Over the <br /> years, Madame Pele has taken away a large portion of accessible shoreline, and left the <br /> growing population of Puna with few safe swimming areas. <br /> A feasibility study for a safe and accessible swimming site in Puna would be <br /> most welcomed. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Harry Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
