Aloha Hawaii County,
My name is Emmett Enriques. I and am born and raised on Punaluu Beach Hawaii.My Ohana have been long term
oahu to the land surrounding the beach ahupua'a. Since I was a child,my ohana has helped in many ways:beach
clean ups,restoring the Heiaus,making signs to leave the wildlife alone,protecting the nerve goose,and so much
more.
We have known Eva Liu for almost 5 years now. I have never,in my 26 years of age,met someone so sly and nasty.
From the moment she moved to Ka'u, she put on a fake happy smile,and tried to warm up the residents to her
development. She poses the development is for the community,but I have seen dozens of cases where she doesn't
keep her word. She is not who she says she is.The fact that even Black Sand Beach LLC is a registered LLC to a
burner address in California should tell you everything you need to know. The picture of her friend touching the
turtle on her main website is even more proof that she will always be Ha'ole,and never understand what it means to
be Hawaiian.
There are countless more reasonings why the resort development doesn't make sense.What I am asking from you,is
to please listen on march 7th,to the people of the ahupua'a and district.We have taken care of this part of the island
for centuries unnoticed,and this is truly not what the people want.
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka `Aina i ka Pono.
Signed,
Emmett Enriques
