group is gathering community members for the advisory group that will work on solutions to the immediate management issues in the area. At this workshop, the public will have the opportunity to provide constructive suggestions on specific issues relating to Kaena Point as well as self-select representatives from the cultural practitioners, fishing, and conservation communities to sit on the advisory group, according to a DLNR news release.
