From: Proiect Kolika <br /> To: WPCtestimonv;Council Remote Testimony <br /> Subject: ATTN: Development on Punalu"u Black Sand Beach <br /> Date: Tuesday, March 5,2024 12:10:19 PM <br /> To whom this may concern, <br /> On behalf of Project Kolika, a 501c3 nonprofit focused on ocean conservation and research, <br /> we do not support the development on Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. Punalu'u is home to the <br /> Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle and a nesting ground for the critically endangered Hawaiian <br /> Hawksbill Turtle. Development on these sacred lands will exploit Ka'u culture and destroy <br /> fragile ecosystems. <br /> We hope you'll make the right decision to protect Hawaii's wildlife and Hawaiian culture. <br /> Best fishes, <br /> Cassie Paumard <br /> Lead Marine Biologist and Founder of Project Kolika <br /> roiectkolika.ory <br /> U <br />
