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 />
