Message: I urge the mayor to purchase the coast line from Olowalu to Lahaina for the purposes of preserving it for recreational, cultural, scenic and environmental purposes.

It is likely that if this acquisition is not approved before the seller's end of year deadline, the land will be subdivided and the shoreline will be covered permanently by continuous private walled beachfront estates. This would be a tragic missed opportunity. The Mayor informs us that the funds are available if the Council approves the purchase this Friday morning.
If you can attend Friday's 9am County Council meeting, please take the time to attend and offer personal testimony in support of the purchase. This will probably be the last opportunity to do something great for future generations.
This land is 277 acres of the former Waihee Dairy, with 1.5 miles of shoreline was slated for golf course and luxury housing development. It was conserved in perpetuity through the hard work of community members and government visionaries who believed in the importance of preserving some of Maui's disappearing coastal lands in perpetuity for recreational, cultural, scenic and environmental purposes. It is permanently open for public shoreline access and being restored to 100% native species habitat for all manner of endemic plants, birds and other species.
Let's work together to preserve a major section of West Maui's rapidly developing shoreline!
