RE: STRONG SUPORT RESULUTION 73-23
Dear COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS:
As the co-founder of Legacy Reef Foundation, a coral preservation and restoration non-profit
based in Kona, Hawaii, we believe Resolution 73-23 in the best interest of our struggling coral
reefs and our local marine life in the State of Hawaii.
Healthy coral reefs protect our island's coastal infrastructure,beaches, and community. We
believe the premise of Res. 73-23 will lay the foundation for the county to move forward with
initiatives to reduce solid and liquid waste, and generate clean energy,thus reducing the
damaging effects we are seeing in our oceans and costal zones.
I submit my testimony in strong support of Resolution 73-23.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this most important issue,
I,, ,
