MEDIA RELEASE
 
The Department of Land and Natural Resources is seeking public comment on management actions it plans to implement in the Kealakekua Stewardship Area starting this summer. Public comments will be accepted through Tuesday, March 31.

The plan represents a unified management approach to protecting the historical and cultural integrity of Kealakekua Bay and surrounding areas, as well as the fragile natural resources.

Each of the divisions participating in this integrated resource stewardship effort has made a “pact” with the other to extend, within existing or anticipated administrative rules, a cooperative approach in managing this area.

Land Division (LD)
Division of State Parks (DSP)
Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR)
Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW)
State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD)
Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR)
Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE)
