My district update – District – 3, <br />Panaewa all into Keaukaha all into Banyan Drive. This past weekend I was fishing in <br />Bayfront, and I came across the marine biologist that runs, I guess, out of \[unclear\], but <br />they said there’s a huge decline in active sharks, hammerhead sharks, and out of the fish <br />that we on the inside of Bayfront. I don’t understand why – I actually caught – I got an 8’ <br />shark this past week – and they were taking the shark apart and trying to figure out <br />what the shark was eating ‘cause they think that the black tips are eating the baby <br />hammerheads for some reason, I don’t know, that was just what had come across. <br />Another one is the wastewater treatment plant – the plan to – the wastewater <br />treatment plan, an updated, and it’s gonna cost – it’s gonna take 7 years and the Mayor <br />said it’s gonna take up to 8 billion, 8-11 billion at max to fix Hilo alone – Hilo to HPP. And <br />that’s all of the water that’s polluting fisher coastline on the East side. From Keaukaha <br />all the way to Shipman’s beach. And other than that, that’s it. Mahalo. <br /> <br />AA: Hey, Leomana? Did you go to the wastewater meeting – the public meeting that they <br />had? Abraham, District – 5. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
