Bill > SCR59

This concurrent resolution requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to collaborate with the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) to improve and support the ongoing repair and redevelopment of the Kihei ramp, a public boat launch located in South Kihei on Maui. The resolution highlights that the ramp has been an important community resource for recreational activities like fishing and diving, and notes that DLNR has previously established successful partnerships with community nonprofits to manage state facilities. The KIRC regularly uses the ramp to access Kahoolawe and plans to develop a visitor center nearby, which could help leverage additional private investment and support for the ramp's maintenance. The resolution formally requests this collaborative partnership and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to key state and county officials, including the Governor, DLNR Chairperson, Boating and Ocean Recreation Administrator, KIRC leadership, and the Maui County Mayor.
