AI Summary
-
Department of Land and Natural Resources is requested to conduct a feasibility and cost study for constructing a boat ramp in the Puna District of Hawaii's Big Island
-
The 2018 Kilauea eruption and subsequent lava flows destroyed roads and made the only existing boat ramp and pier in Puna District inaccessible and unusable
-
Fish caught from the Puna District boat ramp account for over 30 percent of total fish caught on the island of Hawaii
-
Loss of the boat ramp has increased fuel costs and travel times for independent fishermen, raising fresh fish prices statewide, and threatens the fishing industry which is a major economic driver in the economically disadvantaged Puna District

Department must submit findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation to the Legislature no later than 20 days before the 2020 Regular Session convenes
