Urging The City And County Of Honolulu Department Of Environmental Services And Partners To Utilize The Property Located At 45-230 Kulauli Street, Kaneohe, Hawaii, For Aquaculture Purposes That Will Not Unreasonably Interfere With The Department's Regular Use Of The Property.
Summary
HCR75 is a concurrent resolution from the House of Representatives of the Thirty-first Legislature of Hawaii, urging the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Environmental Services to utilize a specific property located at 45-230 Kulauli Street in Kaneohe for aquaculture purposes. This property, previously the site of the Kaneohe Wastewater Pretreatment Facility, is currently underutilized following its decommissioning. HCR75 seeks to transform this land into a productive aquaculture site without impeding the Department's regular operations at the facility.
The resolution highlights the potential of aquaculture as a means to revitalize the area, contributing positively to sustainable development initiatives in Hawaii. It emphasizes that using the site for aquaculture could enhance local food production, improve food self-sufficiency, and provide export opportunities, thereby benefiting the economy. The combined efforts of various stakeholders, including the University of Hawaii and the Pacific American Foundation, are encouraged to facilitate this transition.
HCR75 signifies an opportunity to return an environmentally sensitive parcel of land back to productive use, aligning with broader goals of promoting greater seafood consumption and food security in the state. It also reinforces the importance of collaboration between government departments and non-profit organizations in addressing environmental and economic challenges.
Although HCR75 is a resolution rather than a legislative bill that enacts law, its passage indicates a strong intent among lawmakers to reclaim and repurpose the land with thoughtful considerations of both ecological and economic impacts. The resolution received unanimous support during a Senate vote, highlighting collective agreement on the benefits of such aquaculture initiatives in the region.
