Box 70 <br /> Volcano, Hawai'i 96785 <br /> Dear Ms. Bernard and Ms. Lamson, <br /> RE: Hawai'i Wildlife Fund Mahalo Letter <br /> Thank you for your letter dated December 4, 2017. I would like to congratulate <br /> you on the many accomplishments the Hawai'i Wildlife Fund (HWF) has made in the <br /> preservation of Hawaii's native wildlife through research, education and conservation. <br /> More specifically, the County of Hawaii applauds the HWF's Maui Team actions <br /> in assuring that the endangered Hawksbill sea turtle hatchlings make their way safely to <br /> the ocean. This has certainly been an example of successful teamwork to save an <br /> endangered species from predators, excessive coastal lighting, entrapment in ocean <br /> debris and road crossing dangers. <br /> I also thank you for HWF's campaign to keep Hawai'i Island beaches as free as <br /> possible from marine debris. We realize this is an ongoing effort and applaud the <br /> removal of over 63,855 pounds of marine debris from the shores of Hawai'i Island. <br /> Finally, thank you for supporting Ke Kai Ola Marine Mammal Center located at NELHA. <br /> Ke Kai Ola is in full operation helping the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals as a <br /> hospital, response team outreach and education center. <br /> Best wishes for every success in 2018. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> arty <br /> Mayor <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
