Turtle Bay Talk by Lingle on March 4

Gov. Lingle has proposed that the State acquire Kawela Bay to preserve the area and avert the controversial expansion plans for the Turtle Bay resort. If you would like to carpool to her Talk Story session on Tues., March 4, 6:30 -8:30 pm at Kahuku High School please contact Surfrider Foundation's Kory Payne at spinandshift@yahoo.com or call him at 457-8622. Let us know if you can drive or need a ride, and we'll put you in touch with someone in your area.

Several of BAH's allies who joined with us for our statewide Groundhog Day Beach Rally event have been instrumental in taking the lead on this effort to protect the North Shore from overdevelopment. There are now 20 organizations in the Koolauloa-North Shore Alliance, which was formed to share and communicate information about the Kawela Bay initiative.

Although much has to be worked out on the details of acquiring this property, we believe now is the time to have serious discussions about the Governor's bold proposal.
