Although I did not grow up on the island, it has had such a major impact on my family. My mom grew up in Hawaii and on occasion, we get to visit and see these treasured places that hold many memories for her. The land is cherished not only for its views but for the greater purpose it serves. Protecting and prioritizing the land and the wildlife that inhabit it is crucial. The Res. 83-21: KE ALA KAKOU specifically protects Holualoa Village from the flood as well as provides space and meaning to the IMIN center ad Holualoa Elementry. What should matter is the land and maintaining the beautiful ecosystem. Although tourism can be profitable, eventually it will bring in nothing if the land is devastated. It is critical that this land is maintained and not misused. It serves the ecosystem and the community and should continue to do so without interruption and destruction. Thank you for your time, Miranda Brake .:. r- o- Comm. No. o4. Ref. To: P I VG Ref. Date APR 2 0 2021 1
