Communication No. 2021-07 <br />From: <br />Sent: Sunday, June 20, 20214:28 PM <br />To: Planning - Kona <kona@hawaiicounty.gov> <br />Cc: <br />Subject: Could you get me registered to testify ? <br />Importance: High <br />MM <br />I am interested in testifying for the next hearing, if it is considering testimony to mitigate serious <br />flooding issues in Kona. The photos attached shows the tragic damage to the ocean and billions of Coral <br />Polyp that die from such flooding. 600,000 coral polyps die per square yard..... In the 3rd photo, that <br />was just taken this morning from a flood caused by poor land management that occurred yesterday <br />afternoon after just a 1/2hour rain. We just protected the Coral when spawning a week ago and now <br />this destroys all the coral and all that effort !!! Areas we put flood controls curbed the problem <br />whereas areas that didn't, have extremely serious floodings that took mud and contaminants into the <br />ocean. Tourists were balking at the sight of such poor stewardship of our lands and ocean this <br />morning...... Sewage, floods, debris are making our Kona unappealing to the tourist. More photos will <br />be provided. The second photo was a flooding that should not have occurred but was due to pure <br />disrespect for the land and ocean. <br />Many Mahalos, <br />George Yasuda Tiare Lani Coffee, Inc. <br />Kailua-Kona Bay Prior To Mud Rock Floods <br />
