Future and Challenges in Kailua Watershed (Vol 2)

KAWAINUI-HĀMĀKUA 

MASTER PLAN PROJECT

The future have already been thought of since 2011. The plan is made, although not yet accepted or rejected. Local organisations are fighting state departments and planners on the best outcome for the future. 

This post introduces the reader to the challenges that are present for the watershed, with a primary focus on Kawainui Marsh land and the surroundings. It cannot include Maunawili Valley unfortunately, cause it is not a part of the plan.It builds on previous posts by including well-known organisations and departments that both want the best for the area, but not quite agree on how the future should look like.
