AI Summary

  • Urges the City and County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services to partner with the University of Hawaii, Pacific American Foundation, and other organizations to develop aquaculture on the 16-acre property at 45-230 Kulauli Street, Kaneohe, Hawaii.

  • The property is the former site of the Kaneohe Wastewater Pretreatment Facility (TMK No. 1-4-5-030:036), which was decommissioned with digester tanks demolished in 2020, leaving much of the land underutilized.

  • Located adjacent to Waikalua Loko Fishpond, a 400-year-old ancient Hawaiian fishpond being restored by the Pacific American Foundation since 1995.

  • Aquaculture development would convert an industrially-zoned, environmentally sensitive former facility into productive use while supporting state goals in seafood consumption, food production, food self-sufficiency, and export opportunities.

  • Requires certified copies of the resolution to be sent to the University of Hawaii System President, Honolulu Mayor, Director of Environmental Services, and Pacific American Foundation leadership.
