destroying surf zone
and impacting Small Boat Harbor

see Draft EIS

In a series of meetings, held during working hours and attended mostly by the businesses using the harbor, the Harbor Users decided to put the Superferry and Cruise Ships on the west side of the harbor (where the small boat ramp and surf break are.)

There were no surfers or Hawaiian cultural experts in attendance at these meetings. The people of Maui had no voice since these meetings were held during the workday and we didn’t draw down a big salary for attending.

It appears that small boaters may be restricted as to their parking and access to the small boat ramp.

Cruise Ship companies demanded three docks!

At no time did anyone at the meetings(except Karen Chun) say: Let’s just get rid of the Cruise ships from Kahului Harbor since they don’t pay their way.
