Board of Land and Natural Resources approves land transfer for Kawainui Marsh

Great News!

The Board of Land and Natural Resources today approved the land ownership transfer details of Kawainui Marsh from the City & County of Honolulu to the Department of Land and Natural Resources. This will allow the Army Corps Of Engineers restoration project to proceed as well as give access to Division of Forestry and Wildlife for all of the marsh that was owned by the city and county.

Mahalo to all who had some involvement in getting this process done. Time to move forward!
