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.

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.
