Subject: PUNALUU PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Date: Thursday,March 14, 2024 9:31:00 AM
Ka`u is about the last frontier for the Big Island in terms of areas still
in their relatively natural and undeveloped state. We all know the
unseen collateral damages brought by so-called development. Yes
there might be job opportunities. Yes there might be morethings to
do in a relatively quite place like Punaluu. But these instant
gratification "jobs" and "excitement" belie the long term damage
that development entails: adverse effects on the beach, the honu,
the environment; unwarranted commercialism and its permanent
effects on our way of life, etc...
Please deny the request of Black Sand Beach Punaluu LLC for a
special use permit to develop the area. No more development and its
attendant environmental and social impact!
Mahalo!

Aloha and Namaste!

"Look for the light!Study the light in everybody you come across. Notice it in total
strangers. Notice it in people you love. Notice it even in people you think you don't like.
Every time you're in contact with anyone, look for the light. Open yourself up to the
resonance and notice the change that happens within you."-Karen Walsfrond(writer-
