SENATE COMMITTEE ON WATER, LAND AND HOUSING HOSTING
\nDLNR LISTENING SESSIONS ON HAWAI\u2018I ISLAND<\/p>\n

HILO\u2014The Senate Committee on Water, Land and Housing (WLH) Chair Senator Donovan M. Dela Cruz and Vice Chair Senator Malama Solomon in partnership with Senator Gilbert Kahele are hosting the Department of Land and Natural Resources\u2019 (DLNR) Hawai\u2018i Island Listening Sessions on Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5, 2011. The DLNR Administration team, including Chairperson William J. Aila, Jr., First Deputy Guy H. Kaulukukui, and Water Deputy Bill M. Tam from Honolulu, is visiting Hawai\u2018i Island to hear community comments, questions, and concerns regarding topics under the Department\u2019s jurisdiction.\u00a0 This is part of a series of DLNR Listening Sessions to be conducted statewide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meetings and site visits that DLNR has been conducting on the neighbor islands have been very successful in helping Senators address community concerns and needs,\u201d said Senator Donovan M. Dela Cruz, who has been attending the talk story sessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving Chair William Aila and his team visit the Big Island is a great opportunity for them to listen to residents and to see for themselves the pressing needs of our community,\u201d said Senator Malama Solomon, who represents District 1, which encompasses Waimea, H\u0101m\u0101kua, North Hilo, Keaukaha, and Hilo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to continuing the conversation with Chair William Aila and his DLNR team about finding a solution to the problem the axis deer is posing on the Big Island\u2019s agricultural industry,\u201d said Senator Gilbert Kahele, who represents District 2, encompassing Ka\u2018\u016b, Puna and Hilo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese listening sessions are purely for the Department to visit with communities and receive feedback on the communities\u2019 ideas and concerns relating to the Department\u2019s responsibilities,\u201d said William J. Aila, Jr., Chairperson of DLNR. \u201cCommunity participation is essential to caring for our land and natural resources in Hawai\u2018i.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DLNR is responsible for managing 1.3 million acres of state land, 3 million acres of state ocean waters, 2 million acres of conservation district lands, our drinking water supply, our fisheries, coral reefs, indigenous and endangered flora and fauna, and all of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s historic and cultural sites.\u00a0 DLNR\u2019s management responsibilities are vast and complex, from the mountaintops to three miles seaward of our beautiful coasts.\u00a0 The health of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s environment is integral and directly related to its economy and quality of life.<\/p>\n
