Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 80 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the state government to undertake a variety of initiatives to preserve and protect Hawaii's beaches and shorelines.

Your Committee finds that it is incumbent upon this Legislature to support the preservation and protection of the fragile boundaries of the Pacific Ocean, and its shores and beaches, to restore balance and harmony to a world threatened with pollution and the sizable loss of viable land and shorelines.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources and five concerned citizens supported this measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 80 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
