The Kawainui-HAmAkua Complex Master PlanTaking into consideration of the residents' wishes and concerns for the future of the Kawainui Marsh, the Kawainui-Hamakua Complex Master Plan was created by the State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) and Division of State Parks (DSP) as a call for community action for appropriate land use. (Helber Hastert & Fee 2). Despite this plan being made with good intentions, many Kailua residents disagree with some of the ideas the plan proposes. For example, one resident says, “The only way to preserve the marsh for its historic and cultural worth is to NOT build anything there, but rather to protect and maintain the existing marsh properly” (Hofschneider, 1). Today, the lush, 986-acre marsh is full of invasive plants and is polluted by runoff from trash dumped along the side of nearby Kapaa Quarry Road. The Kailua Neighborhood Board and environmental organizations have argued that any buildings or pathways will despoil the marsh and open the door to flocks of tourists. More than 2,000 people signed a petition urging the state to discard the plan. Still, the wetland is a valuable part of the ecosystem, helping to control flooding and serving as home to four species of endangered birds.
