sea floor; damage to the fragile ecosystems; negative impacts to our endangered honu <br /> habitat; and the high possibility of increased land tax for surrounding residents. <br /> • I do not want the residents of Ka'u to fall prey as did those in Kailua, Kona; Waikoloa; <br /> Waikiki; and other areas suffering from the greed of developers. <br /> • The people of Ka'u have always preserved the area from major development because <br /> every resident understands the significance of Punalu'u. Many of us fellowship, gather <br /> food, or practice cultural activities at Punalu'u. It would be a shame and detriment to <br /> our community if access to Punalu'u becomes limited to Ka'u's residents. To many of <br /> us that are from Ka'u, Punalu'u is the heart of the area. When Punalu'u becomes too <br /> crowded or access becomes limited, a huge part of Ka'u's identity will be lost-- <br /> generations will suffer. Therefore, I do not endorse this development at the cost of us <br /> possibly losing a huge part of our identity. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Jennifer Makuakane <br />
