Everyone who lives there wants to preserve the natural environment and the 71r i1 <br /> lifestyle. We ogee with tJre need to preserve nature and the community. However, we aiso <br /> believe that the residents of Ka'u Head responsible economic development to allow thel - -o <br /> support themselves, maintain their home, and keep Ka'u from becoming a ghost town. <br /> We think it is possible for the Sea Mountain goup m be sensitive to the environment, ! at = i~ i <br /> to the peeople of Kah, and sensitive to our community needs. Instead of opposing the tl v; ecr <br /> County Council should en.;ure that the developers keep their promises and create a pre j'ct Ohl <br /> will pro',nde good jobs, public access to the ocean and other resources, and respect for t a;ivc <br /> Hawaiiaa concerns. <br /> The ILWU urges rejection of Resolution L69-07 and supports a responsible Sea Mounts in <br /> project.
