DLNR Holds 2nd Public Informational Meeting
On Mala Boat Ramp Dredging Project

LAHAINA – The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) invites the public to participate in an informational meeting about the Mala boat ramp improvement project, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 30, at the Lahaina Intermediate School, 871 Lahainaluna Road. 

DLNR’s project contractor, American Marine Corporation, will share the most current information with boaters about its planned maintenance dredging of 3,300 cubic yards of material from the boat ramp basin.    The anticipated start date for the project is mid to late November. 

The last dredging of the Mala boat ramp was in 1999. 

“These improvements are part of the Lingle-Aiona Administration’s ongoing efforts to upgrade our state small boat harbors and to ensure accessibility, safety, and comfort of all residents and visitors who use the boating facilities,” said DLNR chairperson Laura H. Thielen.

Any person requiring special assistance (i.e. large print material, sign language interpreters etc.) is asked to contact Wesley Choi at (808) 243-5824 or Hal Silva at (808) 662-4060.
