Take a tour of dunes, wetlands
Posted in Maui news
Maui Coastal Land Trust has scheduled a free, guided three-hour walk through the Waihe'e coastal dunes and wetlands refuge on June 2 beginning at 9 a.m.
The event is open to the public, but call (808) 244-5263 for reservations.
"This is a terrific opportunity to see an incredible coastal dunes and wetlands complex, which was once the site of ancient Hawaiian villages, an extensive inland fishpond and several heiau," said Dale Bonar, executive director of the Maui Coastal Land Trust, which owns and manages the property.
The 277-acre site will be restored as an environmental, cultural, historic and educational treasure.

Please Participate in Superferry Protest And Traffic Simulation Demonstration
Posted in Maui news
When 110 cars drive off the Superferry and onto Ka'ahumanu Avenue each morning while another 110 cars wait to drive onto the ferry, exactly what sort of traffic jam will result?
That's the question that Pacific Whale Foundation and Maui Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. hope to answer with a live traffic simulation that will be conducted on Friday, June 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The traffic simulation will be conducted in conjunction with a sign-waving protest along Ka'ahumanu Avenue.

Dry Molokai has little enough water, none at all for La’au Point
Posted in Maui news
Molokai has a long history of drought relative to the neighboring islands. Molokai is very arid, and for this very reason was bypassed in the late 1700s and 1800s by sailing ships looking to replenish their water supplies.
Renewable Energy Lab blessed at Hana School
Posted in Maui news
Hana high school students have built what one of them called the "green shack." Not the kind made from coconut fronds with bamboo framing but the other kind of green building, the more high-tech one, an energy-saving structure with photovoltaic panels, a windmill and solar hot water system. The Alternative Energy Lab was erected by about 40 students in the Hana School Building Program Ma Ka Hana Ke 'Ike ("In Working, One Learns") and blessed by Solomon "Uncle Bully" Kahalewai Hoopai last week in a ceremony attended by about 250 students, school staff and community members.

Maui Tomorrow dedicated to responsible planning
Posted in Maui news
Maui Tomorrow Foundation Inc. thanks The Maui News for its coverage of the May 14 public forum, "Wailea 670 and South Maui Development, How Much is Too Much?" However, we would like to clarify that our organization's mission is not "anti-development" but rather is dedicated to the promotion of responsible planning and sustainable growth for Maui County.
The purpose of the public forum was not to attack the Wailea 670 plan, but rather to inform the public of what the impacts would be from the project as currently proposed. Issues of water usage, increased traffic congestion and loss of endangered native plants are worthy of discussion. As Charlie Jencks and Wailea 670 consultants have been allowed ample time to present this project to the County Council - half-hour presentations versus three minutes allowed for public testimony - we believed this was an opportunity to hear and consider another perspective.
As part of Maui Tomorrow's mission we work to promote, sponsor and participate in educational and community programs, seminars and other functions related to best development practices and an informed public. Without vigorous discussion, Maui County will continue to get whatever developers propose rather than thoughtful and manageable growth.
Maui Tomorrow believes the environment truly is our economy and remains dedicated to responsible planning and sound management of Maui's natural and cultural resources.
