This proposed expansion of Pu'uhonua O Iionaunau National Park is of utmost importance. These lands that surround the present parr have laiaa relatively untouched since ancient titres, and the presence of the ancient I~€awaiian culture is evidenced by the rraLtltitude of features and sites both above ground atad below.

The proposed purchase would expand the park by 845 acres and would provide a very necessary buffer from development for the entire p;trk area, assuring a natural view plane and sense of place so important to protect a park with strch worldwide sigz~:ificance and ancient historical importance. Another factor on favor of the purchase of 805 acres is the pristine AA quality of the near- shore environzneat along the I~Ionaunau coastline. Percolation of pollutants, human waste and sedimentation through the peraxteable lava fields is a major threat to the marine environment wherever devel®pralent takes place. As rampant de~~eiopment threatens the entire West klawaii coastline, it is important to focus on preserving such currently pristine and cultut'ally significant places as Honaunau.
